I am currently making a foray into marketing some of my shots for commercial use. I have been deeply engrained in the cycling industry for about 10-12 years, both as a professional racer as well as a product developer/tester and journalist. Up until now most of my photo work has been either as an employee of the company who used them (and thus free) or for editorial use in various industry magazines.

I have fallen back into photography as of late, and have a ton of contacts who are interested in buying shots for catalogs/marketing purposes.

I am aware that there are online pricing guides, with prices varying wildly depending on use.

Would anyone be able to point me in the proper direction to find some of these?

Also, i am on the lookout for a nice solid contract to use for these sales, does anyone have a sample i could see to work off of? I will have it written up and notarised/checked for bulletproofness ASAP.

Some of the catalog sales are actually urgent, as they are in selection now for 2006 product line tradeshow stuff, so I need to get my butt in gear.

thanks in advance.

I also recommend Fotoquote.

Also, for the forms and contracts: this is the best $30.00 I ever spent:
