Hey guys... I'm just starting out and have yet to do any paid work. I never intended to actually but since having photographed a few friends children it seems that work may be coming my way.(and I need the money cos I'm dead broke!)
So in a very generalised nutshell, my question is.. what the hell do I charge??.
Most of the time(I'm guessing its the same for alot of others) is taken up post processing where all sorts of tweakage can come into play.
My general idea: go to persons house, take spontanious shots of kid/s over hour or two then tweak a dozen or so of the best, as I see fit, then bang them, plus the rest of shots onto a CD, send it out and then game over.
I really know nothing about how it works(have been to a bunch of nz photographers sites but have yet to find anyone who does what I'm intending to do.. most of their work is 'in house')
Ok heres a few of my shots...
(When 'managing attachments' and trying to seperate the photos they then become red x's.. so I've had to leave as is)
