Getting paid for taking photos - some advice please

[Remedi]

I've been whoring my pics on a lot of forums and on Facebook for a quite a while now, even had an e-mail from the editor of Max Power magazine recently.

Anyway I've now been asked by a local car valeting company to do a shoot with a one of their demo cars with some models/dancers for promotion.

I've never charged for photos before as i'm not professional but was wondering if anyone on here has had experience in the actual business side of photography.


I have no idea... do you charge per pic? per hour of a shoot?

I'm lost and need some advice lol

cheers

Ask for a shot of the models/dancers...

and.. i dont mean a photo.. picture.. shot

 

[Remedi]

Don't know what they look like yet lol

Good point lol

Photographers can be about £300-500 a day I think - need to see what they want etc!

 

[Remedi]

Oh right.

See i was thinking £100 for someone with no experience in professional stuff lol

Yeah i'm still talking to the bloke online. I'm gotta visit the site and have a proper chat face to face about it soon.

Sounds like a fair amount for a bit of informal work, that's what I would have suggested.
