A neighbor is a painter who sells her work locally. She has her own Web site, but hasn't been happy with the photos she's taken on her own, and she doesn't know how to use process them, with the result they're very washed out.
She'd like to hire me to shoot her paintings and produce JPGs for the Web site as well as files she can use to print notecards.
She's asked me to put together a fee schedule.
Has anyone out there done anything like this?

I did this a few weeks ago for one of my friends. I had no idea how to price it, and thankfully she just made an offer out of the blue that I thought was fair.
She brought about 10 paintings over to my place and I spent probably an hour and a half shooting them. Sat with her after taking them off my camera to make sure she was pleased with the color balance, lighting, etc---that they were accurate representations of her work.
Spent probably another hour cropping, resizing, editing. Then I burned them on a disk and dropped it off for her. She's using them on her website and also to sell prints of her paintings. She offered me $100 and that sounded good to me. For maybe three hours work doing something that I dig anyways??
But I have no idea what the pro's charge for this kind of thing really. |

| you could do it by the piece, or by the hour. work out something that would be fair to both of you. you might even consider working out a trade (that is, if you like her work), or letting her pay you in installments. the trick is to do the work efficiently so that whatever she pays you in the short run will justify the job for you; after that, it's gravy. |
