[QUOTE="Porkibear, post: 336609, member: 22251"] Hi fellow Nikonites, was wondering if I could get some advice here. I have a co-worker whose wife owns a framing business. (I'm not a professional photographer) My co-worker saw some of my photos and wanted to get me to take photos for his wife's business. She typically sells art prints which are mounted on her custom framing. A lot of her clients are interior designers who decorate homes for homeowners as well as home builders. She currently purchases photos which are already printed from the east coast, then shipped to her on the west coast. Now she has her own large format printer and would like to purchase some of my photos, which she would then print, mount, frame and then sell to her clients. I've done some research online, but can't really correlate the business strategies I've found with this specific situation. How am I supposed to charge for my photos or services? She wants me to take macro shots of specific objects. Once she approves of the work, she would purchase the digital original from me since I do not have printing capabilities. Am I selling her exclusive rights to these photos? Do I keep a watermark on my photos? I'm just not sure where to start with all this because I only (so far) do photography as a hobby. Any advice is appreciated! [/QUOTE]
