<p>I'm confused by these responses. If a magazine were to approach you about a photo you took of a person, say someone less famous than Brett Favre, a college div II quarterback instead, and offered to pay you $50 to use the photo in their magazine, would you not be allowed to sell the photo?</p>

<p>I'm an aspiring sports photographer and last year I photographed a trail marathon running race for one of my practice shoots. I contacted the race director about shooting it officially this year and he asked what I would charge.<br>

Now, I have no idea what I would charge, but I don't want to undercut any other photographers. What are reasonable rates? Also, I have no idea how this system would work. Do photographers get charged hourly/flat rate and then make the profits off individual photo sales? Or are they not paid and only make money from individual sales? Or do they get charged hourly/flat rate and give all the photos to the race (in all the races I've participated in, I've never seen this)?</p>
