Two of my photos are going to be used in a yearlong billboard campaign...

[Jeepnut28]

I am an Advertising Account Executive for a local ad firm, client needed a photo shoot done and I decide I could pull it off.

Well, I guess I did cause she signed off on two photos for use in the campaign.

I think I am in the right business to promote my photos and such to various advertising people.....now if only I could get the photo business to pay as well as the Ad Manager business I would be happy he he.....I think once the billboards make it up, I will take photos of them and then post them up here.

Glad you got your work published... I'm with you - as soon as I can get my photo business to pay like the software development industry I'll be right behind you!

I'd be hapy to get my photo business to pay like recycling cans I find in the alley.

Congrats on the account and especially the billboard. Let us know how you billed for the photo rights. I bid for a shot on the side of a bus. 200 dollars for the shot and a negotiable fee of 3 to 5 thousand for the rights. I think that kind of exposure should be compensated for. I lost the bid, but I don not think I was too far off.

$250 for the shoot, and about $360 per month in advertising commissions......

it was for a Teppan and Sushi place, so I also get "taken care of" whenever I want to eat there.

Thats so cool. I can't wait till you post your photos of them. What is the advertising for?

Oh man am I jealous! I'd love to get compensated with sushi (not to mention $). Congrats

Thanks for the info. Of course the client thought I was on glue when I gave him my bid. Then I got worried that I came in too high. Like I say I stuck to my guns. Now I am glad I did.

I do see alot of potential in the exposure I will get when the campaign goes up...as a friend of mine who lives in Denver and is a pro says "I am just waiting to be discovered".

Thanks!!

i get most of my photo leads from being in the ad business and working with clients in the design of campaigns.......if they need to hire a photographer for an ad, and I think I am capable of it, i mention to them that I shoot sometimes...........

honestly if I were looking for commercial business and I wasnt in the ad business I would probably do some door to door cold calling and other shameless self promotion........first and foremost I am an outside salesperson so networking and cold calling comes easy to me. I can give you more tips if you give me an idea of what your marketing goals are.

Again spill some details and we can help further. Generally figure out a reasonable hour and or day rate. Include post processing time and materials used. Rights and usage fees depend on how much exposure the images will get.
