I was wondering how you guys would go about charging for your own equipment? Do you charge the client a sort of "rental" charge for each piece of gear you use, or do you just take this out of your personal cost and only charge for production costs specific to the shoot? Surely it makes no sense to add rental costs for gear specific to a certain shoot as against taking it out of your personal value because you have invested in said piece of equipment for your business.
This is just one question of many from a photographer looking to get into the world of commercial photography. At the moment, I'm just putting all of my time and money into investing in myself and building a great portfolio. For now I'll either work for free for clients that are also just starting out, or full price. I don't want to go somewhere in between and devalue myself or other local photographers.
The joys of working out business!
