Question 15

How do you normally charge for your service?

Accepted Answer

Most professional photographers like myself meticulously sit down with pen and paper and work out an hourly rate taken into consideration general advertising cost, insurances, Membership fees, investing and updating in camera equipment, office administration, CPD continuing professional development regularly attending photography workshops business and educational events.  I am not the cheapest but do put a lot of work into my photography always giving 100%.  Images are processed to achieve the best results often spending hours editing.   You may get someone for half the price but they are most likely in the early stages of there career and do not understand the value of photography or how to work out the real hourly cost or prepare a business plan, or have invested in high end equipment costing thousands, let alone experience or developed a photography style. I am sure If they sat down and worked out the real cost they would soon realise its actually costing money to photograph a job to cheap.   Photography is a trade like many other services that have a minimum hourly rate charged just to break even as mentioned above.
