[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 303039, member: 1061"] There's only 1 person qualified to determine pricing: you. Pricing in this business is largely geographical. What you can charge $500 for might only go for $100 in other areas. It would be tough in the NYC area due to competition in both the amateur and pro markets. Best advice I can give on pricing, and I've given it several times, is this: If you're asking, then you're not ready to start charging for your services. If you have any inkling about getting paid for a service, then you need to do your homework and have a plan. There's no shame in working for free and building your portfolio. This isn't a personal jab, but I don't know why everyone who picks up a camera these days thinks they have to earn money with it. If this is a hobby, then keep it that way. [/QUOTE]
