Hey everyone.
I recently was approached by a customer at my normal retail job to shoot him and make a promotional flyer for a gig he has at the local bar. He offered $100 for the job and I thought it was fair since I was friendly with the guy. We spent about an hour at the beach taking shots and afterwards he took me and my friend who I had there to carry my equipment out to lunch. I know that what I did for him would cost much more then $100 and I'm curious what you would charge for such a job??
So, after he saw the shots and we finalized the flyer he told me he would like to book me for his gig that I made the flyer for. I told him we could discuss it and spoke to him about what he wanted and he said he didn't need shots for the entire performance but maybe like 5 decent shots of him playing. So I've neglected to call him in fear of low balling myself on the gig or telling him a price that he may not be comfortable with. I would normally charge $50-75 for a portrait session (1-2 hour shoot) which is very fair. What do you feel would be a fair price after what he payed me before?? I would personally like at least $75 since it's at 10pm and about 40mins from home. $100 would be better ... What do you think?
