Click on the link below to get access to a description of the Modified Rights Ready Pricing model that I am proposing. In my opinion there are serious flaws in all the existing stock photography pricing models - Rights Managed, Rights Ready, Royalty Free, Microstock and Subscription. The one that comes the closest to solving customer complaints in today's market and still provides reasonable compensation for the image creator is the relatively new Rights Ready model instituted by Getty Images. I am proposing a slightly different strategy using this model as a base and I call it Modified Rights Ready (MRR).

Modified Rights Ready (MRR)

The 58 page booklet starts out by discussing nine issues that must be considered before attempting to price usages. In Chapter 2 I describe the model in detail along with some sample prices for various uses. (Each user should feel free to adjust the prices for each category of usage as their market dictates.) In Chapter 3 I have outlined why this method of pricing will benefit both RM and RF sellers.
