The Photographer Mindset

Getting Paid Fairly & Licensing Your Images with Adam Coppola


Listen Later

Today's episode features Adam Coppola (@coppolaphotography) a professional commercial photographer from Connecticut. Aaron has referenced Adam a lot in previous episodes, especially the fact that he is a full blown professional with little focus or attention paid to social media. We highlight this fact so that listeners can zoom out and realize that social media is a tool and not the photography industry as a whole.

In this episode Adam shares how to price yourself so that you get paid fairly for your work and so that you avoid getting taken advantage of. We also explore licensing photos as opposed to only charging for the amount of time it took you to do the work. We discuss what you charge can be a sliding scale based on what your images will be used for and how much advertising dollars will be put behind pushing them.
