- Photos OK to edit
I live in Maryland. Few weeks ago I had the opportunity of taking behind the scenes pictures for a band recording their first EP in a studio.
Now they'd like more services from me, and they want to know what my fees are to include them in their budget.
The thing is, I've never done this before, and I'm starting as a photographer as they are as a band, so I don't want to overcharge them and having already a "regular" day job, I don't have to make a living out of this.
I have no idea what to reply them.
This is what they ask:
1-Album shoot: album/website specific photos. Probably take a full day and shoot in 3 to 4 locations.
2-Behind the scenes shoots: performances, music videos, fundraising events, etc.
3-"Gear" tee-shirts, posters, magnets, etc. They want to know if I can offer this or what I charge for my images to be used.
4-They want a general idea of how many pictures they should expect from each shoot and the turn-around time.
5-They want to know if I have any deals setup for bands--like if they use me as their photographer or guarantee a certain amount of work/hours, I give a reduced rate....have any packages like that.
I know that I should set the fees based on how much my time worth etc...etc... but at the moment what I need are some numbers to get an idea of what I should reply them.
Also, I need ideas/templates on contract (for the shoot and the usage fees)
I really hope you guys can help me.
Thanks a lot!
