General Questions
Who owns the images after the shoot?
All of my work is intellectual property and is registered with the US Copyright office. I retain copyright to all images both still and video. Images and video are licensed to specific clients for a specific use and duration.
Is there a standard usage license for the building industry included with your fee?
My standard license includes the following rights: Editorial, Trade Show Display, Corporate Collateral, Website, Social Media (photo credit required), Award Submissions, Trade Publications and Wall Display.
How do I license images you created for another client?
Just send me an email with some project details and specifics about the image(s) you want and I'll send you an invoice, licensing info and link to the images.
Can I share the images I licensed with others, like subcontractors for them to use?
Third-Party usage is not included with our Standard license. Any other parties who would like to use the images must obtain a usage license from me in order to avoid Copyright infringement.
Can I post the licensed photos on social media?
Definitely! I want you to get as much reach for your project as possible. Social Media use is included in my standard usage license. I simply require a photo credit on all social media posts: @TravisRowanMedia
Pricing
What are your rates?
I operate based on two basic fees: Creative Fee and Post Production Fees
What is cost sharing?
Cost sharing is the best way to maximize the production of a shoot and lower your cost. In many of my architectural projects there are several additional parties that could benefit from the images: Architects, Designers, Landscape Architects, Builders, Engineers, Furniture Designers, Real Estate Brokerages, Subcontractors etc. I charge a licensing fee for each additional party, then divide the total fee by the number of parties involved. This results in a huge savings for each client.
Do you offer half-day rates?
Loading equipment, traveling to/from the project, unloading, setting up gear, setting up the shots, breakdown of gear, unloading back at the studio and downloading the images doesn't leave time to schedule another project in a day. What I can do is to photograph multiple locations for a single client in a day if the projects are within close proximity to each other.
Do you offer discount rates?
The best way to lower the cost of production is to use the Cost Sharing model highlighted above. The more parties you can get involved in the shoot, the cheaper it is for everyone.
