Pricing for portfolio sessions
-
Hi folks,
I have some interest in Shooting portfolio sessions. As such, Would anybody be able to offer a good guide for pricing such sessions.
As you know, there will be many hours post the shoot, doing minor colour adjustments and the like. This could take up to 3-4 hours depending on how many shots you have.
The other thing to consider is, that they will be getting all images on disk at high res so no income will be made from the sale of prints.I was thinking of offering a 2hour shoot with unlimited shooting for 300euro and 3 hour shoot for 400euro. This price will also include the
Any comments on this or ideas much appreaciated.
Many thanks,
Max
having a look at other portrait studios websites
they seem to charge 85 euro for an hrs shoot
they then make the money from the prints
I’ve been looking in to this myself.
Seems most photographers charge between ?65-?85 per hour for the shoot. The rest of the money is then made from the prints.
Your rates there seem quite high to me.
Hi, Fair point about my prices paul. But I have to consider the time involves in a shoot.
You could be shooting for 2 hours depending on how many different styles you want to cover.
The other thing is that you may want to shoot in both a studio and on location so the time just builds up.
I aggree on the prices you spoke of if you are just doing a 1 hour shoot in a studio and it is just for family or children portraiture but not if you a re building a portfolio for a model agency. Perhaps I shold have stated this.I have this job tomorrow. I will be shooting from 10 till 12:30. The first 75 mins will be in a studio and the next 75 mins will be on location.
The model will get all images on high resolution disk for her to distribute as she wishes.
I am charging 300euro for this which I think is reasonable considering there will probobly be about 4-5 hours post processing and image resizing.
Total hours for job comes to approx 7hrs. & the model will have about 30 images.I think that is good value, if not too little.
I will definitely browse other sites though to be thorough.Your thoughts are greatly appreaciated.

http://www.maxpowerphotography.comWell, for getting high res images, then your prices do sound much more reasonable. A good bit more work goes in to images than just producing files for print.
Best of luck with it.
