Sounds very professional. Your hourly rate comment confuses me a little though.

linarms wrote in post #6050457
I think it needs to be clearer.

Split your hourly rate from your license fee, and don't discount one if they go with the other.

Also, make the distinction clear. Stuff like "per image licensed", etc.

Finally, how much do you want this work, how much leverage do you have (experience, credentials, etc.), and how well did you gauge their expectations from the phone call?

Even though I have a photography business, I don't have experience in commercial shooting, and I know for sure I'd price my first few sessions accordingly.

Just my thoughts

Oh BTW, you can spin the "just starting out" thing positively ... (I'm assuming it's true, I could be wrong, if so ignore me) ... i.e.

"The commercial side of my business is still relatively new, so while I'd ordinarily charge a more significant fee for usage, I'm happy to give you a 12-month license to use the images as you please for $XXXX. After 12 months we'd need to revisit your license arrangement."

Thanks guys. The work kinda came from an image of mine that was thrown around without me knowing and it fell into their hands, so they rang me straight away and wanted to get me out to do some more shots. It's pretty exciting for me as it's my first time at all of this! So thank you all for your help!

Man - a 12 month supply of XXXX - only a Queenslander could be really happy with that...

Haha yeah there is no way that I'd get excited over that beer.. oh I mean rubbish :P

Not all of us. XXXX is quite possibly the worst beer Australians have come up with, slightly ahead of VB

Hey, lay off our VB!!

Worst would have to be/have been Toohey's Red... That stuff was god-awful!!

And then you've got that cat's urine Fosters... *(goes for a spew just thinking about it)*

I never had that one, so I cant say (sounds like im lucky to have not had it). I'll tell you what is foul and that is that carp they call Amsterdam. It tastes so so foul.

Although lately Ive been drinking a lot of Tooheys Extra Dry. The price is good (both at the bottle shops and at teh uni bar) and it doesnt taste to bad either

Eww all this talk of horrid beer is making me want to have a Pale Ale with my breakfast.... now that is a beer

Both quite good, I also don't mind a Toohey's Pils every now and then...

But regular drink of choice... Brown spirits FTW!!!

Is the zoom ring meant to be soft or hard on these?

Nope.
She's probably still playing with my 50/1.4

Isnt she away?

What do you mean by presentation?

Was the sound good or bad? Was the film scratched/damaged(some​thing you may not notice)? Any stuff-ups that you noticed..

I guess you would have to know what to expect before you could conclude if anything wasn't right.

Ah well, off to uni for three hours now. A two hour workshop on the atmosphere and a lot of physics followed by an evolution lecture. And to say im studying town planning
