helen_horsley1 Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Hi everyone. I have a new client that is giving me a steady stream of work. They are sending me to a city about an hour away on a 2 day shoot. I will be shooting about 7 locations in different parts of a city. All shots are outdoor and requiring great light. I am proposing that I come up there to scout the locations the week before the shoot. How much to charge for the day of scouting? I am tempted to charge my half day rate plus expenses, because this is looking like it's turning into a long term relationship. Any feedback would be appreciated. Happy Friday.Helen Horsley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellis_vener_photography Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 "I am tempted to charge my half day rate plus expenses, because this is looking like it's turning into a long term relationship. " That is very a reasonable and sensible approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bill c. Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Most photographers get at least half-day rates (those who are still charging in that obsolete manner, anyway) for travel, and anywhere from half to full day rates for scouting. However, often it is the assistant who is doing the scouting, and in that case usually half-day rates apply. -BC- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
