Hi all, I in need of some advice. I took some photos for a good friend who is a musician recently. He has just recorded his debut EP, which as far as I understand, is with a relatively small local record label, but it's kind of his first big break as a musician.
He has just sent me a message saying the marketing designer wants to use several of my photos for the album cover and artwork, which I'm stoked about, but I'm not really sure what to do in terms of me getting compensated for the photos. I want to help him out, and so far I've been more than happy for him to use the photos on his Facebook page etc (and he has credited me for the photos). Now it seems like if the photos are used in a commercial environment, like an album that is being promoted and sold, that I should be getting something for my photos. The problem is I don't want to jeopardise his chances of success, and I have literally no idea what a fair amount of money is to ask for. So far we haven't really discussed this property, he has only sent me a message asking for the full res photos and saying I will be credited in the album.
Help!
