Tell me that you’ve never tried to find market rates for photography services.

That you’ve never tried to google, “rates for food photography services.”

That you’ve never been totally confused about the fee structure for photography.

You have. Haven’t you?

Because that's what happens with all of us.

When we are starting out there is a huge question mark that appears in our minds and it’s all about money.

Unfortunately, there are no benchmarks, no rules, no standards and no information available online or easily that we can use as a guide to price our work - which makes it crazy difficult to know whether we are doing it right or not.
That’s why, today we continue our conversation with Joanie Simon on everything about pricing and setting our rates. This episode is part 2 of the pricing series and it is more power packed than you can imagine.

In this episode, Joanie digs a little deeper and gets into the specifics of negotiating & increasing rates. We discuss how to know if you’re overcharging or undercharging, when to work for free and big mistakes to avoid when setting your rates.

Oh and she shares an experience that completely changed the way she priced her work.
This part will blow your mind.

Setting your fee when you’re starting out is as tough as increasing your fee as you move forward in your journey. At every stage of our creative business, we are posed with fee-related situations that require us to be strong and confident.

As creative photographers, we just want to take pretty photos. Looking at rate cards or excel sheets or expenses isn’t exactly our favorite part.

But the truth is that, if we are not making money, we cannot call ourselves a business. Money is as important as everything else and dealing with it with confidence is essential.

It is not easy but also not tough.

This episode will give you that boost and also a peek into the world of pricing in food photography.
