    Hi Tumi,

    You can approach this 2 ways!

    Charging a day rate or a project fee.

    If you go with the day rate approach, you’re looking at something along the below:

    - Shoot day Per Person: £550/£750 plus expenses (travel parking etc)
    - Edit days: £250/£400

    Going with the project fee approach is sort of similar to the day rate approach. Work out what you’ll charge for your shoot and editing days and add a little buffer on top.

    I personally try as much as possible to go with the project fee approach, it’s more profitable.

    Check out the below link to further your knowledge:

    Good luck and all the best,
    Drew
