Advertising Photography – What some Photographers are charging!

Jose Fernandez

It’s amazing what some advertising photographers in the US are charging or at least trying to charge these days.

The below link was sent to me today regarding advertising estimates, it includes a few examples, take a look for yourself.  I wish I could charge for the phone calls I make while on a job and stay in 5 star hotels! This is definitely what you call an itemized estimate.

This may be useful information for some Photographers and up and comers, and could be a real eye opener for others that they are possibly under charging. Or will some photographers start over charging then see a significant drop in business?

Apparently the Photographer quoting actually got the job, good on him I say.

Take a look at the estimate and the heated discussion that followed!

    Considering that it’s the US where the budgets are much, much bigger than they are here, $12,000 Creative Fee per shot, with world wide usage seems very reasonable. Unfortunately these days in Australia, the reality is far from what is reflected in those estimates.

Jose Fernandez

7dWARNING: Nerdy tech content. The Canon EOS 7D is a new 18 megapixel digital SLR camera. Incorporating a new APS-C CMOS sensor, the Canon 7D features dual DIGIC 4 processors, an ISO range expandable to 12,800, and a 19-point cross-type AF sensor. There’s also continuous shooting at 8 frames per second, 3 inch LCD screen with 920k dots, viewfinder with 100% magnification, and Focus Colour Luminance metering system (iFCL) which measures focus, colour and luminance across 63 zones.

The Canon EOS 7D is equipped with an Integrated Speedlite Transmitter.  For the first time in an EOS, photographers can control external Speedlites with no additional accessories – ideal for those looking to experiment with creative lighting set-ups.  The EOS 7D also features an extensively upgraded, built-in flash including manual control, and wider flash coverage to cover focal lengths as wide as 15mm.

The Canon EOS 7D Digital SLR camera is scheduled to be delivered to U.S. dealers at the end of September, and will be sold in a body-only configuration at an estimated retail price of $1,699.00. It will also be offered in a kit version with Canon’s EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM zoom lens at an estimated retail price of $1,899.00.
