I recently uploaded some images on Photgraphers Direct and today I got a request to use one of my images. The only problem is that I have no idea what to ask as a far price for its usage. This is how they plan on using it:
âIt is being used inside a character "T" for a non-profit brochure for the Citizen's Research Council to help people become more aware of what their government is up to. It is one of 5 letters spelling out TRUTH. Size of the letter that is masking is 2x4. Run is current at about 1500 in the english language, for Lansing Michigan voters.â
And the image: //www.photographersdirect.com/sellers/libraryimage.cgi?imageid=560080&sourceid=15890
I have tried the stock photo price calculator (//photographersindex.com/stockprice.htm) and it was little help. If there is anyone out there that could offer some advice I would greatly appreciate it.

PD has a "stock price calculator". Look on YOUR homepage with them for the link to it.
Oh, sorry, missed the last line of your post. (thought signature). The calculator should give you the best idea, its what I would use. (have used it before, for private jobs)

I usually try to give good rates to non-profits. A print run of 1500 is not big.
I will often list a high price, and then give them a steep "non-profit discount" -- this also may (or may not) allow you to list a charitable deduction on your taxes.
If it were my photo (I wish!) I'd probably list it on the invoice for maybe $100 -- with a license for up to 3000 copies so they can reprint it once -- and then give them a 80% discount to $20; a photo credit would be a bonus.
But then, I'm known for under-pricing things ... : ( |

| I tried the calculator, but there are not any categories that really match what the image is going to be used for, so it really didnât offer any help. |

Dont mistake non-profit for charity. It sounds like a political group not a charity. Having said that 1500 isn't many I would think $100 would be on the high end. but what do I know.

edit: start off at $100 and then they should give you an idea what they were thinking. You can come down after you start but you can't go up.

Non-profits usually have some cash to spend. On PD they usually say how much they are going to pay in the beginning if ti was a request. Use the stock calculator, but $100-$150 sounds fair.
