Good folk of QBN,
I've been approached via my photography site about using an image on the front cover of the in-flight magazine for Thai Airways. This is great news for me as I'm not (yet) what you'd class as a professional photographer.They've asked me about usage fees, but I have no ideas how much you'd normally charge for this. Can anyone give any guidance?
Here's my site: http://www.tomrobinsonphotograph…

Lovely photos chief.
Theres a couple of ways to look at it, first up, how they are going to use it, where its going to be seen, print run, exclusive rights etc. For example, if it were going on an inflight magazine for a run of 5,000-10,000 for a month its different to a billboard campaign running for a year in high profile areas of a major city. And weither or not they want exclusive rights to use it for that time (you wouldn't be able to seel it on to someone else)
If you were to look at gettys rights managed arrangement they have different pricing structures set up for different usages. For instance the print run for the mag (described above) could cost €300 - €600 per image.
A photographer hired to do a shoot might charge €600 for a half day and licence the photograph or charge a further €100 - €200 for each image used (if it were under 20 images or so).
Hope this hasn't confused you more!

Fotoquote!

I'd download the demo version and the PDF.
Note that you may or may not get the prices they quote, but it's worh knowing what your image may be worth.. covers generally start at $1000 or more. The fact that the magazine mentions "usage" means they know what they're doing and won't freak out or randomly demand a "buyout"
Exclusivity is important, maybe Thai airlines only needs exclusive rights to Asia, so you could re-sell the image in North America.... etc...

Great work Ima. Don't be disheartened by the random decision by a senior person to go with someone else... happens all the time and your work is fookin' great. Really interesting shots. Get your book out there!

I use a Canon 5D with a few L series lenses. I wrote a bit about equipment and technique a while back, but decided to remove it from the main menu as it's a bit 'tossy'. You can read it here:
