What is the image?

People happily pay £50 for a print to hang on the wall, so why not £20 for a digital download?

It's a struggle being an artist.... ;)

So would I if the photo was of an 'artist standard' ;)

I paid £90 to be filmed jumping out of a plane at 15,000 ft, plus tons of photos from the day. I cannot justify £20 for one picture and I don't know how they can! :O providing there were around 8000 people present!

Plus, it will be lower quality from screenshotting so I suppose it makes me feel better lol...

Saying that, I may just fork out for it if im honest, got a feeling the quality loss may be worth it. But come on, there's like 9 photos I want :(

Ah yes I see your problem....Those kind of event photos are always on the pricey side as you are subsidising their entire operation....

The trouble is, they know you want them so they have you over a barrel....They normally do some kind of bundle deal where you get X number of photos for £X....

Failing that, if you really want them, find out someone that works there and see if you can get a cash deal... ;)
 
I'm glad people understand!

It's just so hard to hand over money for this...though it's tempting and they know it, they know full well they were our only hope of photos due to having nothing on us.

I know why it's so expensive, it's pretty s***.

I hope that's sarcastic..

Have you got a link so we can see what sort of image it is, and what sort of organised jump it is?

I'd hate for you to be asking for watermark removal on a charity jump where some of the image revenue goes back to the charity. That would be a bit like asking for help in a puppy-kicking competition.

man....I didn't even mean for the jump.

I was using the jump as a comparison to show how expensive these pictures are.

I have already done the jump and paid the fee..was a comparison
 
Sorry, misread that, thought the photos were of the jump.

Then I go back and see you're complaining about a download of ten images for £20. Or £2 per image, although there may only be one you want. For a digital image download that's insultingly cheap to complain about given that it's a fire and forget sale and you won't be going back for prints.

Man up and pay. Don't begrudge someone else a living. I'd charge at least £20 for a print, and much more for a high res file.
