So, I'm planning to at least attempt to start an exotic photoshoot business, but I'm not sure what some of the specifics should be. If you don't mind me asking, what is a reasonable price to charge, if any? And do any of you actually do framing or do you let the owner handle that to their liking?

Thanks!


Make a LOT of connections.

I charge 50$ a shoot for the dealer I work a lot with but mostly because it's consistent business. It's usually more... but I enjoy it and money isn't a huge issue. Sometimes you have to start free just to get out there. Get contact info and then arrange a TIME and a PLACE. :)


(Done a lot of stuff since last post but here's a Granturismo from today...really soft car but it's still nice a has a decent pull)

When it comes to shoots, i dont charge for taking the pics. Why do that when there are 10 other kids that will do it for free with just as good of quality. Its much better to just make friends and have awesome expericances with them, instead of using them to just shoot cars, ya feel?

Totally understand, however you can always have amazing experiences...make friends....and some income too. People often take you more seriously if you're not working for free too.
