Need a little advise...

I was just wondering if anyone out there has done any ‘commercial’ photography.. I have been asked to do a quote for a job. The job requires taking product images of approx 500 brackets and then making the background transparent.. The job itself is no worries, I just have no idea where to start on the quote..?

Any ideas?

    Most professional photographers in the US [Mid-west] are charging $1800 – $2000 as a day rate.

    Thanks Arlene, do you know if that includes processing as well?

    Lee I have heard the $180 (ex GST) figure bandied about a bit so think that is pretty close to the mark. Usually you charge additional for any editing as well.

    a good way to quote is see what the competition is doing – checkout these sites:

    also, it will tak awhile to deep etch every image… so bear that in mind…
