- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
Hello fellow shutterbugs! Thanks for having me here.
I am hoping to get a bit of info and/or advice about photo licensing. I recently received an email from a company that wants to use one of my digital photos in a school textbook. It will be a non-exclusive license for a term of 10 years.
This is my first professional opportunity and I really have no clue as to how much money I should be asking from them. They told me their standard rate for using a photo is between $100-200. But for a 10-year license that seems way too low for me. I am tempted to ask for between $1000-2000, but I don't know if I'm asking for too much (or too little for that matter). Can anyone give me an idea of what a reasonable fee would be? If it helps, the photo will be used in a Grade 5 social studies textbook, with 42, 000 copies being printed, and distributed in the provice of Alberta only.
Thanks for any and all help!
