Furnish accurate caption information
This brings up an important point about identi fications in captions and copy for your photos . Always make certain you have individuals , loca tions , products , etc. , properly and accurately identi fied . Always furnish the information even though it may not always be used ; it is professional prac tice to supply it . A few additional minutes spent getting the data will be well worthwhile .
Some clients make a strong point about identi fications . Plastics World , 270 St. Paul St. , Denver , Colo . 80206 states , " Must identify plastics material , names of supplier , processor , fabricator and manu facturer of the end - product . " Dynamic Maturity , 215 Long Beach Blvd. , Long Beach , Calif . 90802 says , " Make certain that pictures are identified as to subject matter , location , date , etc. " while Horti culture , 300 Massachusetts Ave. , Boston , Mass . 02115 has more specific needs in that " Subjects
( garden and allied fields ) must be scientifically or otherwise correctly identified " !
The specific requirements of each market must be recognized by the freelance photographer . They are what makes one magazine or market different from the next or different from their competitor . So , the freelancer who determines those needs from inquiry , personal contact and study will be more successful than his competitor who uses scattershot tactics in making photo and picture story submissions .
Photo markets are everywhere
Photo markets are everywhere for you to explore and service . Set up an activity schedule for your self so that you will be working purposefully to produce marketable material for them and your sideline or full - time photographic income will increase accordingly .
With most freelance markets , payment rates are usually " fixed " by the market . There are various factors which determine the payment rates - type -of market , size of market or circulation of the pub lication , what rights are sold / bought , etc.
Some markets have a flat rate based on a package of a set of pictures , a per picture rate or a pub lished page rate . The latter rate would include both pictures and text where both story and photos are furnished from one source .
House organs usually have a flat rate a bit on the low side - but , they usually are not concerned about first rights or exclusive rights so you can sell the same story or pictures to other markets so long as they are not competitive . By selling the same " package " a number of times , profits can be greater than with a set of shots sold just once to a big , consumer - type magazine .
Those publications having large circulations in six and seven figures , naturally , pay higher rates for material . But , they can only buy so much material and competition is great . The greener fields are to be found a notch or two lower than with the big name markets . There are more mark ets to be sold and their need for material is greater . Start with them and build for your future .
