MBP-Podcast Episode #07 : Don't give away your art!
A somewhat controversial subject, but this week I talk about the need to protect yourself and photography as a profession, by learning how to negotiate and stick with negotiation to get your price.
It's incredibly tempting to give your work up for free, especially when you think of the amount of publicity you'd be passing up, but if you don't pass it up, you'll be doing nothing more than helping to knock the bottom out of the very market from which you may one day hope to making a living.
I've created a page on my site called Recommended Reading, and started with a few titles on pricing photography, invoices and contracts. The page can be found here: http://www.martinbaileyphotography.com/reading.php
