[QUOTE="Whiskeyman, post: 172979, member: 13556"] LyonsH, A good place to start is to attempt to discover how much the shoot will cost you. Start with equipment: your camera has an expected life and an associated cost. Your vehicle has the same, as well as an ongoing cost of operation (gas, oil, fluids and maintenance.) How are you going to deliver the images? If prints, look at the total cost of prints, from the printer to ink and paper. After you do this, you'll know how much it costs you to be a photographer. You certainly shouldn't expect lose money doing this for others. Then, begin to determine how much your talent and time are worth. If they think enough to ask you to photograph them, don't sell yourself short in the deal. (Most people do.) WM [/QUOTE]
