- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos OK to edit
Hello everyone!
So, there is a local company that sells spots in their magazines to restaurants to help promote them. Well technically I am not hired on with this company yet, because after interviewing me, they want me to go on a "trial run" to see if they like my work. If they do, I will get paid for my shoots by the company, as well as have the opportunity to sell the restaurants the photos for an additional fee.
Example: - 5 photos make the magazine, but I still have 120 more photos that made the editing process cut, so I can put those on a disc and give them to the client for X amount. ( I was thinking $400 ) It took me 4 hours, and I think $100 an hour is fair. That was an hour driving, 2 hours at the restaurant, and 2 hours editing.
Anyway, I have 120 photos at this point, and I need to narrow it down to 40 to send to the company, and they choose the 5 that are used.
I have NOT chosen my 40 yet and I have NOT sent them any photos of the shoot yet, so if I need to edit these, I can. That's why I am asking for help.
Any advise you can give would be helpful, photos or business wise.
The company told me to resize the photos before sending them in, and they should be "no more than 8 by 11". I was thinking to send them in 1800 pixels on the long side. Sound about right?
For the ones I put on a disc for the client, should I have those bigger?
I don't expect anyone to give C&C on every photo, but any general thoughts, or photos that you would definitely NOT submit, or ones you think stand out, or need to be edited differently. Anything helps.
Thank you!
