Determining a Price for Portfolio

[Thirdcatgy]

Hi,

A national company who is in the very high-end sector of the travel industry would like me to put together 20-30 shots of my area to be used in their brochure and on their website.

I have no earthly idea of a price to quote them and was hoping to get some input on this.

Thanks in advance,

Billy

what is your area?

I'm in Hilton Head Island, SC

I would say that a good day rate for the Hilton Head area would be $1200-1500/day. Figure out how long it will take you and also charge for post-processing time. Or go to http://photographersindex.com/price-adv-calc.htm and calculate usage values for the photographs. If going by usage you will probably want to give a little discount for volume.

Wait a second here.

Are you submitting your own shots to the company, or is the company assigning you which shots to go out and get?

If it is the former, then you submit the shots that you think are best, and you tell them your price for each one, like $100 to $300. If it is the latter, then you tell them how much time it is going to take you to go out and get them, and how much your daily fee is.
