Ashley, Yes, I had handed her a written quote for the amount to be charged for the 9 items.
I will definately write it more detailed next time – quoting my hourly rate and how much it is per item if only 4 are used etc..
Its all a learning curve.
I ended up with option B – even though client not even happy with this.
Madeleine – for one off product shots I have always used a sliding scale. I got one a while ago from another photographer. For other types of commercial photography I would charge my hourly fee and then usage fee. And yes, next time EVERYTHING will be written down and signed including angles. It was just the person wanted it YESTERDAY – you know the kind and I knew the person through a network so thought it would work in my favour for more business.. Will think again next time.
Interesting read since I am about to purchase a 5D!
However since the June date has passed was this just a rumour – or is their truth that there will be an imminent launch?!
Didnt have your number to text my address!! But then of course I found it on my voicemail and I must have dialled you back – my head wasnt with it.. Sorry about that!
Anyhoe – on doing some search on the net – I see you can print onto acrylic – do you do this?
I should have mentioned that I am only working off Elements at the moment. Heading to the States in a few months and hope to get Photoshop CS3 over there for cheaper!
But watched the tuutorial anyway and it looks easy enough to follow!
Any idea of another way to convert my RAW files? Had a look in Lightroom and Was sooo lost… The Canon software didnt seem too great but maybe I am not using it to its max..
Was just about to add a topic on this – thanks for the answers!
Was onto a stock agency that kept telling me that my camera needed to be 300dpi – thought it very strange as was sure that this was only of a concern at printing.. delighted that you explained it so well above..
