Unfortunately, many entrepreneur photographers are not getting enough for their creative skills in photography. A lot of them get stipends for works that cost huge amounts literally, and a majority are underpaid for their value but because they don’t know the value of their creativity and many photographers don’t understand or have the knowledge of the business of photography they become frustrated, making some opt out to do other things.

As an entrepreneur photographer, it is not enough to know the camera techniques, lighting techniques, etc. for us to make a standard living out of what we’re passionate about but knowing the business aspect of photography will help you grow and earn more. Having strong financial knowledge will keep you going. Charging your clients shouldn’t be a challenge at all if you know the value you are presenting to them.  Don’t jump into gigs or jobs that will waste your time for a little amount.

TIPS ON HOW TO CHARGE YOUR CLIENTS

  1. Have A Strong Portfolio Or Build A Strong Portfolio If You Don’t Have One: Having a strong portfolio will increase the value you possess and also it becomes part of your selling point.
  2. Cost of Materials: You should always add the cost of your materials whenever you’re charging your clients. These are the cost of printing photo books, packaging, shipping, and all other necessary costs.
  3. Cost of Labor: Never go charge with the mindset of passion or because you want to expand your creative career. Make sure you include the cost of your time and labor put into the work whether it’s a photoshoot, wedding, editing, documentary, etc. it should be part of your total cost.
  4. Overhead Cost: As an entrepreneur photographer, don’t let the fear of including the overhead cost in your total cost; it shouldn’t make lose in the business. This cost includes maintaining your equipment, software, backdrops, lighting, replacing anything that gets spoilt, etc.
