Hi Everybody
I'm new to the forum, and have a question. I just licensed one of my photos for first time. To weatherport to use at their booth at the National western stock show in denver and I got 250 for it. I think that what they paid me was fair, but on the posts I can find they say a photos of 30 by 40 inches should go for 350 or more. I also was wondering if their was a place that you could download a photo license agreement? I am really excited about this since this is the first time I have ever sold one of my photos. I really am impressed by all the great shots I saw on here while I was a lurker.
Thank you before hand.
P.S it was for non exclusive one time use.
Chad

There's always a chance you could have gotten more just as much as a chance you could have gotten less than you did or nothing at all. I wouldn't worry so much over it at this point. You got paid and that's cool!

your right James, And I'm not worried about it now, I figure for my first photo it was really fair and a great experience. and hey, part of the fun was getting to know my photos were as good as my family said they were.

Hi Chad, congrats on your sale! You can always check stock photo sites like getty or alamy to see what standard stock industry prices are for various uses. They have pricing calculators for many common usages.

Hello Chad, congrats on the sale! A good place to start is with a program called FotoQuote Pro. They keep up on the marketplace and have a great deal of information regarding stock sales, useage agreements etc.etc., how to price and negotiate the deal. I earned back the cost of the program with my first stock sale. It is highly recomended by others here as well. Between this and Jack's advice as a reality check youll get it fiquerd out.

Google "photo license agreement sample" (or something to that affect), and I'm sure you'll find something you can edit for your own needs.
