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.

So I am looking to get into dealership photography as a side gig with my Nikon Z50 with two different lens (35mm 1.8 / 50mm 1.8) just to make some money through this winter season. I am considering about charging the dealerships in my area per vehicle, $30CAD (nearly $22 USD). That would include my time to take the photos, organize them, do some editing, fuel to get to the dealers, etc. Does this seem reasonable to do by the vehicle? Or should I just do an hourly rate at 20CAD (14.50USD)?

The reason why I thought of per vehicle is that I'm seeing some dealers not having a bunch of vehicles come in and out, with the need of better / or more photos. Of course I could work it out with the dealers I end up getting work with.

I do have another question for those that currently or have done car dealership photography, what mm lens would you recommend? I am currently looking at an 18-200 lens to buy. Or should I get an 18-24mm?

Have you actually talked to the dealers about your idea?
