Ok -- So I normally charge 75/hr sitting fee and then per photo prices
But I have someone wanting head shots for her web page and for any other web presences.
Since my money comes from purchase of prints, I'm not sure what to charge for this. I can't see charging a huge amounts, but I don't want to give her the file so she can print whatever she wants.
Do I charge a large amount and she can have the files?
Smaller amount and she gets low res, smaller, web-sized file?
What would you charge for it?
(She's coming at 2:00pm, btw. So it's not like there's a lot of pressure here!!) |

I think the proper answer is, what do you NEED to charge. Figure out what your time is worth, and how much time you'll need to spend on this. Then bill accordingly.
I'd say charge regular rate for sitting, then simply require that she pays for processing instead of prints.
ETA: Skip has a better plan.

charge the normal sitting fee.
after that, you're charging for usage. for commercial usage - website, social media, business card - charge $150 for a one-year license, $250 for a two-year license.
what is a license?
[so-and-so] has permission to use [image-file-name] on any website under [his/her] control for a period of [how long]. This image may also be used on business cards for [so-and-so]. This image may also be published with editorial content developed by [his/her] company. For any additional usages, please contact [your name] to obtain the appropriate licensing. Third-party publishers must obtain their own license from [your name], or be considered in copyright violation. |

I would say exactly what Skip said Wendy. And it seems the license part can still be brought up later today when you do the shoot.
To date, I have not followed the above example (bad!) and though it may get me about as much money up front ($150 setup fee+ $100 per hour shooting) it doesn't bring in continued revenue down the road- unless they want a whole new shoot done. My hourly rate will likely go up soon (big expensive city), but I will be doing the licensing for specific durations as well. |

Would this include third party uses like using the image on LinkedIn, or professional organization web sites? What is considered a third party publisher? |

i was writing in a rush (bad habit). usage on LinkedIn and other social media type sites would be included under the things you can do.
third-party publishers are any other content publishers. for example, i recently covered an event for a client. a magazine went to my client, wanting a photo of someone that was at the event because they were writing an article about this person but didn't have any recent photos. my client directed the magazine to me. of course they wanted the image for free (and of course they would give me credit). i explained that my client was free to send them the image along with an article produced by my client, but if the magazine was producing/creating/writing the content, they would have to pay, just as if they had hired me to shoot in the first place. they didn't like that, but when they found there really wasn't any other available images, they decided to go on and license the image from me.
essentially a third-party publisher is anyone other than the client that wants to use the image to their benefit, excepting situations where the client has produced editorial content (such as press releases and the like). |
