To buy or not to buy?
good information thank you
8 hour wedding and you're only doing 80 – 100 images!?!?!? WTF!?!?!?
Honestly the hard thing about pro photographer vs non pro photographer. Is often the non professional has better skills.
@2:07 and none for Gretchen….
Numbers don't lie 💰
I could be way off on this, but if you need to rent a 70-200 lens you aren't doing professional work regularily.
Awesome information thank you. Earned a liked and a subscribe.
Great video Lizzie! Really clear breakdown.
I've been doing this for a few decades, have experience in many areas, have expensive gear, and there are still MANY tire kickers. One reason I just shoot for myself now.
had to replay cause you have on screen $60 x $200=$260; 60×200 is 12000; I was taking notes and I noticed it. if you want to fix it? but love this topic thanks the video
Just the video I’ve been looking for!! 🔥🔥🔥 DIRECT AND STRAIGHT TO THE POINT! Idk why but when people walk up to me while Im shooting and ask “how much you charge” I’m never comfortable giving a price. Although people like my work I’m always weary of saying a number.
Thank you Lizzie!
I don't understand why we're charging for gear we already own though? Is that like charging for gas and mileage on your car if you drive for a living, like to cover wear and tear?
I feel like 100$ a shoot is a good price ppl won’t even do that 😢😂sadly they think they’re getting 200 pics in reality it’s 20 …not bad imo
Who is paying 1500 for 2hours ?
I know this is more of a guide and not a copy and paste video as far as the numbers are concerned but thank you, thank you! I have seen so many generalize information videos that don’t give you any numbers to work with which meaning you watch a ten minute vid and still have no clue. Awesome video.
Thank you for this information! I keep wondering, what about license fee? 🙂
It's always good to see videos like this where actual price ranges are given instead of the person saying "I can't give a price because it depends on where you live". Thanks for the clarity Lizzie.
the most helpful video I've seen! Thank you a ton
Thank you so much for the breakdown, starting photographer here and this was super helpful.. plus your funny comments just grasp the viewer also keep on posting I got my notifications on and will be watching more! Thanks Lizzie!
I had to laugh at the knock at 4:22. I had nodded off in front of the computer. (It's me, not you.) And it woke me up. LOL
As a pro photographer i would like to diss agree with this … On a large scale .. ofcourse thats how a cost breakdown would work.
But if you charge like 1,500 for a 2 hour
Shoot then damm ill fly to that place and still do it at that price..
Ps – i got expensive gear like the R5 / 70-200/ 100mm rf 2.8 and 6 other lenses and flashes and what not .
This video gave me the confidence to charge 4000$ with little no experience
This video made me feel bad about what i charge
1500$ for two hours? Get out of here 😂
I was a photographer for a three decades and went though from music to advertising including everything. Working for big clients, magazines, etc. Pricedrop started about 15 years ago as the digital era has arrived, the clients started to offer less and less year by year, even top newpapers for cover shots. A few years ago an oil company hired me as a communication supervisor and lead content creator. Stability, high income plus extras, traveling a lot and never on economy, 5 star etc. Sad but the photography as a professional is dead. I am a hobby shooter now with Hassys – enjoying it.
I hope your results aren’t as sloppy as your graphics.
$60 RENTAL x $200 PACKAGE = $12,000
So I’m pretty certain you meant
$60 RENTAL + $200 PACKAGE = $260
You might suggest
“Best to check your work before pressing SEND”
I absolutely love your advice, it makes perfect sense for….USA. How about for someone who lives in a third world country? $2000 dollars is what middle class earns in a month. So how do I charge the right price? I’ll appreciate your input, thanks!
All this video told me is that I'm SEVERELY undercharging 🤣🤣😫😭
I never rent gear, got my own flash, camera, lens 24-70 f/4 (need to get a 200mm) but always, I use my own gear and all the stuff
Beautiful girls like this get all the luck
You go glen coco 😂😂😂💕💕💕 great video
Great content but honestly I subscribed because you said we love money over here and I 1000% agree with that
