CANCELLATION AND POSTPONEMENT

A booking is considered firm as from the date of confirmation and accordingly Phototraffic will charge 50% fee and 75% fee within 3 days for cancellation and postponement.

Here then is a guide to digital charges recommended by the NUJ, to create a transparent and open system that fairly rewards photographers for both their time and expertise, as well as one that informs buyers of photography what they should expect for their money.

Note: these charges are applicable only to editorial and PR photography for newspaper and magazines. Digital charges for medium to large format and studio work will be higher, especially where files are converted from RGB to CMYK, and proof prints are supplied.

The guide works through a typical digital photographer's workflow - from digital capture through to the presentation of processed files.

Work    Charge
Digital or inkjet contact sheets [3]    £20.00 per contact sheet
Processed digital image file* (or scan from film)    £15.00 per file
Bulk processing of digital files    £100.00 per hour for orders over 7 files (minimum fee one hour)
Burning files to CD    £10.00 per CD
Burning files to DVD    £20.00 per DVD
Digital Transmission    £20.00 for up to 10 images
Each further transmission after the first 10    £2.00 surcharge on each image
VAT is added at the standard rate where the photographer is VAT registered
Notes
1 A processed digital image file is a file that is cleaned, cropped and colour corrected for appropriate use in print or the Web, and captioned with IPTC information.

2 Photographers, particularly freelances, do not sell their images to clients - they "license" the use of the image for a specific purpose and time frame for an appropriate fee, and issue a simple licence agreement and Terms and Conditions in their delivery note. The licence, in conjunction with covering digital costs and the photographer's commission fee constitutes their "fee for the job", and can vary from job to job.

3 A contact sheet is in effect "the contents of the camera card", but is a preview for client choice and photographer processing - a legitimate and more transparent alternative to a "Dump and Run", as the client can choose how many files they need processing on an amount or cost basis, in consultation with the photographer)
