Tanya.Other than the 4x6's my reprint rates are twice that i pay the lab(i have dealt with this lab for about 4 years and are very good to me)The 4x6's are a little more.I find other equine photographers charge $5,$15,$20 and $30 respectively.My main problem is what to charge for a location shoot,keeping in mind all but 1 camera is payed for but still have to buy and proccess film etc.Does your sitting fee reflect all your costs ie:labour,film,proccessing eq payments etc??I have some people interested in having me do on site shoots for there sponsers and selves but am wrestling with a rate.Is $60 to little and $200 toi much.The season is starting next week,i have my show locxations set(on spec shots) and hope tpo generate some portrait work.

David, I don't know what your lab charges, but the prices you just quoted are virtually identical to what my local (non-proff.) lab charges JUST for enlargements. ie if I were to sell any of those shots at the sizes/prices you just mentioned, I would be selling at cost with no allowance even for film. However, from your thread I am assuming that you are making at least something on each of your sales, so I will leave it up to the others who have been advising me to offer their suggestions.... fairy. - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
