Today I shot about 200 pictures for a local place that has a tourist attraction. It's a local cave that you pay to enter with a gudied tour.

They have had poor luck with other photographers as their images came out too dark etc. After looking at my results, I am pretty darn sure they will love them, and I have free reign to go back and take as many as I want...... I'll be doing that soon, but since they will use the images for pamphlets and such... And it's a well known attraction, what would be a decent price to ask for?

I will be supplying them with the RAW and JPG formats of each picture.

I have no idea what to charge, and since this is my first real gig, I want to make sure that I'm not slapping them in the face as well as hurting my image and I plan on doing business with them in the future.

find out the full extent of the usage of ur photographs and whatthere budget is. Try to come to some sort of mediation between what they think is fair and what you think is fair. They will give you a quote and its up to you and/or get the opinion of others here to see if they trying to slap you or they giving u a good price. If they giving you a high amount, its best to ask for a little less then what they can afford, that way they may come back to you in the future, and/or recommend your services. Also see what rates are of those failed photographers.

it's always easier to negotiate price before you shoot. are they expecting to pay? how much time did you spend shooting?
