Hello,
I have been asked to do some photography work at a major events center on various occasions as a freelancer. There are a variety of large musical acts and entertainers and sporting events and very newsworthy events there. They like my work and are interested in rates.
I was also wondering when shooting events that are very newsworthy such as this; do you usually maintain rights to your images in hopes that you may receive further publication and income by selling those images to other media outlets?
Or does a venue usually demand exclusivity for the images you take for them while under contract?
Also, if anyone has advice on what to charge in this situation it would be a huge help.
I have been trying to get work in this field for years now and have not known the right people. I had a friend hired at a major event center and I was flattered to find she suggested me as a backup freelance photographer for these events. Her boss loved my work and is now wondering what my rates are.
This is a huge step for me and a big foot in the door (hopefully); but I feel that my rate request will be very much scruitinized as far as overbidding or underbidding. I havnen't the slightest where to go on this one.
cheers,
M
