I'm in the position that you describe, and I've been wondering what needs to happen for me to move from the you-pay-for-equipment-and-prints, I'll-do-it-for-nothing business model into the profit model. <BR/><BR/>Turns out, it's my mindset that needs changing. <BR/><BR/>Eye-opener.David Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16455648886410560284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1956013013256424256.post-61669351520037594832007-09-17T14:00:00.000-05:002007-09-17T14:00:00.000-05:00Great advice!

I do not like charging family (immediate family) and I do have sometimes trouble charging friends for work I do.<BR/>I have been doing "pro-work" only for a few months now. Portraiture is not my strong point. So if someone is willing to give me their time to let me practice, I then it is wonderful. I guess whether or not I charge money for it is whether or not I am in control of the kind of images we take. Meaning: if someone models for me and I can experiment with poses and it is mainly work for my benefit, then I do not charge, if they ask me to take a family picture so they can make presents to their mom and dad - I charge. But I think i still don't charge enough if I charge. ;)Mellimagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15391059166864599753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1956013013256424256.post-85868538789717659782007-09-04T23:21:00.000-05:002007-09-04T23:21:00.000-05:00I am so glad this was helpful!
