Hi! As a recent Photography graduate, I am beginning to be contacted by clients for freelance photography - what is a good rate to charge?

I have previous experience shooting commercial property photographs for businesses, but my experience is limited.

  • You can charge per item or by the hour. It depends on what type of project it is, how good your work is and how labour intesive it is. Always factor in any expenses/travel etc.

  • @Stefan Jakubowski thank you very much! I’ll be sure to give it a read :)
  • I found this a really useful resource regarding day rates, also has good info on buyout rates:
