Negotiating is a crucial skill for anyone running a business, but they don't teach this art in photography school. The Photographer's Guide to Negotiating gives specific tips for negotiating assignment deals, digital and electronic rights, stock photography sales, contracts, purchases, and more. Interviews with an art buyer, a photographer, and a photographer's rep give photographers extra insight-and maybe even the upper hand in many negotiations. Everyone negotiates in everyday life. This book shows photographers how to take those skills and successfully apply them to business deals.

This review is from: The Photographer's Guide to Negotiating (Paperback)
...An essential read for any photographer who wants to be successful...I bought this book because John Harrington recommended it to me recently. I must say that it has changed the way I do business. I have found all of my negotiation "deal breakers" and I have walked away from several jobs only to have the client come back and agree to MY TERMS. My negotiation skills were mediorcre when I first started this book. Now when I am negotiating on the phone/email or in person I no longer feel unprepared. I would recommend this book to any photographer who wants to sharpen their negotiation skills. -David Paul Larson

By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Photographer's Guide to Negotiating (Paperback)
Every photographer needs to know how to negotiate to be successful in marketing their services and skills, but most photographer's guides focus on technique and marketing and devote only cursory attention to the finer art of negotiating prices and terms. That's why it's important to have The Photographer's Guide To Negotiating in hand for any business proposal: chapters review good negotiation traits and strategies, discuss issues on stock photo sales, contracts and assignments, and provide in-depth interviews with experienced negotiators.
