That's a fine portfolio, Bruce. What kind of reaction have you been

Thanks, Dan! It's not a formal portfolio though. I just selected all the
portrait and related shots from my 500px stream and made this to test
the portfolio feature of 500px. I'm evaluating whether I'm going to fork
over actual money to them for so-called Awesome features.

Seems to be a niche I really enjoy. I've also done male portraits, pet
portraits and lots of other stuff like classic car detail, flower macros
(well, who hasn't?), etc. But I seem to be drawn to the unique
challenges in photographing people, in particular women, so I keep
returning to it.

I have no idea what you should charge for something like that. However
if prints are included in the fee you have to make sure that you cover
that cost.
The biggest problem I see is marketing. You have to let people know
that you're available for that kind of work.

I'd guess that $200 to shoot a game would be a bit closer to beer money
than making a living. You could do something like $200 for the first kid,
$100 for the second, $75 for each up to 5 and $1000 for the team.

BTW, a combination of a low fee and modest print prices seemed to be the only
method that really produced results when it came to shooting kids. There's a
lot of competition out there. And I found that the idea that the first $100
worth of prints were already paid for resulted in a larger total
Hi Frank - I can't give you any advice on price, but there is one
thing you might check out.
Some leagues have a contract with a photographer that will grant
exclusive rights to any photography sales. You'll never see the guy
until he hears that you're selling pictures, then he'll pop up from

I think that the hardest work you will do - and that will demand the
most talent - is selling yourself and your abilities to provide what
most people think they can do themselves.
