Selling full res picture on cd? - 10-02-2007, 06:15 PM


I have a parent wanting to purchase a full resolution (Football game action) picture from me on a cd. She wants to go get a cut out trophy made of her son.
For some reason I don't want to do this and if I did I would not know how much to charge.

Any advice?

Thanks,
Don

you can look at LSCSN.com site and compare prices, see what Jason charges. It's not cheap cause that allows unlimited prints of the image.

If you don't want to give out a print release, why not find out the who, what, when, and how much for YOU to do it for her?????? That way she gets the statue and you don't have to sell stuff you don't want to.

I sell youth action photos to parents. Have played with different pricing to maximize revenue from each game and right now I offer CDs of all of one child's images for $85 with rights to print, but not to sell/publish. I think for that type of photography it's a fair price, especially if you are selling to multiple parents from a game where there isn't just a single client who had you come out to shoot photos.

I agree. Offer her what she's looking for and both of you are happy. If she had to buy the CD from you for 85.00 and then go have a cut-out made, it might get a little pricy. Here's mpix version of cut-outs.
