Alright I know there have probably been alot of post like this, here is my job. I did some shots around the downtown area of Naples,fl for a friend and his new Business I thought it would be a favor but He really wants to pay me :D. The shots will be used on his website and also for some brochures. any thought to what to charge for this kind of work. thanks

but you will have to factor in your relationship with your friend.

Here's an idea. Tell your friend that because of the friendship you won't charge him a production fee, but will ask for $125.00 per image for non-exclusive unlimited license for his own use.

Don't forget, he's hoping to use YOUR photos to help him make money. There ya go. One free idea.:wink

Looks like all gave great advice...but remember to get your credit line(s) also.....I would ask for a small ad....something like: Photos provide by _______________ contact at:______________email:________________

Beat me to that recommendation (BTW, welcome to Dgrin!). You might also want to take a look at Fotoquote.

This will give both you and your friend a feel for what the market value is for these shots. Then you can give him however much of a buddy discount you want.

Funny thing is, I'm doing a shoot for a friend & a groups he's involved in this weekend myself. He is paying me, and I'll be selling prints to them. I am getting paid and he is getting a buddy discount. Sometimes that's how you get your foot in the door. :deal
