Just wondering what everyone's thoughts are regarding what needs to be done for selling the use of a few of my images for use in a book.
This is the situation. I've been approached by a publisher of a book about local wrecks. The book was originally published about 25 years ago (I think). Anyhow, they are in the process of updating the book and they saw some of my photos showcased on their maritime association's website.
Anyhow, since they are a commercial venture, I was wondering how one arrives to a fair price for the photos (they want to use 3 of them), and as well, what sort of documents or agreements need to be signed.
One of the shots features a pose of a friend of mine along side the stern of the wreck, which I presume a release must be signed by her.
Is there anything else? Should I make them agree to use the use of the image only for this edition of the book? Am I missing anything important?
