Starting Out In The Business And Lower Paying Jobs

Q:

Since I’m just starting out in the business, should I price myself a bit lower and work my way up? Can I get away with a smaller budget and get the same results?

A:

Normally, newer photographers can take on lower-paying jobs to help build their portfolios. Right now, you may be competing for these lower-paying jobs with more established photographers, but if you’re willing to offer additional services like extra time, post-work, video, etc., you’ll have a better chance of getting the job. Ultimately, the client wants to be reassured that you can handle the project, so make sure to reassure them and be flexible with budgets.
