I can tell you why the “frugal” Time cover written up in the previous post was such a bad harbinger for our industry. The going rate for a Time cover shoot—just the shoot, regardless of whether it was published or not—used to be $4,000 plus expenses. That was the flat fee—for Dirck Halstead, David Byrne, or even Andy Warhol. Of course, that doesn’t mean you couldn’t get as creative with your expenses as you could with the actual imagery!

AMERICANSUBURB X: THEORY: "Nobuyoshi Araki – Photographs to be Read"
An automatic camera with a date-imprinting function, a flood of words, silence and solitude – Araki manipulates all of these in every possible combination. Photography has never been a tool or medium for him. For twenty-five years he has been trying to confirm something within photography. Photography, for him, was neither a mere instrument nor a means towards an end; he has always only wanted to know if photography can depict substantial beings at all.

Legal Left, Meet Creative Right -Beyond Price | Luceo Images
What I do intend to do is to lay out a single principle around which a good negotiation should center and work backwards to describe how photographers can use their own creativity along with all the moving parts of a contract so that the final agreement isn’t disproportionately slanted in favor of the stronger party.

The Visual Science Lab: Sunday Rants and Opinions
Sunday Rants and Opinions
Austin, Texas Portrait Photographer’s Blog about Photography, Art and Writing by Kirk Tuck.
Not all prints fall into this category. It’s not that prints are magic just because they were printed in a darkroom. But prints that required work; required burning and dodging and blurring and diffusing (just in parts and just for short segments of the total time) were done with human hands and the inconsiderately inacccurate metronome of our minds and the swish of our hands. And no matter how hard we might try those prints are unique. And unique is what appeals to minds that are inundated with perfectly manufactured everything.

Iwan Baan, Architecture Photographer – NYTimes.com
Structural Integrity and People, Too
Chilly perfection is traded for humanity in Iwan Baan’s architectural photographs.

Just five years after he took up architectural photography, Mr. Baan is “remaking the genre,” said Charles Renfro, a partner in Diller Scofidio & Renfro, for whom he has photographed projects like the High Line and the renovated Lincoln Center.

Thoughts of a Bohemian » Save the environment
Don’t blame the others for the mess we are in and instead of digging your nose in your smart phone and tweetering some crap no one cares about, take control and preserve the space in which you live. Limit yourself. Redo your edits, over and over. And when you are done, do it over. Eliminate, reduce, clean. Pick the 5 best images. not 500. or 5,000.

I’m so excited about a great new column I’m kicking off today called “Ask Anything.” Former Art Buyers and current photography consultants Amanda Sosa Stone and Suzanne Sease have agreed to take anonymous questions from photographers and not only give their expert advice but put it out to a wide range of photographers, reps and art buyers to gather a variety of opinions. The goal with this column is to explore more of the commercial side of photography (not my area of expertise) and to solicit honest questions and answers through anonymity.

LBJ Museum takes a rare look at the men who chronicled the intimate details of the office
Try to get a job as official White House photographer. You’ll pretty much eat history for breakfast, lunch and dinner. You are there with one of the most powerful people in the world as much as he lets you.
But it’s a strange gig. You’re not so much a journalist as a real-time archivist — many of your images won’t see the light of day until after the president you are photographing has left office.
