Prices
MAY 26, 2023
Urgh, this is the tricky bit! Pricing is really difficult, especially when your product is mostly a combination of time and experience, both of which are hard to put a value on!
But (and its a reasonably sized but) there are overheads, like photoshop subscriptions, the eye watering cost of a good camera and lenses, other bits and bobs, like lights, backdrops, props, as well as all the "usual" overheads of a small business...
Quite a few sites suggest that you don't publicise your prices, because of competition, but as a customer, particularly in these economic times when planning is key, I really like to know what to expect when I contact a business, so would be less likely to even call, let alone book with someone who didn't have a price on their site. So here we are! My prices are under the heading "prices, packages and services" along the top bar.
It's also worth mentioning that quite a lot of being a photographer is not being behind the camera; there are consultations, canvassing, a quite frankly ridiculous amount of time spent creating and posting content for social media, and of course for every hour of shooting, there is at least two hours of editing.
Here is a picture of me, hard at work!
