Nine Inconvenient Business Facts for Aspiring Photographers | Black Star Rising Photography Blog

Nine Inconvenient Business Facts for Aspiring Photographers | Black Star Rising Photography Blog:

"Fact #5. If you charge for your time at an hourly rate, the better you get at completing an assignment, the less you are being paid for your talents. Although an hourly rate may work when you are covering a luncheon or an all-day conference, it doesn’t work on most other assignments. Banish “day rate” from your vocabulary before it costs you.

Fact #6. Just because a client says they won’t pay for something, that doesn’t mean you must accept and work under those terms. You have the power to say no."
