Thanks c Wed, 14 Jan 2009 16:58:46 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/gq-magazine Carlos it depends on what your shooting for them. Is it fashion or a reportage feature because they have different scales. I have shot stuff for GQ and other Conde Nast publications in the past and they usually have a good budget. Let me know what your shooting and I will give you an idea what to ask for. Mark Wed, 14 Jan 2009 14:32:13 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/gq-magazine#139262 Thanks Mark. It is a reportage, mostly portraits of a woman and husband. Wed, 14 Jan 2009 14:35:00 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/gq-magazine#139264 OK. Well for a reportage feature like that your unlikely to get a day rate from them. You can negotiate either an all in fee or by the page. For something like that I would suggest going for a all in fee. If your writing the piece than obviously add that into the equation. I would say something in the region of $750 US for a reportage over 2 pages add each additional page accordingly. If you need any contacts on GQ let me know. Regards Mark Wed, 14 Jan 2009 14:52:14 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/gq-magazine#139266 I've shot for Wired (a conde nast pub.) numerous times and their day rate was $500, if they wound up using more photos then a full page they would pay for those usages in addition. They were very liberal with expense's and paid travel days at 50% of day rate. It's been a couple years so who knows what may have changed since then.
