Ford Motor Co. wants to use my photograph!

[Speed]

Actually it was someone from J Walter Thompson. They want to use one of my outdoor photographs in an advertisement about scenic drives for Ford Motor Company. They found the photo on my website.

They are asking if they can obtain permission to use my photo. I've never sold the rights to use any of my photographs before so I'm not sure what to do or how much to charge. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'd like to get some money for it, but I'd love even more to have one of my photographs published in an advertisement.

It's been a while since I've posted here. I havn't picked up my camera in ages. I've been so busy putting together a new business, I probably won't touch it again for a while. Oh well, something to look forward to in the future.

Congratulations! That really rocks!

Like Seb said, be sure to get your money's worth. They've got deep pockets. ;-)

I'd be willing to have them print it for free, but as you say, they have deep pockets. I should get some compensation for it. I'll see what I can get.

can you squeeze a photo credit out of it as well? Congratulations!!!
