Hi Folks,
I'm new to the forum. I love photography but am usually too dang busy to hang out here that often. Thanks for all those who contribute with great tips and information.
My question: My profession is not photography. I own an outdoor lighting design company. I have been shooting my own work for close to 6 years now just simply out of the necessity to show my potential clients my work. Well, recently an associate of mine who is also in the same business has asked if I would be interested in doing all of the photography work for his franchise company. He currently has 32 franchise locations nationwide. All of the projects would be of completed lighting installations. I would be required to hop a plane, do a preshoot setup and at dusk, shoot for a good 1.5-2 hours. I would grab a hotel, and jump a plane home and start post on the shots for an hour or two. Most images will be used in small print adds and web use.
They will be paying for all travel expenses, but I am not sure what to charge for the shoot and post production work. I know CODB for my lighting business, but I can't charge those rates for shooting. I am thinking a flat daily rate is the way to here. Does $500/ day sound too cheap for this or too much? What is an average rate for something like this to shoot on location?
Thanks
