<p>Tried searching the forums and didn't come up with anything in the short time I have available to post.<br> I've been asked to shoot home landscaping on an on-going basis for a local landscape design company and shot one property yesterday to see how it would go (I'm proficient with photography but have never set out specifically to promote myself with this niche). I and the client are satisfied with the images and we are negotiating what to charge and how. The business owner is an easy going and fair person who doesn't expect to pay craigslist prices for pro quality work. <br> Q. Any photographers out there on these forums with experience in how to charge and bill for this type of work?<br> <br />Shooting lasts 1-2 hrs depending on the size of the home plus a couple more hours of work in LR/PS at home. Cost of driving is a separate expense. <br> I'm torn between going with a cut hourly rate (and choosing what the rate should be) versus setting a flat rate per home based on approximate size/scope of the job. Some jobs are basically document the work and get it done ASAP. The high end homes require much more time/work and gear (bringing strobes/modifiers etc).<br> <br />Any help is appreciated. Thank you.</p>
