I recently got my first job in product photography where I will be taking pictures of children's shoes for a brochure. I will be photographing about 10 pairs of shoes. Future jobs will gradually be adding more pairs. How does pricing work?

The answer to your question depends on how decide to charge. You need to either go with charging by time (half a day, full day, etc) or by the image.
As a product photographer myself with a <Link Deleted> in the mid-west I use the per image method when it comes to my <Link Deleted>. Since I shoot in high volume and in studio it works best to charge this way. As said above, the option of the volume product photography pricing it true. Defiantly charge less as the product count increases. We charge as follows.
<Link Deleted>
1-4 images $39.00 per image
5 or more $29.00 per image
group images $49.00 per image
$99+ for complex backgrounds and large sets.
We do have numerous clients that have had product counts over 100 and continue to use our services so we charge them $10 per image. That's a big jump and the client appreciates it and comes back time after time.
<Link Deleted> is the the single most important aspect for a business if they sell products online of in print media. Don't sell your self short on pricing.
Happy Shooting!
