Hello,
My wife and I work as wedding/lifestyle photographers and we were recently contacted by a company to do a major shoot over 5 days at 6 locations across my state of their employees going about everyday business for promotional purposes. Whew. I need to learn how to make shorter sentences.
They need 400-500 images.
I normally start my wedding prices at $2200-4000-5500 as variations for one day collections.
However, I would really like to get my toes wet in commercial photography and do book this job while remaining competitive and without undercutting the market. I also am guessing these kinds of things bring in considerably less money than weddings. So...
What should I charge? $3500? $4000?
I'm looking at at least 3 hours of traveling each day, 5 days of work, the shooting time each day (5-6 hrs), plus editing and delivering the 400-500 images from RAW to .jpeg format, plus taxes, traveling fee...
We are one of three photographers left in the running and they are deciding based on price, I THINK, they haven't said. Plus, I am a member of a husband wife team, so we are both shooting it together.
Equipment would be 2 5D Mark IIs, L lens assortment, couple of primes, all insured, some speedlights, walimex stands, yongnuo transmitters and receivers, and a few modifiers, umbrellas, softboxes, etc.
Check out our work and see for yourself - www.michaelandcarina.com - what you think our work is worth - it's our only job, our only income, and we shoot with pro, insured gear (5D Mark IIs, L lenses).
