Hi Kuang
Thanks!
Actually the clients weren't even that sure themselves except to say it's mostly stock photography for that building's management/ owner and that they will definitely use it on their website. Pretty sure they will ask for all rights. They also said something around 20 usable images "should be okay".
As for the sports one, it's for the organization organizing the events and they want to keep it "for their own reference". I'm guessing it's to promote their atheletes/ members or use on website or newsletters or anything they want to use it for.
Did you say "perpetual rights for all markets and all mediums- $25 000 per image + costs" ?
it's quite futile in the sg marketplace cuz if u slap all these copyright stuffs onto ur client, they'll just go find another one who's not so 'fussy'.
plus there's no union or controlling body lobbying for the rights and such.
so it's back to dog eat dog world here. cheapest wins most of the time.
Generally, I find most companies i work with to be nervous about signing a photographer if they are not clear about rights and what the fees involve. i think there is light at the end of the tunnel
Let those who want the cheapo photogs make a fool of themselves
Sad to said this but there is always a cheapo and fool around the corner waiting to take the job.
Hey Juliet, perhaps if you let us know what the final usage is for because it can vary widely. Based on some of my own figures
ie editorial shot for web only for 6 months-$400 per image + costs
perpetual rights for all markets and all mediums- $25 000 per image + costs
most images would fall somewhere in between, so i think most photographers would need more detailed job and output description to be able to answer your questions accurately.

Mind sharing how many $25,000 interior images you have shot lately?
Say, design firm need portfolio of 2 houses done recently, probably 5 to 8 angles inteiors from each house, and of course at least 1 exterior shot, it will probably cost them a minimum of $175,000, notwithstanding your costs- whatever that means.
I think he's too busy to shoot, coz he seems to be running workshops or some courses now.
Does anyone know the rates for shooting architecture (actually more like nicer "premises" shots lah) and sports?
It it charged by per picture? If so, what is the range of charge?
