How much do I charge for a photo shoot?

[Tee]

I'm always a fan of the search prior posts before starting a thread. In the case of "how much should I charge", there are several pages of results.

Who defines what is TACTFUL?

I used to be an ebay powerseller. I belonged to a forum where no one replied rude. Because of this, and all the nice help I received, I made it all the way to silver level powerseller with all that I learned on the forum. Moral of the story, people can word things differently and not be rude on here. Even when I made it silver level powerseller (I am the ebay QUEEN), all the NEW people that joined, I was more than willing to give advice and secrets and offer TRUE help.

I charge nothing, freebies. As a photo college student, thats about what I'm worth right now. If you have no clue what to even charge, what do you think you're worth? LoL

There are exceptions, I'll charge my "expenses" when people ask me to go to neighboring towns and such. And I confirmed with State Farm that doesn't affect my "non-professional" uber-low rate on my equipment insurance policy

Nooooo!! You're putting all the pro's out of business!!! AHAHWGHGHAHHWH! :lmao:

When you're old and grey and thinking about your life as a professional "whatever", I'm pretty sure it's the apparently harsh advice, comments and criticism that you will tell others "made you what you are".

Yes, it's certainly an awful environment here where people are encouraged to think for themselves or at least give us adequate information so that we can do their thinking for them. And the poor folks that ask for C&C? The people that respond to those threads obviously have no idea that it means Compliment & Coddle.

OP - depends on what camera you're using. Canon or Nikon??
