Pricing images for publications: Part Two
In the last blog entry, I explored a scenario where you (or me) would need to calculate the use fee for an image to be used in a publication.

Pricing images for publications: Part One
A friend/former student wrote me with a great question. He wrote: “I have an opportunity to license some images to a travel company for their brochures. I’ve never done this before and therefore I’d love to get your quick opinion of what the right price range should be. The email below is from the director of communications from the travel company.”
