  Hi Everyone

  I have been asked, by a local business, to photograph their premises as part of the nomination process for an award for salon of the year in a well known national magazine. They also would like to use the images for their website.

  My question is how much should I charge for this?

  Should I have a annual rate or perpetuity rate or both?

  Really clueless here as it’s my first time doing this sort oc thing!!

  Thanks all!

  How about you first let them know what the fee would be for you to produce and then provide them with how many images it is that they are saying they need here, for them to use in ‘Magazines ads plus on the Worldwide web, for 1 year, in Ireland plus on the internet’ – which would basically be the same as your Base Usage Rate, as that’s the amount you would like to be paid for the use of your work in either 2 media for 1 year or 1 media for 2 years, in 1 country – which is considered by the Association of Photographers to be like a ‘standard amount of use’ of your work, or your ‘starting point’ when it comes to negotiating the fee for the use of your work.

  Then also let them know what the fee would be for an additional years use of your work in the above 2 media, should they want you to provide them with more than you have quoted them for here – which is where this Calculator would then come into play, as it’s been designed by the Association of Photographers to help photographers such as yourself, to figure-out what the fee would roughly be, for any additional use of your work afterwards.
