Photo shoot quote

[spaz]

I have been approached to do a shoot for a hairdresser who is entering a competition but have no idea what to quote. I don't have experience with set up shots like this as I prefer candids so don't think that premium rates are an option - she has also said there is more potential work soon.

Should I charge per hour or just one rate? How much? Afterwards there will be postprocessing involved and the same questions apply - per hour / per image? And how much? What would standard rates in Sydney be as I will look towards a percentage of these?

I tried searching the forums but never found anything useful - if there are other threads please point me in the right direction.

i envy you hair test shots are great

as a guide chargign per hour wont really work because you could knock off the shoiot within an hour and if you charged bare minimum $100 per hour you would only get $100

anyway to win this sort of work i would be more concerned about being flexible in order to get more work instead of over charging and scaring the client away

she has also said there is more potential work soon.

Just being cynical (as I am), just be mindful that she maybe saying that just to try to get your price down. I say this as I have seen the promise of additional business (completely different industry mind you) in order to get a benefit now.

Yeah I considered both of those - I actually just called around town for some quotes to get an idea and took note of what I thought of the professionality (is that a word?) and quality of the work to make comparisons.
