Resturant photography price?

Im shooting a hookah lounge this weekend.The owner wants shots of the restaurant and atmosphere.I don't know what price to give.What are the prices for this type of job?

How good are you, what type of experience do you have, and how did he contact you?

Im good.my friend is dating the owner.For some reason I don't see to much work that involves this project.seems like I just need a tripod and the camera with a good lens.maybe some fish eye shots.details of fire and hookah smoke ect ect.Im thinking of saying $300 but idk if that too little or too much

$300.00 all depends. As long as no additional expenses are incurred, you have the necessary equipment and this friend is a good one.

Others may disagree since no way would a professional do it at this cost. But the way I see it, what if he were to ask you to come back and do it again, or other references are gotten that want you to shoot for the same price?

Are you willing to do this over and over for $300?

O ok.well here's the thing I don't know.should I stick with what lights the resturant offers or add artificial light.I have all the gear I need.what do photographers usually charge for something like this

I'm not willing to for that price

Lights the restaurant offers? Artificial light? You are the photographer... You are asking the same question all over again!

Well the only reason I'm asking if I should use artificial light is because I want to know if its ok to change the look of the resturant.i could add nice light to the place but wouldn't that change the look of the actual place then what it really looks like

I guess its my role as a photographer to figure that out

Pretty much this. Sometimes you have to use artificial lights to make the place look as it does. What I mean by that is camera capture light differently than people perceive it.

Ya I know what you mean.I was actually thinking of that.you need to have some skills to pull it off well

Im still learning the skill

interior photography isnt always as easy as it would seem Matching the focal length to you get you the coverage you want, without perspective distortion is not easy. And lighting to enhance the ambient, but not over power it. It takes a bit of thought to plan out.
