I'm looking into making a small job by shooting local bands if I can, I planned on making a myspace/facebook and then adding the bands, and telling them what i do. I'd have some work uploaded and a link to my flickr as well.
My question lies here: What do I do for pricing?
They are all going to be fairly small local bands, many of which are just trying to get out there and record some small albums, so I dont want to set a price where I won't get any work.
I was thinking maybe a deal were I could get them to give me a ticket to the show, and then some money on top of that to shoot the show. I was thinking maybe around $50 a show? so overall it'd cost the band no more than $75
I'd let them use all the pictures they want, just put a small watermark in the corner or something to that extent.
Does this sound like a good idea to any of my fellow shooters out there? I'm willing to take all suggestions, It's my first time getting into anything business wise for photography.
And I have the gear to shoot concerts, I've done a few for my friends band already, I own some 2.8 and 1.8 glass.
