Headed West to Present - Rocky Mountain School of Photography

Often I give presentations that last just a few hours, and in August, I'll be headed West to the Rocky Mountain School of Photography, in Missoula, Montana, to present on, what else? The business of photography. If you're interested in learning more, click here to learn about their Summer Intensive. I'll come in at the tail-end of the program and talk, at length, on the subject that will sustain you in the field after school is out and the real world sets in.

PR Photography Pricing and Subject Follow Up

In my other job as a full time photographer, I often get asked by clients "hey, who owns these photographs", and I always respond "I do." This is almost always followed up with "so, how can we see them if we were interested in getting a copy?" I always tell them I will send them an email with that information, which includes the following URL:

www.JohnHarrington.com/Portrait-Copy-Request
That PDF tells them all about the process, and also, that there will be a fee associated with it. Over the years, we have generated significant annual additional revenue from the subjects we photographed, which is just one of the many reasons why keeping your rights is of critical value to solid business practices. Over at A Photo Editor, Rob Haggart has a great article titled Real World Estimates – Publicity Pricing and the Value of Subject Follow-Up, which addresses a number of other points that often come up with clients and subjects.
