These are some things to remember when negotiating rates for photography for use in books. And please send us your accounts of successful negotiations.
- The rates suggested for copyright work are for limited licences: each extra use licensed attracts an extra fee;
- In particular, remember to specify precisely for what territories the photos will be licensed;
- The suggested rates are minima from which freelances negotiate upward according to the value of the work; and
- Freelances who are registered for VAT will add it to every invoice.
