Since there isn't an official "price guide" for what we do I just thought I would share my thoughts on the topic!

[@Propointmedia]

Thank you James!… I find my pricing structure acts as a great filter. Those that do the eye-roll at my prices are typically more likely to not appreciate my craft and understand what it takes to deliver….and usually complain the most.

[@QuantzPhoto]

Great point!

[@ddawgs18]

Nailed it. That’s what took me a little longer to find my pricing because I was honing my craft. Now that I feel more confident in my work I can show that through my pricing. Appreciate your talent James.

[@weableman]

Great video James. So many great points!

[@QuantzPhoto]

Thanks so much!

[@rgrayphotog]

That’s yet another trait of yours… always thinking of ways to help your peers in the industry. 😊
Thank you. 🙏

[@QuantzPhoto]

I appreciate that!

[@kelliejoallison4394]

Great insight! Thank you!

[@TacticalNacho]

You're the most valuable RUclips channel I watch. I appreciate your passion for helping others.

[@QuantzPhoto]

Wow I appreciate that Nacho!

[@markkempton4579]

I think you nailed it out of the gate: create and deliver a product or service that doesn't compete on cost.
Great points. I've been interested in the commercial side of things so I really appreciated your insights here as always!

[@QuantzPhoto]

Thanks Mark!

[@greggeis918]

Thank you very much for sharing your ideas. Would you mind expanding a little more on how you come up with a cost model especially of your gear and how you come up with a “rental rate”? I do this on the side and give away a lot to my teams (the ones my son is on, not ones that hire me) but it would really help limiting to an at cost model I could explain and be consistent on. I would appreciate any more insight you have on it.

[@photobyxnet]

Good video and good points 👍

[@QuantzPhoto]

Thanks 👍

[@johnlopez8453]

I’ve been shooting for about three years now and still “enjoy it” so I’m actually not looking to maximize my profits. My desire to get better still supersedes the money. I hope there’s a way to keep that so it doesn’t become “work”

[@MrDan1509]

Gotta be careful when chatting about work on social media, that's where the wolves hang out. You end up finding said wolves on your jobs shooting from within the shadows so you don't see them.
