Hey Guys!
So i've recently been commissioned by a hotel to shoot one of the restaurants in their lobby. I've never done a commercial shoot before so i'm hoping you guys could give me some insight on what I can charge. It will be a two day event. The first day I will be shooting food (5 hours of work). The second day I will be shooting the space. Now the space shoot will involve something like 12 models, lighting and some rental equipment.
Now here is the kicker: Because the chef likes my work he already scheduled me and I came in this week and shot the food. The contact at the hotel said just send us your hourly in an invoice once the shoot is done. So now i've already done a 5 hour shoot and the next shoot with the models and the space is already scheduled for next week. I definitely don't want to undercut myself because I am a good photographer and I have a pretty decent amount of experience under me but I also don't want to charge a ridiculous amount either as to offend or make the person that referred me look bad. Also I know nothing about licensing. So like i said...HELP! lol
