I've been approached to do some occasional real estate photography for a realtor (should I be placing the symbol here ® and capitalising that name ? :twisted: ). The contact came through a builder/architect colleague who I had done some photos for a bit back.
The use would be in the adverts for the local newspaper, and very possibly on the internet listings. They'd want two or at most three representative photos of the house, exterior and maybe an interior.
It would be a little extra cash as I doubt I'd shoot five days a week, but I'd legitimately be selling photos, not "hobby shooting", so I want to play this one carefully.
I'm puzzling over the pricing for this. I'd thought of $100 per house shoot (assuming it's staying within the deliverable of two or three shots), but that seems low on the face of it. OTOH, if I can shoot five houses in an afternoon, that's not at all unfair to me as a return on time.
Any experience with this kind of thing and pricing for it ? TIA
