View Full Version : First image printed in a newspaper and the offer of some freelance work!

I've managed to get a shot I took at the weekend published in two local weekly newspapers, one even had it front page! The national daily's covered the story but had their own photographers present! Basically, a guy I know lost a bet and dressed up as a leprechaun and sung Danny Boy at Carluke Cross and raised a bit of cash for cancer research!

I've been speaking to the photographer at one of the papers and he's asked me if I'd be interested in a bit of freelance work for the paper! I'm going to meet him to discuss it, I see it as being great experience. I have no idea what to charge for images though, can anyone give any advice on this? I don't want to do it too cheaply, but I know that the local papers don't pay much! I'm more interested in getting the experience and maybe some cash for new equipment, rather than making huge amounts of money!

Cheers

Dave
