I have a meeting set up for monday with an emerging business organising mud/obstacle run events around the UK. So ive been brain storming in my head ways that i could offer services to them to cover the event.
I.E, dayrate, or proceeds of pics only, how many photographers would be required etc.
Has anyone on here covered any of these events before like Tough Mudder or Spartan race etc? and if so how did you charge for your services and did it work well?
Hopefully things go well on monday and i can come to an agreement with them over covering the event and get an idea of what there looking for, as i see it as a bit of an emerging sport/activity coming from the US and just getting its roots over here.
My current thinking is to offer a package consisting of..
Being able to keep copyright to all photos taken to advertise for sale after the event to all the participants.
Getting the company to advertise on their website putting the word out for where the pictures will be hosted (probably through my website)
And a fee for providing this service.
And providing access to all the pictures to the company themself for use for commercial and media.
Probably be looking to get another couple of togs on board to cover the day and give them the commission of sales also.
Maybe i should figure this out for myself rather than posting on here? I was just hoping to pick some brains as ive not really had much experience in covering a large event like this.
From what i can gather (ill get a bit more of an insight after running in the north west tough mudder tomorrow) there will be some more photo friendly obstacles than others so i think between 1-3 persons would be enough to get a good overall coverage of the event.
