Got a first job but what rate?
Hello,
I was shooting for amateur softball leagues to test my camera and lens in NYC but now, they really like my images and wanted to hire for paid assignments. Not every week and all games but not sure how to price it since it will be my first photography job I ever had.
They have tournaments every weekends and each day have up to 5 games. They dont need me to cover every weekend and games but it will be quite often to shoot during the summer and fall seasons. However, since they are an amateur league, I dont think they have a lot of budgets.
I dont expect to get a lot of payments as I only shot sports for 2 years and 10 times for adult games but it would be quite handy as a side job and portfolio. I'm based in NYC so the rate is gonna be high but still, I'll need to discuss with the league in detail to negotiate the price.
How much should I charge per day and game?
