Hello all,
I have foolishly entered into a "handshake" deal with a company to provide photos of their equipment in use by company team players.
This transaction was (so I thought) to be between me and one company individual. We agreed that if I got something they wanted I would be trading my photos for company products. As I am a new to this game and wanted the work I figured this barter would get me in the door, so I agreed.
A couple of days ago two advertising agencies contacted me that represented the company. They wanted the so see the photos and I provided low res versions to them. In the interim I made a number of calls to my company contact to see what was going on and if working with them was OK. Yes, was his answer and that he and I would work out the details of our “barter” later. Off go Hi-Res photo to both ad agencies.
In communication with one of the ad agencies I found out the 8 photos they wanted were going to be used for a product catalog. Further the catalog would be 125,000 copies and the photos “should” be one time use. The other agency picked 2 different photos supposedly for the same reason.
I know I am upside down and bassakwards on the whole deal. But I think the company contact will play fair. So what value do I place on the photos?
I found the following using the POTN search function AND searching this topic.
Type of Use:: Advertising
Specific Use:: Brochures / Catalogs
Press Run:: 100,000 to 250,000
Size:: 1/2 Page
Low Price:: $450.00
Average Price:: $700.00
High Price:: $950.00
Does this make sense? Hell, do I make sense?
Thank you all.
