- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
A couple of months ago some friends and I opened a photo studio in Glendale, CA. Two of us shoot there and we rent it out to people. Things are really taking off now and yesterday we ran into a situation that made us wonder what people expect when they rent a studio.
A new client made a reservation for a ten-hour shoot. They actually ended up shooting for fifteen hours, and they asked what our overtime rates were. We gave them a little discount on the normal hourly rate and they were happy, but what would YOU expect? Should our rates go down, stay the same or increase in an overtime situation (assuming the space isn't already booked by somebody else)? Is there an industry standard that I'm not aware of?
We're still learning. What have you seen out there?
Thanks,
Jeff
