peter_j2 Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 <p>I've been asked to photograph 15 female outfits worn by models for a fashion designer. The work will be local and I will be working without an assistant. What fee should I be charging? Thanks.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Parsons Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 <p>Whatever the market will bear. Start high, then haggle. Be prepared to refuse the job if the fee is far too low.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles_Webster Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 <p>Do you have experience doing that kind of work? If not do it for free. You should never practice on paying customers.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_j2 Posted December 26, 2016 Author Share Posted December 26, 2016 <p>Charles, I have fashion runway experience and have given this designer some images of her runway show for free. Now, she wants to pay me for off runway shoots of next season's outfits. She will pay. Just need to know what ballpark figure to present. Thanks.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelmowery Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 <p>Its a little hard to suggest what you should charge. For one I have no idea what will be involved or how long you will need in your shoot of 15 outfits. Only you know what you need to charge to stay in business. If this is not your livelihood then charge a fee that you will be happy with. Hourly rates are not the best route in general, a per shot would be best. $100, $200? </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
