dfperrault Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 <p> Does anyone know what the going rates are for a photographer to photograph an Arangetram dance performance and proivde a package of photographs.? This is an classical Indian dance performance (2hrs long) performed by a student, usually in her late teens. It can be thought of as a graduation performance. This rates on a similar level to a wedding interms of importance in Indian culture.<br>Don</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denniswms Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 <p>The implication from your post is that you charge a sliding scale for your time and efforts.</p> <p>To me, two hours of event work is two hours of event work. If you are good at it what difference does it make if it's a wedding or a graduation- or for that matter the importance of the moment to your subject? </p> <p>I charge a millionaire's son exactly the same as a missionary's (and I've had both as clients) and I'd challenge anyone to figure out through the images which was which. I cannot do a better job behind the lens because I am paid more- so I charge everyone the same.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philipward Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 You should have an hourly rate and include any post work at the same rate.Prints extra with your markup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariosforsos Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 <p>Just remember to add to that pricing (if you haven't accounted for it already in your hourly rate) the time spent getting to and from the venue (if it's a remote one). Otherwise, the advice offered above is perfect.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
