<br />I've been taking pictures all my life and am now hoping to take the next step and start earning money by freelancing.</p>
<p>Nothing big to start off with, just a few jobs here and there which I can fit around my day job and then go from there.</p>
<p>What I would like to know is how should I price these early jobs? I have a fear that with no real reputation people might try the "it'll be good for your exposure" Line and try and take advantage of any work I do.</p>
<p>should I agree a flat rate for pictures, processing and editing? has anybody ever had success charging 'per picture' and what are the thoughts behind this?</p>
<p>i'm comfortable with the business side of things, the only other thing i'm worried about is Contracts. I really don't have the money to see a solicitor/lawyer and write one up. is there a good template out there to use where I can edit it for each job?</p>
<p>thanks in advance for your help and advice!</p>
