BUSINESS OF PHOTOGRAPHY

How would you market?

By giving work away for free, photographers are raising the expectations that professional photography is available at no cost. After people see the good quality of your work than you can start marketing your business. The last piece of the equation is the profit margin, which will determine your take-home income. While the industry average is around 50%, it often differs from project to project. For example, you may want to lower your profit margin to offer a lower price on services in an area you want to break into (e.g., corporate events). In exchange, the client will allow you to use the photos in your marketing materials.

What would you charge?

The cost-of-goods-sold (COGS) is the total cost required to produce a good or service, including labor and materials. Let’s say you’re providing clients with a set of prints. The COGS should represent the cost of the print, post-production charges, packaging, and shipping costs. Running your own business means you have to pay various taxes based on your business structure and revenue amount. Make sure your account for the taxes you need to pay in your pricing and set the amount aside, so you don’t get unpleasant surprises come tax time. Time is money, yet many photographers underestimate the value of their time and labor when pricing their services. Aside from the time at the actual photo session, the hours you spend meeting with the client, doing pre-production, traveling to the site of an assignment, setting up the equipment, and conducting post-production activities should all be factored into your pricing.

What would you include in a contract?

Your P&L statement will show you the cost of running your business, including equipment costs, office/studio rental, marketing expenses, professional fees. The P&L statement is basically your contract explaining your business and its products, also prices and the revue you bring in.
