mike simons Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Question for the forum - thanks in advance for replies, advice, etc. I have two friends who have been asked to shoot a local police chief's retirement party at a local museum in a few weeks. Here are specifics as we know them: *2 shooters *3-4 hours of coverage *Guest candids & table shots - likely 130+ guests *Coverage of speakers in a "roast"-style format, etc., *Few prints, but likely development of a computer-ready slideshow bundled on a DVD with all of the high-res files color-corrected, etc... We're looking for general feedback on how to price a gig like this... Flat rate, hourly, etc... This is an area where, admittedly, they don't have a ton of experience, but their shooting and style is excellent. Thanks again - hope to hear from some folks who've shot gigs like this -- -Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al_kaplan1 Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 That's not enough to cover the hours of computer time putting together the slide show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandra_schaffer Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 $350 an hour for you. $200 an hour for the second shooter. Hope your friend is real good with the slide show software! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin cook - stratford upo Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 In the Uk you'd be lucky to get $500 all in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conraderb Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Depends on the experience and quality of the photographer, and the experience and quality of the slideshow. Some people would do the above for $100, and some would ask for $10,000. Anything in between is possible. Sounds to me that if the work is that good, this could lead to a lot of other work. I am always an advocate of less experienced photographers taking jobs at rates that they think are lower than they are worth until they have experience. with experience, you start to get a sense of what your skills are worth.
