Cool! An ad agency wants to use this photo for a campaign they're doing. I have no idea how to react to that. I'm inclined to say, "sure!" but I think I'm just reacting to how nifty it is for someone random to ask to use my work.

Is there a little bit of $ involved? Or a percentage or something? Then, sure, say yes. It looks like a nice stock photo.

Actually, ask if they'd like more. Say you have photography friends you can refer them to with online portfolios. :>

(Talk about incentive for me to go through my photos... And for Sven to go take my tank photo! Use that D60, baby!)

They didn't offer money. Is it weird to ask for a percentage? Maybe I will.

Hey, that would be cool! I have lots of random stock photos. w00t!

Share the tank photo?

Oh yes, definitely ask for some sort of compensation (more catloaf?) srd January 3 2003, 13:32:10 UTC

check photo.net on publishing photos. IIRC, you usually make out a flat fee for the "buyer" to lease the photo for a certain number of exposures (prints in a magazine, exporsures in online ad banners etc) and/or a certain period of time in which the photo may be used.

I repeat: you lease. That way, if they want to use it some more, you get more money from them. If you actually _sell_ the photo (or just say "sure, go ahead"), what you get is what you get. And you give them all the rights to the photo (usually including the negative/slide).

Do yourself a favor and read up on the subject before forfeiting what may be a nice income on the side.

You should convince them to use the one of Rory in the box instead.

(nice picture though...)

It is a nice photo, what is the ad for though? Would you want your picture being used to advertise something you disagree with? And yeah, there is the money issue.

Point. I have no idea what the campaign is for. I don't care so much about the money, though it would be entertaining, but I really bristle at the thought of anything I did being used to advertise something I find (squ)icky.

My reaction would be to have them give me a fat wad of cash, but then, I'm a whore when it comes to my art.
