business photography
Becoming a successful professional photographer requires more than just being able to shoot a pretty sunset or stunning portrait. Professional photographers often only turn a profit in their third or fourth year of trading. Statistically, bad experiences get retold ten times more than good ones. They then pay attention to how businesses respond to complaints. Your reaction to criticism makes a difference in how potential clients will view your business.

I would charge 300-500 for portraits, 500-10,000 for events. id also include a 2 month window for my pictures, I’d include contact info, event date, services i will provide, payment details, copyright usage, cancellation and reseduling policies, liability waiver, delivery timeline, and signature.
