[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 303226, member: 1061"] There is timeless wisdom in these two sentences. This is the bane of how photography transforms from something you love to do, to something you get paid to do. There is a difference. Personally, (and most pros agree) I think low ball or discount pricing is the wrong way to go. Either charge the market rate, or do it for free. You're shooting yourself and the industry as a whole in the foot if you low ball. Not to mention, you'll gain a reputation as the cheap guy. That may be good for awhile, but over time, it's going to be difficult to get away from it. Frankly, internet forums are not a good source of info on running a photography business. Join ASMP (or other trade association) and go to a local meeting in your area. [/QUOTE]
