The Business of Managing Models
I'm curious as to what Photographers think of the model scout business as a component of their photography business. I can't ever recall this being much of a topic amongst Photographers.

Macintosh Smith replied to Macintosh Smith's discussion What strategies should Photographers be acting on to sell-up from a request to produce free work?"I'd use the long dimension of 600 pixels @ 72dpi and often optimize the images using Image Ready.

Macintosh Smith replied to Macintosh Smith's discussion What strategies should Photographers be acting on to sell-up from a request to produce free work?"Don't under estimate the power of the watermark. I would agree that the layperson may get away with ignoring a © watermarked symbol for menial use, However, well established corporations will highly respect the © application.…"
CameraClicker replied to Macintosh Smith's discussion What strategies should Photographers be acting on to sell-up from a request to produce free work?"I think you will get more mileage out of low res files than watermarks. Depending on the watermark and image it may take seconds to minutes to get rid of it. It is no different than removing garbage and trimming the grass in an…"

CameraClicker replied to Macintosh Smith's discussion What strategies should Photographers be acting on to sell-up from a request to produce free work?"I work in a different industry. The sales folks go off about giving a discount so they can get their foot in the door. It hardly ever pans out. On the other hand, if you are a distributor or retailer in a business where a unit…"
Macintosh Smith replied to Macintosh Smith's discussion What strategies should Photographers be acting on to sell-up from a request to produce free work?"It's a very common industry practice to negotiate usage.
