First *real* paid job

[MHD]

Out of the blue!
Just got a call from a Law student at college asking me to shoot the law competition on at university this saturday....
I was pretty generous, charging only an hourly rate and no retainer (they only want an hours shooting) so its not a big money venture but nice to get the business!

Now to go check out the venue...

and on the subject, does anyone use a contract/document to sign the pictures to the client, but not the copyright

Something that says: "You can use these images but you cant claim the copyright"
?

MHD,

(they only want an hours shooting)

Only shooting for an hour 20 shots then is an hour work.

I'm sure you could get the Law student to whip up a contract...but then again his hourly rate may be more than yours...

Congratulations on getting the job!!!

hehe... thats why I didnt whip up one of my own as I think it might look funny!

Yeah, I have told them to expect 10-15 PPed shots on CD. and I expect to get 20 (so they will be happy). I also asked for a shoot-list of about 10
I'm charging a rate that makes it worth my while being there (remember I am a student and it does not take much!)

Sounds like an interesting subject to shoot, basically mock trials in a judged competition....

[nodabs]

nice just make sure that you charge the same rate for your PS work as you do for the actual shooting

MHD,
Charge as much as you can, cos those guys will become a bastard liars and ripping off our citizen in the near future
And get enough monies to pay off your next lust.

don't worry birddog, as a law graduate myself i can assure you that only half the class will go on to practice law. the rest will go on to do MBAs and become merchant bankers

So how was Birddog wrong?
(Nothing against merchant bankers)
