- Photos OK to edit
Okay
I am brand new here and this is a test for useful advice. Let me say that I am not a stranger to taking photos. I was a studio portrait photographer in another life, freelanced for newspapers and I am currently re-starting a commercial photography business.
This past week I was shooting a field hockey game for my daughters and was approached by my citys school systems athletic director wanting to use some of my photos. I normally do not sell my prints other than to individuals and I have never sold a limited copyright to use in advertising (although I am my churches official photographer and I share copyright with them unusual situation).
My thought process is to sell limited rights for 3 photographs for $500.00 with the stipulation that I have a by line (© 2007 David...). This way I can get the exposure and they get the limited right to do whatever they want.
What do you think?
