Makes perfect sense. That was a good tip for a new photographer. At least they START CHARGING. That’s always the hardest part when you have never charged a person for “Services performed.” Nice vid Adrian! 😎

I am just getting started. I got myself a Fuji X-T4 and I have the kit 18-55 lense and just purchased a viltrox 56 1.4 for portraits. I really want to get into shooting portraits for a profit for a side hustle/part time job. I think the hardest part for me is going to be how to pose people.

I just spent 45 minutes on LinkedIn learning looking for videos on pricing. I could not find any that explained pricing in simple terms like you did in your videos. I have the camera and editing skills and now I have a good Idea what I should start charging for my services. I also Subscribed to your channel.

This video was super helpful. I’m a pretty experienced photographer in all other areas however I have never got into portrait photography because I always made exuses like not having the right gear for it or the possibility people wouldent be happy with my product. I ended up deciding it was time for me to get outside of my comfort zone and do what I have wanted to do for a while. So I bought the Nikon d850 with a Nikon AF-S 85mm f/1.4G lense. This video helped me to decide that I think I should charge 50 dollars for now to see where I am at and make sure the customer is happy and work my way up from there!

[BGTuyau]

Competence, confidence and comfort are essential. Thanks for the simple reminder.

[MamboMedia]

Definitely got value from this video. I found your channel about a week ago, subscribed and have watched over 40 of your videos lol. I'm looking to start my photography business early next year and your videos have definitely helped.

Thank you so much. I got hit up for my first shoot and was thinking of just doing it free and saying "spread the word". But if the word spreads, I have no confidence in charging! Very scary! Thank you again :)

I’ve been a photographer for my high school newspaper and college newspaper for 8 years and I feel like Im at the confidence level with my equipment that I charge $100-250 for a photo session depending on whether its a 1 or 2 hour session. I’d be curious to hear what you think of that price point and how I can market it as a good deal considering some photographers charge upwards of $500 for a portrait session. I also tend to do environmental portraits because I don’t own a studio space.

Mindset is a necessary conversation for newbies, and would even be a great refresher to those of us who are experienced.

New subbie…that was super helpful & made sense. I was afraid to charge due to lack of confidence so I did the shoots free. Tyvm Adrian

[CDeeez]

Thanks for this. This was something I needed to hear.

I basically waited until my client offered to pay... That was about a year and then my photography started getting good. My prices went from nothing to $60 when I had my first paying client to $75 for 20 min mini sessions and $225 for an hour session

[TheRBYiv]

You handled a tuff question really well

[DannyoptixandOdin]

Thanks! I really needed guidance! This was very helpful!

[mariefolie]

Thank you. I actually started taking photos to be a smart-ass, dumb story, but I got booked. I have been an officiant for years and realized I have been undercharging for my services by hundreds of dollars. So I made my contract and listed my price as $100 an hour, but I plan to change it immediately after my first shoot lol.

[davidpatrick]
