Christian Photographers Community

I've been contacted[by voice-mail] by a local artist who wants to paint one of my images.  I'm not sure if he intends to sell the print or not, but when I call him back I'll be sure to ask.

My question is, what's the normal fee for something like that?

I'm clueless when it comes to something like this.  Help!!!

Thanks in advance,
Scott

That is really cool!!! I've seen your galleries-very nice....

That is a good answer juanital, I don't have any better an answer....one person who might know a bit more would be Kathleen, or shutterbugmom. 

Thank you both for your reply.

Thanks for the links as well.  I'll check them out.  I googled it earlier, but haven't come up with anything yet.  I'm not quite sure how to phrase it.  Not to mention information overload 

Thanks again! 

You might also try Photography Cafe. There are a lot of experienced photographers there.

Isn't it exciting and flattering that someone wants to use your art in this way?   Congratulations!

I would think that minimally, they would need to purchase the print they are wanting to use.  Then, depending on what they intend to do with it and whether or not they will sell actual paintings or prints of the painted rendition of it, you would need to charge further or barter for a painting for yourself.  I would probably charge either a flat fee, if they were going to profit off the painting, or a percentage of future sales of their paintings.  Which ever you decide, be sure you have a contract with all the details and what's expected and have both parties sign the agreement.   

I had an artist draw one of my images and he purchased the print and I will get a print of the drawing when it's finished.  That was my daughter's beau though, so it's a little different senario. 

That's my advice (IMHO) for what it's worth.

Thank you Kathleen.
