Simple how much for 1 working hour whudle you take ?

Entirely dependent on how good you are. A good wedding photographer will cost you about $4k for the day, usually with 2 shooters. So you take away the album that's included and the second photographer, and it's probably around $2000-2500 for a 8-10 hour day. Let's say 10 hours, that's $200 per hour of shooting time, but there's also PP involved after the event. For an amateur you can't charge anywhere near that.

hmm sounds good probably everyone here know im a new in to all photography stuff
my friend from work ask me how much woudle i take for taking few shots of his brother birthday party in club...
I don't have any superb equipment just a poor ass sony a300 with standard light on it Wondering if i even can take good shoots in dark places cus i know iso going off on alphas

as an amateur I´d tend to selling the photos, not my working hours. the price per photo can depend on things like:

-size
-quality
-is the post editing included?
-do you burn it on CD / DVD?
-do you print it?


Let´s say you charge 20-50 bucks per photo or something ~~

or you just make a all inclusive price that considers your working effort and the amount and quality of the photos you deliver.

1 hour- charge a flat rate, burn a dvd and an 8x10 for Mom and you're done.
shoot no higher than iso 400, use double flash if possible.

don't think i have double flash on a300 : / see that why im pretty worrying about quality of photos in dark club...
i still will go even if he don't gonna like them it will teach me a lesson

do you have an external flash?

I think you will get 50-150 bucks.

(for the whole thing)
