<p>I am a relatively new photographer who has had a few contracts with cities in my location to promote tourism and record specific events. A county recently contacted me after getting a referral for my work from another city and asked for something I haven't come across yet, they want to look through images I have of the local area and pick out some which they think will work for their purposes. This is fine and easy to accomplish but then they also said they would be interested in fully buying out the images. After doing some research on what this means, I think what they are looking for is Unlimited Use of whichever images they choose. With this in mind, I've never priced anything like this before. <br> What options do I have with Unlimited Use and how much should I charge? Even some examples from any of you who have had a similar experience would be helpful. I want continued business with this county, so I do not want to over-price my work, but I also want fair compensation for photos which they want to buy exclusive rights for, for a currently indeterminable amount of time. </p> <p>Secondly, if they are interested in purchasing or 'buying out' an image which I have previously licensed to a client as non-exclusive, what does this mean? Having already licensed the image out means they will not be the only one using it, so does exclusive rights still apply or is it something different? </p> <p>Thank you. I know this is a rather broad question. </p>
