- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
Hello all,
I am new to these forums, and so I am excited to hear some opinions. I have a small yet growing photography business, and I often have many business related questions. (Basically the only aspect I hate about photography). But I know it has to be dealt with.
Specifically I'd like to ask about wedding pricing. I have already received 5 wedding inquiries (after very recently launching my new site), to which I have responded to. But I thus far have not received any replies. I assume that they are shopping around, but I can't help but wonder if I am doing something wrong.
I have very competitive pricing, to the point where I'm wondering...do people think my prices are TOO low? To get an idea, my packages start at $800...and the full day coverage is $1850.
Obviously I think it's unreasonable to charge like the pros when I have yet to build up a decent portfolio. But I also don't want to come off cheap and ghetto. Even though they see my images, and know they are good. I don't know, does low pricing turn you off?
In my community, others charge $2000-4300 (others meaning - they're on the same skill/equipment level as me...just a few years ahead)
Thanks in advance!
