Stock Photography for the Hunting and Fishing Industry
Submission and Pricing

Welcome to George Barnett Photography. If you are visiting this specific web page, we will assume you are interested in the possible usage of one or more images. First off, we do not "sell pictures" and we are not in the "print business". Submissions of our Photographs for Licensing are only made to businesses and publishers interested in reviewing our work for possible purchase and publication. By reading this page, you will be better prepared to discuss your specific needs as a potential client of George Barnett Photography. It does not cover every issue and does not contain a list of prices for the unlimited types of usages that might occur. In most cases, the final negotiated usage and terms are unique to each client, so, it is virtually impossible to pre-print a list and say "here is what it will cost".

We License Rights to use a specific image for a specif ic type of usage or application. Image usage is, simply stated, how or where the image will be applied. A usage could be a catalog cover, or it could be packaging, or illustration for a web site. Or, it could be all three of these. As a general guideline, the higher quality images used in high exposure applications will cost more money. Lower quality images in limited exposure markets cost less. The client obtains a Licensing Contract and is granted a Copyright Release once payment has been made or payment provisions are agreed upon.

As a guide and reference point, we use pricing software that provides high, low and average costs of images licensed for specific usages within the marketplace. We will give the client all of this information during our negotiations. We also use our professional judgement and our past experience in pricing images for nearly 20 years in the outdoor industry and other related fields. The combination of these three factors; hard data, judgement and past experience guide us in our negotiations with clients.

Rights licensed may be for one specific usage or for multiple usages. They can be annual or ongoing, exclusive or non-exclusive, however, the client is never purchasing the image itself or the copyright to the image. Those always remain the property of George Barnett Photography, with the rare exception of a complete buy-out of the image. Aside from the normal editorial usages, magazine advertising, point of purchase advertising, calendars, books and product packaging, we have licensed images for board games, video games, trade show displays, billboards, glassware, mousepads, credit cards, converted them to logos and have even had some rendered to paintings, rugs and throws.

Other details are important as well. For catalogs, brochures, and other print applications, we need to know the size of the print run and whether the usage is a cover or an inside usage. The size of the usage may also be a factor, as well as the time span for the usage. In cases where multiple usages will occur, multiple rights packages will be arranged with the client. Discounts will be offered if multiple images are a part of the package. Discounts are also offered for annual renewals and return business. When budgets are limited, so normally are the rights purchased. However, we will always leave an option open to the client to license additional rights at normal market prices should the need and additional funding arise.

Our goal at George Barnett Photography is to create and provide the very best high quality images that bring your advertising ideas to life and customers to your product. Never underestimate the power of effective, high quality photography in your marketing and advertising efforts. Nothing turns a customer away faster than poor visual effects, even when the product itself is good. Nothing garners attention faster then great photography surrounding your product. Our primary objective is to place quality images into the hands of our valued clients at a fair market value. For a list of some of our current and past clientelle, please visit our home page.

We look forward to working closely with you as a potential client and welcome your questions and responses. Please feel free to contact us at ghb@airmail.net.
