Cost of Author Headshots

A typical headshot that someone would use online runs at $195 on a simple backdrop. On-location headshots run at $299. For an author, there is a bit of a price difference as the photo can be used over and over and over again. Some companies will set a licensing agreement with the publishing house or broad non-exclusive rights to the picture (worldwide, all languages, life of work, etc.. It all depends on the size of the project, the type of publishing house, and the reach of the book that dictates the price. For well-known authors, a single usage fee might apply, and in some cases, they might want the exclusive right to reproduce and use the photo.
