- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
I am going to try my best to word this so nobody that answers is confused. I am wanting to start a photography business. I have watch hours upon hours of courses and tutorials with some being on the business side for a photography business. When it comes to pricing, I get somewhat confused about the session fee and the actual prints the client would be buying.
Typically is a session fee separate from the prints you would buy? I have heard in videos about discounting the session fee, offer a free session, etc. because that's where you are making your money is in the prints and not the session fee.
So are a majority of established photographers charging to have the actual photo session (session fee) and then the client pays for a package or a la carte on top of the session? Is the session fee included in a package etc.
I am not trying to get into pricing or anything just more of a structure question I am confused by I guess.
I hope you see where I was going with this and can explain in some detail.
Thanks
