Hi William,
I really like your approach to my question. The company I'm talking about own some drive-in theatres. Over the years I have shot their Scottsdale location several times (which does not exist anymore,) and they're looking for imagery of their Glendale location (something they, and I don't have much of.)
Based on the imagery they're looking for, and what I've done for them in the past; I have told them it would take me a few months to properly capture the right images during their special events, and take me even longer to fully finish the images. Because of the time involved and the cost of all the work involved to do this properly; I'm sure they're not going to pay what ever that adds up to. So I offered the fully finished images I've already shot years ago that could be used at any of their locations rather quickly if they wanted.
Your advise of $250 per image is what I'll offer for three years.
Do you have a suggestion what type of cloud service or template to use for a "Standard Usage Rights Invoice?"
I also like the idea of avoiding a negotiation, so I'll send them the Standard Usage Rights Invoice and make it valid for 30 days. And no worries about not being greedy; I've already spent a few grand on this years ago, and I'm not doing freebies anymore! If they don't want pay what ever the going rate is; that is perfectly fine with me.
In case your curious, those color images have been on my website for years. http://www.leisuretimephotography.com (Make sure flash is turned on!) Yea I know; it's not really being supported anymore and I really need to update my site. Once there click on "Fun at the Drive-in," or you can see then on your smartphone without having to worry about flash.
In any case; thank you very much for your help!
