How is usage fee priced? I didnt see anything in the video.
Example:
1 year internet use or
3months print in UK and EU, or
6months print worldwide
There are many permutations.
Hi, the usage fees are based on what a client tells you the usage will be and you need to put in a Base Usage Rate that vary’s depending on what you want to set it at but often it is between 50% – 100% of the photographers day rate.
