A company has approached me to do 50 photos for them @ £35 per photo ;~)

Hi,
Congrats..big move forward.Make sure you invoice them and stipulate 30 days max for payment.

Congrats my friend...I have no idea if that is fair market value for photography[but it would get me TG2]...do you retain the rights to the images or are they owned totally by the company when done? That would be a consideration of mine. Find a good artists contract...must be some online, and protect yourself tho.. ...

 

Once in a while I look around,
I see a sound
and try to write it down
Sometimes they come out very soft
Tinkling light sound
The Sun comes up again

Thanks for the info.  I have not thought much further than the £££'s I think they would own the rights not sure being digital I will always have a copy of the files.  It's a fare price.  They normally use a "Pro" He charges £50 per photo.  I got to see his work and told them I could do better and for less, to start with.  I just want to get my foot in the door.

Well done! Don't let anyone fleece you!

Congrats on the break!

I would suggest that you clarify the copyright issue though - apart from anything else it should make a significant difference to the price.  Plus of course, if you retain the copyright then you can always re-use the images again!

Watch your step David, the tax man will want some of that, I haven't worked for three years now and they keep sending me demands for more money.

Hope it pans out well for you mate.

Good luck,  and well done,I charge by the job rather than per photo, its a good rate if you can do the work over  a few days. I use each new kind of job to add to my equipment because we have no hire shop in North Scotland. So over 5 years I have now got kit for a variety of assignments.

Start keeping all your receipts for kit and expenses to offset against your tax return.

Check if you are required to have third party insurance for working at the clients locations. Its useful to have cover against claims for damage accidently caused by you. I have a lot of  cover for 7 ukpounds a month.
