Hi all.
Recently did shoot for magazine. It was a portrait of someone. At the end of the shoot they asked if they could purchase the photos and I told them I'd just send them to them (as I've done in the past). I have a feeling thats looked down upon by other photographers (not sure) but I never minded doing that for people because I figured I'm already getting paid from someone else to be there. And its not like its my "art" photographs which I generally never give away (only in rare specific situations).
However, this person emailed me and insisted they'd pay for the photos (I believe they will only be purchasing 1 or 2 high res).
So two questions here: 1.) Should I be charging people for photos of themselves that I shot for a magazine? 2.) If that answer is yes, how much should I charge for say one or two high res files?
Thank you for any insight offered
