If you are the artist or a non-profit or educational institution, I'll most likely grant you use of the image free of charge. If you are a for-profit organization or publication, I will ask for a nominal fee. I hope this is understood as simply a standard professional practice, and not greed. I believe in retaining the integrity of photography in print, and feel that freebie journalism detracts from the integrity of the narratives that publications have the duty to provide to the general public. There are always exceptions, but they are exceptionally few and far between.
Ok, diatribe over. Really, I'm nice.
