Photo Pricing?
I’m trying to break away from nature and landscape/cityscape photography and move towards photographing people. I’m working on finding space for a studio and i also want to put myself out there photographing weddings. However, one of the things that has me stuck is pricing. I’m not sure what i should be offering clients in the way of photo packages or pricing for weddings and such…if anyone has any advice, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
You need to check out the competition. Go see other photogs as a “customer” to get therir prices. Then you’ll have an idea of what the market for your area can handle.
It also depends on how good your work is, experience, and what you value your services to be.
Before you start shooting weddings, make sure you know your camera blind to operate it in any lighting situtation. With weddings, nothing is constant. Read books about weddings and get a list of must have photos to shoot,
When you have time check out my portfolio and wedding show I created with music, special effects, motion & transitions.
