photophile Posted June 21, 2007 Share #1 Posted June 21, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) As some of you know, I am an longstanding M6 user. Also have a D200. Currently have been asked by a client with resources, to do a rather extensive project. Lots of street portaitsure, etc. It is probably enough incentive to send me to the M8. But need to do a cost justification on this end. Would some of you be kind enough to give me a sense of what you consider reasonable fees to charge a client ( hourly / daily / project ) and what you generally ask for web use pics / office display pics - unframed / framed ( 16 X20 ). I am so used to education / charitable clients, am not sure what is reasonable for more finacially independent client. A general guide ...and reason to M8 is what I seek! Thanks.

jdlaing Posted June 21, 2007 Share #2 Posted June 21, 2007 I get $225.00 per 24x36 print. $95.00 for 1024 x 768 web shots. $105.00 for 3136 x 2352 full size shots for computer only. My road trip fee is $350.00 for local (75 mile) trips. Court trips or Arbitration trips are &125.00 per hour from door to door. I print up to 8.5 x 11 and farm out everything else. Whatever the printer charges me I add that cost plus 15% to my fee. All my subjects are inanimate so there is no sitting fee as all they do is sit there. Depending on the circumstances I may get part of the fee in advance. I digimarc ALL my pics and patiently wait for a stolen one to pop up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdlaing Posted June 21, 2007 Share #4 Posted June 21, 2007 many thanks.. and good tip on the digimarc! I'll take that to heart. I didn't and learned the hard way. One thing I failed to mention is, depending on what type of photography you do, is you need to learn what the market where you are will bear. That helps set the prices on your work. I have yet to figure out which is worse........too little or too much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
