    Its easy to say something like “my camera for this shoot costs $5k, you could rent it for $300 a day and do it yourself” but people dont really care about art or skill. If youre shooting a wedding, for example, there are hundreds of little candid moments that your friend John the Designated Driver wouldn’t catch that Natalie GirlWhoDoesThisForALiving would.

    Not to mention there aren’t enough weddings a day to sustain someone for $300 per, and youre competing with others, and blah blah blah.

    I tend to follow my instinct of “your art is worth whatever you say it is”. If i like your art and i like your price, ill pay it, no haggling. If i dont like one or either, i apologize for wasting your time.
