From: Larry Colen
Some friends stopped by when driving through town last night and we
grabbed a bite at the local taqueria. I was showing them my 'best of'
folder of prints and someone else there asked if I'd be interested in a
job shooting an event, I think it was his parents 50th anniversary.
Assuming that the scheduling worked, I don't even know what order of
magnitude to charge. If it's a 3 hour affair, that's easily 6 hours of
work, so I could see people charging anywhere from $150 to $1200 for that.
I figure a $1000.00 DAY RATE; DAY = 8 hrs; $500.00 - HALF DAY = 4 hrs.
Additional hours @ $125.00/hr beyond HALF DAY, until you get beyond 8
hrs, then you should be charging time & a half, but call it $185.00/hr
... unless you really want to discourage going overtime, then charge
$200.00/hr.
Figure $150.00/hour for LESS than half a day. Three hours would be
$450.00 ... they might opt for HALF DAY.
Charge according to how many hours you're going to be on site, actually
in there shooting. The time you spend on post production comes out of
your over-head.
Consider that an incentive to get it right in camera so you don't have
to spend hours in post production.
