jgrim8 Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Hello all. This hardrock/metal band from out of town wants me to do some promotional photos for them. They want me to take the pics and do the type (design). They want 1000 8x10 black and white copies. That's no big deal but they also want to know if they can pay extra to share the copyright so they can print them. I don't mind typing up a contract and sharing the copyright, but I have no idea what to charge. I've never had a job like this yet. They have their own website and it looks like they already had two albums. They might get famous! ha ha. Have you ever had a job like this or know anyone that has and how much do you think I should charge. Any input would greatly help me out....thanks.

laurie_m Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Jen, If you think they might become famous, you might want to exchange limited use copyright for model releases from all the band members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douglas_price Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 If they are going to become famous, you'd be better off with royalty payments negotated for each use of the image. Out and out buying the image should be expensive, especially if they might hit it big. Licensing it has the benefit of costing them less if they don't go far, and making you more if they do go far. Depending on the sort of people they are, you can explain it just like that, as a win-win sort of arrangement, and try to build an ongoing relationship with the group.
