Hello Gang,
I am in need of help to get through a commercial photo adventure. This is something that I know very little about and don't want to blow the opportunity. Here is the story.....
This past weekend, I was out shooting a snowmobile race up here in Munising, MI. My intent was to just get out and shoot....no commercial intent, no intent of any sales except for a friend that was racing.
This afternoon I got a call from one of the race organizers. He informed me that one of the manufacture's pro race teams needed images of their riders for a press release. By the time I had contacted the race marketing guy for manufacturer, they had already had to dig up archive images for the press release.
They called back half hour later telling me they want images anyways, with licensed digital downloads available. The licensing issue should not be a difficult situation with my smugmug account. My big question here is costs.....what is a fair-for-all fee for a digital image download with commercial use licensing?
I have been searching for other smugmug users that have this feature available and have come across a huge variation in fees. Anywhere from 10 dollars for a low-res commercial to 1000 dollars for high-res commercial.
Any suggestions? I need to have this race gallery set up by midday Tuesday.
