Commercial Photography Rates

Many photographers charge their hourly rate for travel. My local area competition charges half of their hourly rate for travel. All fees are charged, bridge tolls, parking and any other incidentals to getting to the shoot.Photography day rates vary according to the area and the expertise and reputation of the photographer. A good mid-range day rate would be from $1,000.00 to $1,500.00 for the day. This rate is for shooting time only.Images are priced according to usage. If you are not sure about this, check out the ASMP Website for more information on usage.Proofing and editing are separate charges usually based on a standard digital imaging per hour charge. In my area, many imagers charge a mid-range price of $65.00 per hour. You can check around and also look at local graphic artists' rates.Many commercial photographers charge a day (or half day) rate that includes a specific number of edited images.Event photographers may charge work for hire rates for the entire event. In this case, the only charge is for the total hours worked, travel and incidentals. All the images are burned or uploaded to the Web and given to the client.
