Hey all,
I know similar questions have been asked before but i've just been asked by a local business to supply 20-30 prints approx A4 size for display on the walls of his office (he wants local area/historical buildings etc, some of which I have already captured)
My question is thus:
How much should I charge for existing work (on top of printing costs, which I would have done professionally by a local lab)
How much should I charge for "commissioned" peices whereby I am asked to photograph structure "A" and therefore have to go out of my way to do so?
If anyone else has done this and is keen to give some advice please do so as I have no idea where to begin. The prospective client has stated he will structure how many he gets around my pricing, for example he will get a whole batch if cheap and if not will pay for smaller batches - but I don't really know what his idea of "Cheap" and "Expensive" really is.
I guess a lot of artwork that is of local things tends to sell in this size or above for quite high prices (from what i've seen, AU$100+), should I perhaps aim at say cost of printing +$20AUD per image (depending on the scale difference obviously) or am I way off the mark?
Any suggestions would be great.
Regards,
Clinton
