Selling a photo to a magazine ...

Post by Andries »

I just got an email from an assistant-editor of an airliner magazine which sells around 35,000 copies of every issue. They requested the use of one of my images on Airliners.net to be published in 'the latest news' section.

They offered me $10 (ten US dollars) + a copy of the magazine ...

Any thoughts ???

Greetz,

Andries,

Thats a pretty standard payment, most mags work the same principal, some may pay 15 for that ultimate photo taken in Eritrea ;-)

For such magazines it's the usual amount you'd get for a picture. I'd go for it if I were you. BTW congrats for the sale :-)

I declined. $10 results in 7€ which is nothing. Air International gave me £20, whoch is about 30€, thats worth the sale. But for 7€'s ... No thanks

Pfuh, did you really expect 30€ for a picture? You're not the only one in the world to have a similar picture of the same plane under your name... they will surely find another one, and you lost 7€... nothing as you said, but better than 0€...
