Pricing for amateur photographer
I have recently ventured into this as well. As I live in the United States and a Big city let alone a Huge State, There is lots and lots of compitition out here. Some really Good and some really bad. But the really good ones are making a lot of money doing what they do. I am not in it per say for the money, but If I can make money doing what I like well why not. Some of the better Photographers or I should really say, more experienced ones, not really better charge clients a session fee of over $100 USD, and that includes just there time, then the clients have to purchase the photos from thier site or pay for a Copywrite release.
So what I have done is look more at some of the amature/pro sites and see what they offer for pricing and what types of photos they shoot. If I feel that I can produce the same quality of photos or Better I will put together a package to make my price more worth the money. However most of your compitition out there you need to remember have probably been in the buisness a little longer. I dont know what your skill level is, but those others will have a following. This buisness is all about repeat customers and Word of mouth from those customers to get their friends to go to you.
Hope this helps and Good Luck. If you would like take a look at my Website and respond back..
Happy Shooting!
