About Per Image Pricing

I believe images have value.  Some images have more value than others.  And sometimes, the images that you value you already have, you may just be looking for a little help to access it.

Day rates don’t encourage efficiency, productivity and respect for your time.  Per image pricing helps you keep control of their photographic budget. You only pay for selected images. Discounts may be offered based on volume and/or guaranteed minimum image purchases.  I only offer time-based rates for event photography.

I suggest not hiring a photographer based only on price. Different photographers have different production levels, experience, ability and style. My rates may be lower than some photographers due to lower production overhead or higher compared to your local market.  One rule of thumb I find helpful when weighing this decision: 60 percent photography style, 25 percent experience, 15 percent price.

About Copyright

Hiring a photographer means you are commissioning a photographer to create an image(s) for your use. Just like commissioning an artist to paint a portrait or a writer to create a song; the artist still owns the copyright unless transferred in writing.

The general usage rule is one time use during a period of one year, unless agreed otherwise in advance.

As a general rule, I do not offer copyright transfers of my images.  For more information about copyright: http://www.copyright.gov/
