Hi -- a real estate friend of mine asked me if I'd be interested in a project. It would be for stock photos. He mentioned they'd be interested in 4 or 5 images of 12 different spots within the county that their company serves (a radius of about 30 minutes of travel). Although I know I have the flying/editing skills needed to get this done I have no idea how to charge -- by image, hour, day, or total time/full project?? and how much? FYI - I live in Massachusetts.
I do have a 107 but have not really done much paid biz. One thing I'm concerned about is overpricing and not getting the gig, and I don't want to underprice it and look like a shmuck. I know there are full-time professionals out there that their company has probably worked with but my friend (who I've done a couple of shoots for) is trying to slip me in the side door so pricing is important for him to sell it to the company owners. If you can provide me any intel on how to charge I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance!
