how much!?
How much should I pay my photographer?
First you need to listen to the first three answers in your mind.
1) You have a friend with a bigger size camera and post a few good photos online with some blurry backgrounds. He can do it free.
2) Camera people just walk around. I can do it better
3) I can live with some iPhone photos. These photographers could be expensive.
Here is how professional Photographers generally charge in Perth.
- Student/ Neighbour/ Enthusiastic: $50-$100 an hour. They usually have a camera and take many duplicated shots.
- Button clicker: Typically they have many different locations. or you can find them in shopping centres. From $80 a mini session, they have many props to make your little ones happy. Don't be fooled, they have good lighting usually.
- Professional family/ infant/ sunset chaser/ moment taker : $100-$200 an hour. They have a camera with a couple of lens and an Instagram account. Their photos have shallow dof, with some darker face but dreamy sunset background.
- Designers: $500 minimum. They insist their style. You care about their time more than they care about yours. They design the best for you.
- Photography team: $2000 minimum. Drone, make up artist, massage therapist, videography, 100 pages well designed catalogue...
