"This sale happened a few days after the previous one. This was for Industrial Media Worx in Newcastle, NSW. This slide and the next one (98160) (35mm) were to be blended together in a folder for a farming group in central NSW. 1000 copies, inside. They wanted digital but managed to persuade them to accept the original slides. Charged them AUD$150/slide. The original reply was that the scans they did were okay, after several months delay I contacted them and they admitted that their scans were not as good as they had planned!! so can they keep them longer! Payment was also slow in coming!! but very nice people!!!"

"This one's quite an interesting and unique sale, I think. A professional expat dentist in America is using my Australian images in presentations he delivers on the lecture circuit across North America. I've provided a contract, and for US$1500 he can use any Australian image from my library in any of his electronic presentation for a period of 12 months. I've set up a lightbox of just the Ausralian images; he select the ones he wants when he needs them; I format them for display size and resolution and then email them to him. The arrangement seems to work well."

Steven Nowakowski

"I have posted this image because it was one of my mistakes. It was the first time I had been contacted through Ozimages for an assignment. I don't know how many other members were contacted but I know at least one and his quote was $A200.00 more than mine. The magazine was a low circulating trade mag in the USA. I told them my rates for portraiture ranged from $A350-$650 depending on usage. They told me they wanted it for the cover and the mag circulated 16,000. I billed them $US450.00 but it should have been $US650.00. I basically charged for the photography and not having to deal with an unknown client having problems with FTP uploads etc. etc. It was a lesson! We all make mistakes and yes I got the job and covered costs and as there was very little in it for me I thought I should share the story so that we could all learn from it. It is a constant battle of vigilance not to undervalue your time and your work. Here endeth the lesson!"

"A U.S. client contacted me regarding lifestyle images of ITALY for use in restaurants across the country. The shots had to be non-touristy and supplied on CD as well as sepia-toned prints. This did present a initial challenge since there are several methods for producing successful inkjet-based sepia toned prints. I ended up using a duotone (tritone) based workflow through Photoshop and the (printed) results were stunning. I've recently completed the first order (seven images; 35 prints; one CD) of what I hope to be many to come."

Sent on CD due to large (5MB) file. Hint: check out what has gone through your price request list before quoting.

"Last week I was asked to give a quote for an Aboriginal photograph of mine, Image No. 40405. The client being AAT King Travel (Australia) was happy with my quote of $145AUD for two prints at 30cm x 30cm to be used at a trade fair. Unfortunately, I didn't have a 'Model Release' for this particular photograph so I lost the sale. Therefore, it goes to show that if you can get Model Releases for your shots you'll have a better chance of having saleable images."

Being away from my computer I was able to use a Internet Cafe to load up a lightbox of relevent images using Ozimages. I therefore submitted a portfolio of images to the client via Ozimages.
