How We Charge
We understand that marketing campaigns come in all shapes and sizes and therefore charging a flat rate can create expensive fees.
All final images purchased in a commercial package automatically include a Standard Usage License for Business. This gives business owners the right to use their portraits in all kinds of marketing and outreach scenarios.
If you intend to put your images on something that you’ll make money from, or that will give you bigger exposure, then in order to cover those creative rights an Extended Commercial License needs to be purchased.
Just like a music service (such as Pandora) when you pay a prescription fee, that money goes toward the artists. Essentially, you are paying for the license to hear that music commercial free. But you don’t own the music, you can’t download it and resell it.
Purchasing the copyright of an image is a lot more expensive, and licensing helps so you only pay for what you need. I can tailor an extended licensing agreement so it fits your needs so you aren’t paying for anything you will not be using.
It’s important to me that my clients are able to accomplish everything they need with their images with minimal complication and at a price that meets their budget. The charge of an extended license depends on your final production and marketing costs in which the images are being used. A custom agreement will be written between Gina Cinardo of Ginici Studios and the Client. Ginici Studios utilizes a sliding scale when determining rates.
