If he was leaning forward and down, wouldn't the lighting be different? Morefrom behind him? Just a guess :)
Yeah - realised that when I switched my brain on shortly after posing.
Would a round £600 be good for 8 hours shooting plus 30 (max)photos? Just trying to get a rough figure...
The other thing I forgot to say is that the copyright should NOT be given away that cheaply. Yes - £600 for "use" but if you're giving away copyright and effectively granting a perpetual use license then you should be looking at more. I'll forward you a couple of emails I've come across from a mailing list about this.
3 of my Black Mass photos made it into the article on Satanism in this month's Metal Hammer, but without a credit or cash. Honestly I wouldn't have cared about the cash if they'd pimped my URL, but now that can't happen I'm wondering what to do. I'm trying to find a reasonable figure so I can multiply that by 3 and send them an invoice, as thats what other people have suggested. However, they ended up in the mag due to a middle man (the company one of my housemates works with) so I need to pursue that avenue before writing "threatening" legal letters ;)
Sucks. You should sign up for http://www.grassrootsx.com/ - there's loads of opportunities for good advice there - ask on the forums.
Based on reading that LJ link I'd suggest that a "negotiaion" is a good way forward. Get an idea in your head then call the picture editor.
