Business advice needed
Apr 27, 2012 20:49:39 #
I received a call today from a friend who has a casino party business. The majority of their parties are for business clients. He would like to offer his clients the opportunity to have their casino party photographed. His proposed plan would be for him to add me as an approved vendor and I would photograph the event and bill the client seperately for the photographic services and products.
I currently sell my photos on a photo hosting website and I also sell directly at arts and arts/crafts shows. I am very comfortable with my selling prices for my photos, however I have absolutely no idea what to charge for doing "on site" photography.
I am wide open for any ideas and advice.
Many thanks

Hummm... Business clients.... Hummmm.... Wives with them ? No??? Hummm... Don't see a big possibility of too many wanting pictures to show at home....
I can see the possibility of maybe some legal problems here... Might want to think this over....
Wives with them.... Go for it.....

don...yeah a lot of thought has to go in to this which is why I posted but let's say the events are husband/wife and on the up and up (remember for the most part these are sponsored and paid for community and corporate businesses...what's your thinking on price setting for photos taken? Releases etc
I'm thinking I will set an upfront charge just to show up prepared to shoot.

It's not a casino like you would find in Las Vegas. The casino party company does both private parties and also for businesses, charities, fund raisers etc. The idea has really caught on here in the Dallas/Ft Worth area. If I do it, I would be hired by the entity sponsoring the party with the proper releases and agreed upon pricing.

I have never paid for a photo at Disneyland,Knott Berry Farm, or any other attraction but most attractions have photographers milling around taking pictures to sell. Go to a few attractions and see what they charge in your area and charge an average price for your work.
