- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
Hello, everyone!
I have a pricing quandry...
I did a photo shoot yesterday for a fitness studio. We have a trade agreement I like very much, but yesterday's models now want to buy the photos of themselves and I have no idea how to price them. These people are exercise enthusiasts (most are not professionals, but some are) and many (but perhaps not all) are probably anticipating that they will not have to spend a fortune to acquire the images of themselves.
A few want to use the images on their own websites/other websites, so they would want the digital files. With things being such a "digital age" already, I am guessing most people will want them this way.
How should I price them so that I am getting something worthwhile $-wise for my work but I am not pricing them so high that some people just decide they can do without them? I'd rather have some money than no money, so I don't want to price myself out of business.
By the image? By the "package" (all your shots [whether you love them all or not] are $X)? I'm guessing my documents of sale should place limitations on use...do you folks who have been in this position price depending on intended use? Should I charge more for use on a website or on personal promotional materials? (what's a "fair use?" Only personal use? How do you define that edge?) I would assume I would charge extra for editing.
How do you smart people deal with all these pricing complexities?
Thanks!! :heart:
