Hello all,
I know this has been discussed a million of times (still using search engine myself), but I just wanted to get some opinions on selling photographs to newspapers.
I just covered the White Party the other weekend (Saturday) and I was amazed that an event as huge as this only made it into the paper on the following Wednesday. And the photo they used was very crappy. (Not bragging, but I had a hundred more that were 10x better)
Obviously, I am going to have to do work ahead of time making connections and such so that I can contact them about future use and contributions.
I am now the only official photographer for Rupaul's South Florida Starbooty Weekend Dec 14-16th. There will be two performances in seperate locations and a book signing at Barnes and Nobles. So in addition to the South Florida Lifestyles magazine I do work for, I will have material that I can offer for sale to the Sun-Sentinel newspaper. The two performances are private events (fundraisers by invite only) so I am guranteed to be the only person with a camera there. (The invites specifically say No Photography on them)
How would I go about offering my photographs for sale/use in the media? Also, **warning newbie question upcoming** how much would I expect to price them at?
Many thanks in advance for your advice and postings here.
