Hey Anthony!! I started my photography journey last year's 4th quarter, and I've gotten some shoots with my mini studio at home. I'm in quite the dilemma where the city I'm in is small and I still say I'm a noob in the WHOLE business, but I'm confident in my photos. I'm currently still building up the studio; it is nowhere near what I have envisioned😅, but how or when should I increase my rate?
For me photo goes of beautiful to satisfy my mother sister for photo in every years it about these money spend on photo editing in photoshop .but photographer with photographer website buy beautiful photos and put me and my mother in these photo to does this work and satisfy them my mother sister these kind of job because for letting me to spend the money I want in things beautiful for my mother but if my mother sister dont see satisfaction she only made pay lower price but I lose my dream beautiful and satisfy my mother dream of beautiful photos work but unfortunately they agreed to it .everything goes well but in secret my auntie help me don't tell my mother sister about it too because my auntie love photography beautiful with her she knows of photography work and she love beautiful like I believe wow is the word if it this for her then I knows my mother will love it.
Yes they agreed to it all my personal money to pay for it they agreed to it then it good .I do believe because photographer does really a best job in photography that why then they accept it too even I must made my ancle to satisfy for it too for these things as accepted then too it agreed to it too only because photography is beautiful only.
I always ask a potential customer what exactly they want and work from there. I then give them a price range for what they can get. I generally charge a per diem rate for the shoot itself plus anything special I have to arrange for (like hiring additional personnel and equipment). If I have to rent a Phase camera and special lenses for $2500, I mark up that expense by about 100% on a high end technical shoot. Example: I did a still image content shoot for a railroad. No special equipment, pure digital file delivery of images formated for their use requirements. My base per diem is about $3600 for an all day shoot, and half that for each day of travel there and back. So, a day travel to and from a remote location, $3600. Another $3600 for the whole day. The total covers the actual shoot and editing, etc., within the limits of the number of shots agreed upon. I usually give the customer more finished shots than they asked for (I always deliver more than they expect. It's good for business). But a lot of shoots I do don't run that much if there isn't much travel involved or if the customer provides for travel and lodging. I also get a deposit to pay anything staff or equipment I need to hire so they get paid even if a customer breaks the contract. On journalism shoots where I have to travel to far off locations, i make sure that I have a good amount of money after any expenses, taxes, etc., I incur. The starting point of any estimate has to consider what your expenses are and what you need to earn after expenses. If I do extensive retouching and color grading, etc., on images, that's $200 an hour if I have to do it. The worst thing you can do is sell yourself cheap regardless of your level of experience.
Hey sir , thank you for your great video and details. I was wondering if you could help me out with choosing the right one. I want to use the lens for mostly portrait and cinematic videography. In the list of > , which one is the ultimate one for me regardless of budget. Appreciate it so much.
Hi Anthony I live near Toronto and I have just started and I have few tools , I really need some advice in everything like how and what , where should I go, please help me.
Great video! Thanks! if i could only buy one budget len for the R50 besides the stock 18mm-45mm len, to feel more confident that I'm giving them some more value. would the 50mm be good? Thanks again

@@maxwellavwata1077 Typically... when you have more work than you can handle, it's a good indicator that you should increase your rate.
The Problem is: its way tooo hard for amateurs like me to start from the bottom any tips for that?
That would require an entire video, but I'd be happy to cover it, if there are more people in the comments interested in learning!
@@AnthonyGugliotta plssssss
I would love to get some tips!
I would like that very much
@@AnthonyGugliotta That would be amazing!

Great breakdown! Thanks for sharing!
This video was so good I had to watch it twice. Thank you for the value!
Love to hear that! :)
If you have a rate per hour, the only thing to measure is hours needed.
It depends on the type of the job. Hourly rates punish you for being efficient.
This was super helpful I hate when people are like I need some videos what's your rate and give no information like they have no clue what they want 😅
