  • Are you struggling with pricing your work? 🤷🏽‍♀️ Pricing is so tough to get right, especially when you're just starting out. Here are a few tips to get you going on your pricing journey 💪🏽 👉🏼 How much would you like to earn per year? This is a good number to start off from. You want to then work backwards and calculate how many weeks per year you want to work and days per week. When you have that number, divide that by how much you want to earn and you’ll get a good starting figure to charge per per day. 👉🏼 What are your yearly expenses? Think about things like rent, insurance, medical costs as well as living costs. You want to ensure that your yearly salary at least covers your expenses. The goal is to ensure you’re earning a healthy profit. 👉🏼 Do you have other revenue streams besides photography? I ALWAYS advise photographers to have multiple revenue streams. If I only relied on restaurant photography, I would have earned no money during lockdown periods from COVID. Think about other ways you can supplement your income such as recipe development, food styling, art direction, sponsored posts and e book. Make sure you’re adding that to your projected earnings. 👉🏼 There are clients for every photographer!💪🏽 It's easy to price yourself lower than feels good out of fear that no other opportunity will come your way. But, - if you're good at what you do and are marketing your services correctly - there WILL ALWAYS be more opportunities around the corner. I promise!💪🏽 #creativefoodphotography #londonfoodphotographer #foodphotographyandstyling #creativityfound #calledtobecreative #postitfortheaesthetic #f52community #beautifulcuisines #hautecuisines #eattheworld #thatsdarling #foodandwine #bombesquade #calledtobecreative #mycommontable #livefolk #momentsofmine #thissimplescene #wherewomencreate #flashesofdelight #foodphotography #foodstyling
