<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I'm very new to this process and after extensive research on the internet, as well as reaching out to a photography friend, I still don't have answers so hopefully you can help. It looks as though I have my first Photo Book request. Is there a set formula to consider when billing someone? So in other words, at 17.5" x 12", it's $20 a page, at 10" x 10", it's $10 a page, etc. plus the cost of buying the actual album? I tried to consider my time as a designer (which is a service I do aside from photography) but the cost was very unreasonable and unaffordable, so I'm hoping that there is some 'magic' formula that makes it so that the client has a reasonably affordable book and I'm not taking a huge loss in the process...</p>
<p>Also, for an 80 page album, what's the typical number of pictures you would ask a client to select? similarly, what would it be for a 40 page album?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance for any input on this!</p>
