Comic: Willingness to Pay Through the History of Photography wtd mini

Here’s a humorous What The Duck comic that perfectly captures the general public’s perception of photography. Soon photographers will be paying clients to make pictures.

    Actually I get asked frequently “How much do I get if you sell the pictures?”

    I was talking to a girl who actually thought photographers should have to pay people to take their picture as “they could do it themselves” I didn’t respond as I didn’t want to sa what I was thinking…

    I’m guilty of paying girls to pose for me. Of course, they have to know how to model, be buck nekkid and smokin’ hot. Most clients wouldn’t qualify.

    Well, that’s only fair if you’re actually gonna sell any of the photos, isn’t it? Or does this whole whining about not getting paid not apply to models?

    I think they’re exactly right. It’s questionable wether they should get paid when you sell a picture they’ve asked you to take of them..

    but

    The should definitely get paid according to the use (time, territory, type of use…advertising etc) of an image you sell. When they’re asked to sing a model release is when they can negotiate their fee. It’s entirely appropriate that a person is compensated for the use of their likeness when it endorses a brand or product.
