|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Prices for Image usage Sergei Belski, Photographer Calgary | AB | Canada | Posted: 2:53 PM on 01.08.09 ->> Hello, Sorry if it was asked and I just couldn't find it. Can someone direct me somewhere where I can find how much I need to charge companies to use my images for advertising? Magazines to use my images? I mostly work on an hourly bases and don't know that much about image use charges. Once in a while I get emails - I like your image can I buy it to use it in my advertising. Its usually very small companies with a very small budget but I don't want to undercharge other photographers, and at the same time don't want to overcharge so they will just walk away. Any suggestions? Where do freelance photographers get their rates from? thank you very much, Sergei  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

This won't make you any money but will open the door to many more jobs for which you won't get paid. Remember volume is the key. In case there is any doubt, this is not meant to be taken seriously.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (7) | Huh?

If you would like to see it in use, go to PhotoShelter and act as if your a buyer. Try one of my images if you wish. Those that are available for licensing use the imbedded Fotoquote system. Now that you have that, consider that there are a vast number of places that now only buy on subscription rates from places that offer them those rates... Ah, I hate to even get into it.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I'm in Canada, would Fotoquate or stockprice give me a pretty accurate starting point for Canada as well? Once again thank you very much for all your help!

Also, John Harrington's book "Best Business Practices for Photographers" is a must read.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
