6. GETTING THE CASH
The amount of cash that you make for a picture will depend on the type of picture you are taking and the picture quality. The popularity of the celebrity will also help determine the price a magazine will pay for a picture. Most tabloids adjust their pay on a similar scale. The tabloids will look for five basic elements before pitching a price. They will look at who the celebrity is, if the photo is genuine, what the star is doing in the picture, the picture quality, and the availability of the picture to other tabloids.

When you get a good picture of a celebrity, offer the image to multiple tabloid magazines. This way, you can earn more money for the work youve done.
