I received an email from a company in Russia that wants to use one of my signature photos in a catalog. He said it might even possibly be on the cover. He said it would only be distributed in Russia. He said 1,000 - 1,500 copies, which isn't a huge distribution, but I have no idea what to charge. I can tell by his email that he probably used a translator. Has anyone ever dealt with foreign currency? I have the model release, but would consider paying her parents, since her face is recognizable. I'm really at a loss. The last time I had an image used for commercial use, it was a flower photo on the cover of a laundry detergent label, and it was so small, and barely recognizable. This is a completely different scenario. Any ideas?

Judy, I would find out what sort of catalog it is before I would agree to anything.

Just ask the for 1500 fifteen hundred U.S. Dollars to use the photo for 12 months on their named publication, with no authority to sell the photo to others, lease it or give any rights to others to use it, without your written consent.

He said I would get full credit as it were, but I don't know the timeline yet. I wrote him back with some questions. The company is legit and this might possibly be for an oil and gas brochure from what I could tell with a link he sent me in Russian (which was translated with a lot of font jibberish too). He also said I would get a copy of it, once it was completed. He found the image on DPC as well as on 1X.

Two and a quarter million is a bit steep for a photograph...

I'd ask for a few sample copies of the catalog too.

Make sure to get a "Ready to Print" hard copy in hand first..

I threw 1500.00 at him. I guess we'll see if it sticks. I said I'd like a proof of the page before it goes to final print.

Demand a barrel of vodka, a bear, and one of the kick-dancers !
