Re: Selling Portraits or Scared by all the cheap prices
Ok...I was a Mickey D's yesterday and saw a "pro" photog there with a bag from Rite Aid filled with photographic 4x6 envelopes...he was talking to some guy there with a few photo albums. I said "hi " then I realized he was showing his finished "portraits" to this other guy. It hit me what was going on...I excused myself and sat down.
This "pro" was giving his "client" his "finished " wedding portraits...complete with the Rite Aid bag that the prints came in!!!!!!!! Wow! I immediately thought of this thread. After the groom left the photog came over to talk to us...I found out he charges $995 for full day coverage, all the prints and the negatives. I am definitely going to raise my prices!
There is a niche for everyone...he has his and I've got mine...vey interesting though...makes you think.
