Regular Portrait Methods: If you don't specialize in children, but shoot all ages, you should still keep 12 years as the top limit for shooting children at the baby-picture rate and with baby-picture technique. Teen-agers should be photographed as adults, with regular portrait methods and at the regular portrait rate of pay for the photographer.On the other hand, there are amateurs who shoot wedding pictures for nothing, or for a few dollars to cover the cost of film, paper, and flashbulbs.Many specialists in baby pictures set age limits for the subjects which they'll accept. Infants younger than six months are not good subjects and neither are adolescents. You might bend your policy to accept the very young babies occasionally, to give a customer special consideration, but you should hold pretty firmly to 12 years as the upper age limit. If you don't specialize in children, but shoot all ages, you should still keep 12 years as the top limit for shooting children at the baby-picture rate and with baby-picture technique. Teen-agers should be photographed as adults, with regular portrait methods and at the regular portrait rate of pay for the photographer.
This kickback is a worthwhile contribution on your part, because it will induce the officers to urge all the members to buy your prints. You can offer to do publicity pictures for any special events arranged by the organization, and for this you should charge your regular fee, since there is a small return here from sales of extra prints. You can offer party picture coverage, along the lines described in Chapter 7, for any social functions arranged by a club, and find this highly lucrative through sales of prints. And then you can go into the portrait aspects of your coverage of the organization. This involves shooting a portrait of every member of the organization, at no charge whatever for the service, and this offer is your ace in the hole for getting yourself assigned as the official photographer for any group. |
