A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Wedding Pricing (alien.top)

If someone offered you $300 to cover 3hrs of a wedding, 1.5hrs of commuting, and 2hrs of sorting/editing time, WITH LESS THAN 8HRS NOTICE, how many photos would you include? Prints? Extras?

If you’re thinking that sounds insane then you’re correct but I’m just losing my mind here. He asked for an additional DISCOUNT and thought that I was going to include 200+ prints into a photo album for him???? I’m new to photography so I figured I could at least get the experience and use for marketing but I don’t have permission to post photos of the family in their culture either. I did someone a favor and it’s been nothing but a nightmare.

$100/hour was the bare minimum I'd charge for just a shoot, no edits, no prints, and that was 15 years ago before inflation got crazy.

Eg. 8 hour event, charge $800, shoot 800 photos, deliver 80 files. Light edits (lightroom/capture one) cost extra. Heavy edits (photoshop) cost a lot extra. Prints cost extra. Anything more than 3 revisions costs extra.

Just the cost of printing + album would cost about what this job is paying. Don't walk, run from this one.
