PRICING GUIDELINES

Assignment Photography:

Assignment photography fees are licensing fees, which are based on production and use of the image. The production and usage fee is calculated per day for “in-house” or portfolio usage rights. In-house rights include use in proposals, sales sheets and a one-time use in a brochure, PR package, direct mail or ad. Licensing for web site use is on an annual basis. All fees include basic equipment and other overhead costs only.

Direct expenses, such as assistants, film, processing, scanning, digital manipulations, prints, slides, etc. are billed in addition to the basic fees. If costs are shared with other users, 25% per user will be added, though the fee and the expenses generally remain the same except for reproductions needed by the additional users. If the uses for the image include national and international advertising and publishing, then these will be quoted separately.

Please note:

If clients want to share the cost with others, as in some architectural and construction situations, the production costs and fees may be split and additional rights use must be added for each additional user of the images. In no case is it permissible for a client to “share” the usage fee, without prior agreement. Although in some cases, because of quantity, this fee may be somewhat lower when there are several images and many users.

Our policy is to work with each individual and project separately, rather than have one party as a “lead” and pay for all the work and then be reimbursed by others. This also helps in the clarification of who holds licenses to use and display the images.
