Corporate Event Photography Pricing
Event photography pricing for a corporate event?
An amateur photographer, I was able to secure a gig as a photographer for a corporate grand opening of large international company in Texas. The event is for 4 hours and includes candid shots of everyone there. The company wants to keep my digital card after completion of the event. I was offered a rate of $135 per hour. I specialize in quality candid “people shots”. Should I negotiate a higher rate? Thank you in advance.
As an amateur you can’t bargain much. Apart from the money that you get for a days work it also gives you the exposure and hope for future assignments.$540 is not less in any way. Don’t put any conditions on the future use of photos . they are not going to be master pieces , which would go under hammer at sotheby’s! There is something called building relations, in business.
