I was shooting a car show today. The first car that I saw was a 1957 Belair and I was shooting a picture of the front grill. About one minute in someone came up and gave me his card and said that if I e-mail him a copy of the picture he would buy it. Here are my questions:

1. Is the copyright that I put on the picture big enough or too big for the original e-mail? Of course I will take it off if he buys it.

2. Should I give him the original and have him get it printed to size or should I print it through who I want?

Anything else?

This is what I would send to him.

Thanks!



Oh, I don't think it is the best picture. I have much better ones, but the guy said that he specifically liked this angle and that is what I had to work with.

2. Should I give him the original and have him get it printed to size or should I print it through who I want? You need to ask him what he plans on doing with it. Is he just going to make a print to hang in his garage or house, or does he plan on selling it for stock photos or entering into a photo contest & using it as his own? Lots of what if's there. You need to be paid & credited for your work.

Anything else?

Do you happen to know of a good online pricing guide? I used to have it bookmarked, but I don't have it anymore.

Here is the other I offered him:


If it was only shaper at the top of the fin...

Sorry about no replies...frankly, I don't know the answer to the quesiton.  It seems okay to me, but I don't know anything about how big the copyright should be.

The copyright looks OK to me.

Don't be frustrated yet. In my experience, people are VERY slow in actually ordering photos.

I've had people FINALLY put there orders in more than a year later.

As for the print/file issue, I generally prefer to sell prints, but depending on the use and the person sometimes I will provide a file... although the file is generally priced much more than a print would be.
