White balance is WAY off, focus point should be more towards the front, the setting and lighting is pretty bad.

Thanks for the tips guys. Now what should I do about being requested to email the photo to the restaurant manager so they may use it somewhere? Should I do it?

You can always try, but I'd work on the file more to bring out detail. Personally I wouldn't send it, but I'm quite strict with what I output.

^ In the above case, would the photographer need a signed release by the participants that can be clearly identified?
I've got some of mine in those schmaps as well, lol. The one for Seattle. Hilton Malaysia also used one in their marketing material.

I didn't want to start a new thread but I have some questions that you guys hopefully can give me some advice on. I was contacted by a local graphic designer who wanted to use one of my images for a brochure she's doing for the City of Richmond and was asking what my fee and terms would be. My cousin told me that I wouldn't be able to sell it since I don't have a property release from BCIT. This is the shot in particular: 
I think my cousin is probably right since it makes sense (to me) that BCIT is private property. Just wanted to get some more input.

So I replied saying that I wouldn't mind, but only for a fee and a contract.
Well, I accepted the offer, but how should I go about getting the money? I think direct deposit/transfer to my bank account would be the easiest, as I don't want to risk a cheque/money order or lose money from PayPal.
Also, she asked for an invoice, which I understand is for tax/legal purposes, but how would I prepare one myself?
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks all!
oh btw, she asked for these three. | Wouldn't you need the consent of the people in your photos?

No problemo. That graphic designer may not have known, but once she submitted the design for the brochure to Richmond, they would have axed your image for sure.

Bump from the dead!
I've recently been contacted on flickr about usage for one of my photos in their CD Booklet. Quote:
Hi There,
My name is Steve and I own and operate an indie music label here in Vancouver. I have a band that is about to release their second album and we'd be very interested in using one of your fine shots. It's one of your shots of Vancouver at night.
Anyway I'm a small label with limited resources and I'm hoping we can work out a deal to use that shot on the booklet that will be released with the album.
I can be reached by phone at 604-xxx-xxxx
Thanks for your time.
Steven Chan

Im just wondering what my options are. Do I ask for monetary compensation?
I have never been contacted with regards to this before, nor have I ever sold a photo.

Prices for things like this go in order of: cover, centrefold, back cover, everywhere else. Also, will your image take up a whole page or partial page? What is the number of pressings? Where is the CD going to be distributed? How long are you going to give permission for them to use the image - just this one project, or for more projects?
Unfortunately, I can't tell you what the going rate for things like this are, as I don't know. There is a software used by pros that will give you the going rate (in USD) for image usage called Photobiz. If you can find someone who has it, he/she can tell you what the fair market price would be.
Don't give your image out for free. You deserve to get paid for your work. Unfortunately, I have a feeling that if you ask for too much, they'll just go look for some schmuck who is willing to give their image to them, thus further contributing to the demise of the professional stock industry.

although you dont want to give images for free, keep in mind there is NO MONEY in magazines. Unless you are commissioned by a magazine to shoot, or have a timeless image (ie image of man falling from world trade at 9-11), chances are you wont get lots of money. for big name magazines you'd be lucky to get close to $1000 for a picture. You'd be normally looking around a few hundred for stock images if a magazine contacts you.
Why is this you ask? Just because so many ppl wants to get published. If you wont give it for free, there are 100 others that will.
The real money is in advertising, magazine publication is just a medium to get get your name known so you are able to pick up those advertising gigs. Dont focus all ur attention on making money from magazines, because you'll starve.

bumping an old thread, got this in my flickr mail this morning
Dear Bill,
>
> Our Law Firm wants to post your photo on its website as design decisions.
> Thus, your photo on our website will be used for commercial purposes (for the provision of legal services).
>
> We would like to receive your permission to use this photo and sign an agreement with you.
> If you have an example of such an agreement, we will be glad to discuss it. If you don't, we will propose our own version of the agreement.
>
> Waiting for your quick feedback.
>
> With expectations for the future cooperation,
Helen
Seems a little fishy since they didn't mention what photo they were interested in and the mail looked exactly like that, with the little >. Looks as if they sent the same thing to multiple people

Sounds sketchy. Check the e-mail address that sent it to you, and see if it seems legit. A proper law firm should have a digital signature at the bottom of the e-mail with contact info, and something like, "this message is sent in confidence, if you are not the intended recipient, please destroy...etc, etc".

| www.kievbarristers.com doesn't exist. www.kievbarrister.com does exist, but there is only one page, and the page is in English. I say something smells fishy.
