Page "Talent manager" Paragraph 10

Managers usually secure the services of a professional photographer while the artist is recording.

Different 8x10 pictures of the artist can be used for websites, CD labels / jackets, posters, and the press kit.

Cost for high quality shoots vary from $ 500 for a basic shoot to thousands for several looks.

Photographers are not expected to cover material cost.

It is important that the manager obtains an agreement upfront confirming license to use the images which will cover the uses necessary, in addition to high resolution digital images on CD.

Managers are also advised to have photographs taken before CD designs or artwork goes into production.

Managers are also responsible for hiring additional staff when necessary.
