    I have been asked to take pictures for a band, they also want some photoshop work doing. the shoot is scheduled for 2-3 hrs.

    Can anyone give me a few ideas on the amount i should charge, bearing in mind that i am still only an amateur but i do have all my own equipment.

    Thanks for reading.

    It would also depend on what the images will be used for. Album cover, posters, advertising, promotion, etc. Where the images will be used (locally, Ireland, Europe, worldwide).

    Then you judge what time you need to spend (shoot, post processing, etc), and how many images are involved.

    Very hard to just pick a number, but it should at least have €00.00 at the end of it, and maybe a number between 1-10 first.

    Hi there!
    I work as a band photographer.
    When I started I charged 15euro an hour… (not including photoshop work) so in your case for 3 hours it’d be 90euro.
    But it’s hard to say… & it depends on how much the band are willing to pay you.
    One of my first jobs I got payed 200euro because they used some of my photos on their EP.
    I really think aswell it depends on what they want to use the photos for… if they want to use them in an album or something, charge a bit more.

    Now after a year and a half of working for bands my prices can go between 300-500 euro.
