Collapsible Lens

How much should a photographer ask for portraits?

I’m a young photographer. I have a Nikon D60, a flash, a 55-200mm lens and am getting some collapsible reflectors. I have a real gift for the art, and know how to get professional looking photos. I have never done work for money, but thought about sending a news letter out to let people know that I’m available to do portraits.

How much should I charge and on what basis, hour, prints or both?

Thanks.

Most portrait photographers charge a “sitting” fee … $350 is not unusual and include some little package of like five prints in various sizes … the shoot can guarantee from 12 to 24 images to choose from and then any additional prints are billed at the going rate in your marketing area.

As a business and marketing tool, you will want to call all the professional studios in your area and see what they are charging … then charge the same and for a few months publish a % off coupon with your advertising and news letters.

Later when you start paying the fixed and variable costs needed to run a studio and have to plan on recapitalization of your equipment every 18-24 months, you will not be broke most of the time. Buying two new camera bodies every 18-24 months has to be planned for in advance and your pricing structure has to include those costs.
