    $500 dollar for 1 pic ..WTF

    Has mainstream gone berserk...$500 bucks for 1 pic of a non -nude girl for a period of 3 years

    and that for "website only" use..wait till you want to use it on brochures

    You get an exclusive hardcore set for that kind of money,,either this biz is too cheap of mainstream has really lost it...

      they will charge you through the nose on anything mainstream these days, for a reprint license for a small time newspaper article, we were looking at $2k for one publication, and it was from a local paper!

          It also could be a mistake. Because i dont think anyone is actually going to pay that much. Maybe $5.00 per pic

            Nop mainsteam have actually way higher costs for liscences etc...

            Especially for logo designs (you pay a fee everytime it gets printed) .

                But 500 $ is way over priced .

                But the content in mainsteam is way more expensive (photography) then in porno .

                    yeah big stock photo agencies charge an arm and a leg for using their photos.

                    but there are lots of cheap royalty free stock photo CD's and places where u can license an image fairly reasonably.

                    check out http://www.hemera.com u can pay them a monthly subscription, like 20 bucks, and have access to their library of stock images.

                    lots of designers in this biz put some pretty big companies at risk for lawsuits by using mainstream stock photography taken from very big stock agencies like Corbis and Getty.

                            Every year a new edition of Photographers Market Guide comes out with what all the publishers pay for photographs. This is just stock stuff of nature, glamour, food, animals, whatever.

                            Custom photo for an ad for a national magazine or billboard campaign will bring the photographer $5-10,000 for that one photo.

                              I guess the market conditions will dictate how much they can get...bad for us if the rates ever go that high, good for the model

                                  nope..you can't order online..you have to get a quote by calling them

                                  and this was indeed cheap..1/8 of a page, for web and non-exclusive

                                  wait till you need to pay the price for an exclusive A3 print..time for a secondmortage

                                  and they (corbis that is) are even cheaper then gettyimages BRRRrrrr

                                      In case you guys didn't notice, stock photography is a HUGE mainstream business and a total ripoff and thats why BILL GATES just bought one of the biggest stock photography companies.

                                                  I have a client for whom we had to develop an ad campaign. Golf related, we need about 10 high res gold course, gold dude and gold dudette pics. Went to different sites, THEY ARE ALL CRAZY !!!! 200 to $800 per picture.
                                                  Those people are totally out of their mind.
                                                  We found some guy who had a 6.4MP digital camera and he shot 50 pics for $300
                                                  ...
