- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
Hey! I hope you all can answer my question and forgive me if it's been asked before.
I just did a pro-bono editing job for a friend of a friend who is also a photographer. She doesn't know Photoshop well and I do and was very impressed with the results. She decided to hire me as her editor/retoucher.
My question is, how much should I be charging and how should I be doing it? Some info:
a) The projects will range anywhere from magazine-style shoots where I'm not just doing skin retouching but also atmospheric editing (very time intensive stuff, etc) to simple portrait shoots that will just require light skin retouching and colour correction
b) I'm very practiced in what I do as I have been editing my own photos for years, so it's not like I'm just starting out.
c) She's letting me set my own price, but I need to know a range in which I'm supposed to work.
d) None of the sets are going to be TOO huge (like, say 500+ photos) or anything like that, mostly under 50.
e) This is in US dollars.
What's the best way to charge her in this situation (hourly, by photo, by set, etc) and how much?
Thank you all so much!
