additional potential clients - 05-11-2010, 08:57 PM


I was hired last week to do the photography for a 3-day conference. During the course of the conference I photographed a number of different groups/companies that were represented, and a couple of them asked how to go about getting copies of the images I shot. Today I received permission from the client that hired me to try and sell these additional groups some images, but I have some questions before I contact these groups.

Since out of the whole conference I only shot each of these other companies that asked about photos for approximately one hour and got 21 and 26 images for them respectively, what would be the best way to go about pricing these images? I wouldn't feel right in charging an additional "creative fee", and am leaning towards a straight fee/image scenario, but am yet to decide on a pricing strategy.

If anyone has any thoughts, I would appreciate it.

Thanks.

Send them the best image (one only). Tell them it was your pleasure to photograph them at the event and would like to talk with them about future
events of their own regarding your photography services.
Forgo a few bucks profit now for the opportunity to cash in later on.

It's incredibly hard to sell something after the fact. Unless you got paid for the individual shots up front, go with Tom's suggestion and use it as a marketing tool that the recipients will find a lot of value in.
