Q: How much does a photographer make for their picture on the cover of Sports Illustrated? –Eric from St. Paul
A: Magazine covers and other photographs vary from magazine to magazine due to the size and circulation of the publication. For instance:
SI is read by 23 million adults each week.
These are the standard rates for magazines such as SI, ESPN: The Magazine, TIME, and other magazines of this caliber.
Full Cover $2000.
Leading Off (double-page spread or “Doubletruck”) $1000
One Page $500
1/4 of a page $150
These prices do vary depending on the photographer and if it’s an assignment for one of these magazines.
