A magazine has asked to use my photos.

Hey guys,

I have been asked by a magazine (Royal Wings, found on Royal Jordanian aircraft) to use some of my photos for an article they are writing. They have asked for a price list of my images, which I don't have yet.

What questions should I be asking them and what should I charge for this?

I am sure this has been covered some where in this thread but I am literally rushing out the door and was hoping to get a bit of information before I reply to their email.

Thanks for any help or advice you guys can offer.

If you want to sound like a professional you ask:

What is the intended use? What is the method of distribution? What is the target demographic of their publication? What is their ISBN distribution filing?

Now, the reality is, as a layperson you don't really care about most of that info but distribution will give you a clue to the importance of the publication and your images contained within. The higher the number the more you want.

Give us more details and more information might be forthcoming.

I was able to find a similar thread and asked them similar questions as to what you suggested. Their magazine has a print run of 25,000 and it is distributed as the in-flight magazine. They are interested in a 1/2 page photo to accompany an article on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Another thread had a nifty calculator for ball-parking charges based on use, etc which helped out a lot.

Thanks for the advice Angelo.

I have the exact same situation with a high end life style magazine in Israel with a circulation of 40,000.

Can you post the links to the posts you mentioned? They'll probably answer a lot of my questions.

Thanks.
