[QUOTE="SHAkers718, post: 577377, member: 37805"] I responded to an invitation by the Utah Office of Tourism to attend an event for free yesterday. It was at the Utah Olympic Park where they had a performance by their Olympians in training - The Flying Aces All-Stars (really amazing, if you ever get the chance I recommend it). A local camera store was teamed up and offering lens rentals for half off for the weekend. Well, I have a brand new D500 and rented the 80-400mm (FX) lens, just to challenge myself and see what I could come up with. One of the athletes has seen my photos - he is in some of them, and has contacted me through my Instagram email and with his official email has asked me what it would take for him to have some photos for personal use for his family as well as promotional/professional use (I can't remember the terms he used). I have launched a photography FB page, gotten myself a sales tax and business license because I'm going to have a booth in an upcoming, local Arts Festival. I know what I'm going to charge on my inventory for the festival, but what would seem reasonable and fair to both of us to charge for photo I've already taken of this nature. It seems clear he intends to pay something for it. I have to say, it was a blast working with the D500! I learned a lot that I would do differently next time. I understand this is tough to give advice on, but I remember a while back someone had sold a photo to a small magazine that he took of an airplane for $200 I believe and said it felt like a win/win. Wondering what you all think if I put some of the pictures that the freestyle skier is in on a thumb drive and sold it to him for $50? I would keep the copyright. Is there a link for a quick and simple contract? This has caught me off guard, I've spent all summer focused on my Arts Festival booth, which is definitely not sports action. I've just been taking baby steps as I'm contemplating trying to earn back some of the money I've invested in NAS. I'm not going to attach the photos here because when I down-sized them they didn't look very good, but here's a link to my FB page.
