what do you charge per 8x10?

she called me asking how much i charge, i told here $20 and she said that place tried to charge her 140 bucks for 2 8x10's LOLOLOL
sweet scam. people hear "free" and think they are saving a ton of money.
yeah they tried to shallywag/hoodwink/bamboozle her.Originally Posted by james
she told them they were out their minds and walked out.
Well I currently charge 125 dollars for a 1 hour session, unlimited editing and a single 24x36 poster print.
So yah I think 70 each is a little on the high side![]()

thats a good price!!!! not a cheap price but a damn good one with that size print.Originally Posted by DinanM3atl
i charge that with no prints, just 10 web images. prints are always extra.
wow thats crazy!!! Reprints for my daughter's school photos were 2(8x10) for $25
Yah well that is just a single print. Customer a that pricing has zero rights to the photos. Photo CD/Web images are not included. Was just going off print pricingOriginally Posted by CH@Dbee

ahhh ok, most the people i have shot want photos for myspace/facebook/email and such so i give them watermarked low-res images.Originally Posted by DinanM3atl
Yah that happens too. I guess I would have similar pricing then on that front![]()

Just wanted to quote this so we can remember it when you complain about having to edit a photo 20 times. hahaha I never offer unlimited editing, that is asking for trouble.Originally Posted by DinanM3atl
I rarely make prints. Depending on the client, once they pay for the shoot I do several hi res images with my watermark on them so they can print them. 2 for $25 is not bad but normally I see 1 for $25 most places.

those hot girls dont need prints for their portfolio?
Some do but if you try and charge for prints then you kill any money you could make. It is hard to make money shooting models cause so many GWC's with an SLR think they can shoot and will do it for free. Then I get to hear horror stories of GWC's making lewd comments, inapropriate touching, uncomfortable situations, and trying to turn a shoot into a porn shoot. I hear it all the time and it is just getting worse.Originally Posted by CH@Dbee

whats gwc?
I believe "Guy's with Camera". IE those people that basically want to see the girl or get the nude shots or suggestive nude. Not going it for the client to use for something.
