how much would you pay someone to take a picture for you I live in the UK and up to now have not had the desire to commission a
photographer except once on the occasion of the marriage of one of my daughters
- and that about 20 years ago.
Were I to commission a photograph of myself to match the two portraits of
my grandparents (circa 1908) I guess I would start by reckoning that to get by a
photographer would have to be earning around £100 a day. I would consult with
the photographer over the time required for the shoot and the processing, allow
for travel time, materials, and opportunity cost and negotiate from there
on in.
I am an amateur choral singer and I often have to explain to some of my
less aware choristers why it is that to put on a concert with professional
soloists and semi pro orchestral players can cost in excess of £4000 would that
we could house and expect audiences of 500 to enable us to offer concerts at a
price the public seem happy to pay.
