One of my clients today told me (AFTER the supposed
family shoot
) that if she liked my photos, she would use them in an article about her that was being published in a national magazine. Luckily she signed a release that said she can't use them without purchasing the rights to do so. But how much do I charge??? It's essentially selling the copyright since the magazine can then use the photos for whatever they please, whenever they please. I don't think these people understand this, because I had to explain it to them. So I don't think they'll be expecting the multi-hundred dollar price tag that is usually associated with copyright sale. I would much rather have my photo in the magazine (with credit, of course!) than have them decide on a different photo because the price tag is too high.
Ideas? Thoughts? Suggestions?
