Photography Question 

Jennifer Brooke Chao
 

Slightly different photo licensing situation...


 
 
I am a art photographer, and have done absolutely no commercial photography, to date. However, I just had someone who owns a small catering company request to use one of my images as branding for her company. (I've attached the image, just so you know what we're talking about)

She isn't asking me to take it out of production for art shows, print sales or contest entries, but does want to make sure no other catering company or restaurant will be given rights to use it for their branding.

This doesn't seem to be *exclusive* rights, nor one-time-use for publication. I'm not sure what this qualifies for, and have absolutely no idea what to charge. A friend suggested between $500-$1500.

Seeing as she's a small business owner (owns a tiny pancake cafe and then the catering company), I wouldn't think she'd be open to $1500, but really, she is asking quite a lot. I'd have to give her a full-sized digital file, which means giving up a LOT of control.

And I have absolutely no clue about how to write up the licensing agreement.
