Question What to charge?

Have slowly been building up a portfolio of my photos. Several have been in local exhitions through my camera club. Are now faced with several queries from potential buyers.

Can you give me an indication of what you charged before you went professional or what I should charge? For example, how much should I sell a 'bevelled edged' mounted 8x12" or 12x18" photo for? I generally print on Epson premium gloss or Somerset Velvet/Satin papers.

Cheers,

Marc.

Default Re: What to charge?

You should charge the low end of professional prices for a few reasons.
a) You won't pee off the pros by making their work seem over-priced
b) If you want to go pro at some point it's very hard to raise prices by big steps
c) L glass isn't cheap
