How many shot will the model get & also how much do you charge for a wedding
occasion.
OK...three questions, not one.
1) How much do I charge a model for a photo session in my
country?
Well, my country is a very big place with over 300 million people in it. There
is not one set rate that I know of. I cannot give you my rates because models
are not my customers. I do not ask models to pay me, my clients pay the models.
If you are looking for how much models in your area pay for a portfolio, why not
just pick up the telephone book, call a few photo studios and say that you are
interested in having a portfolio package done. They will give you quotes for the
different types of portfolio packages that they sell. In my tiny part of the
United States of America, studios are charging from $250 to $500 for a set with
five different looks. This generates about 25 images. Models would then pay
extra for the ones they want blown up into 8x10 or larger prints.
2) How many shots will the model get?
Again, that varies greatly from studio to studio. Once more, your best bet for
information is the telephone book.
3) How much do you charge for a wedding occasion?
I hate doing weddings. They are long and boring and always end the same. If I am
roped into one, I will do a church set for $250 an hour. Once we move outdoors
(and most weddings here are outdoors on the beach) the costs vary depending upon
what is wanted. Rates for a two hour gig start at $1,000 and go up to $3,500.
Extra prints, DVDs, website, etc. can be included for an additional charge.
I know that our local rates are higher than most places in the country. We are a
resort destination, the number one wedding destination in the U.S. and have a
pretty captive market with the nearest competitors 1200 miles away across an
ocean. We also have to charge higher because camera equipment lasts only a year
or two with continuous beach side shooting. Our customers do pay for the risks
that they expose our equipment to. Have faith that the universe will unfold as it should  |

about $2000, jump fast to $4000 and can go higher. We are talking studios, not
hungry photo students or semipros with a day job.
Studios provide nice packages, web site photo selection, video, albums, coffee
table glossy hardback books--you name it.If I haven't been there, I'm still planning on going!
If I haven't done it, I've still got time to try! |
