So, I got hired to shoot a historic house for a magazine (the magazine of a historical preservation non-profit). This is pretty random, since I don't ordinarilly do assignment work at all, but the price was right and the assignment seemed more or less within my abiliities. The money offered was decent, and the creative director has been easy to work with on getting me a contract (not signed yet) and licensing agreement, etc.
It's now the day before the shoot and he's sent me a new brief which includes instructions for the COVER of the magazine. He's making a big deal about it, since this issue will mark a relaunch and a new design.
Would it be normal that this would entail a renegotiation of the rate? The previous brief made no mention of a cover photo.
Checking the magazines stats on their site, they claim a readership of 350,000, and they charge $14,200 for an ad on the inside cover.
Any thoughts? I have a phone meeting with the creative director in an hour, so if anyone is reading this over their coffee and knows anything, please share!
