Hi Everybody:- First of all let me apologize to Peter, I'm not a fulltime photographer, I know I don't meet your expectations of a professional but I present myself professionally and I am actively promoting my abilities in my little corner of the world. Just not full time yet! So I hope the participants here can help with some of your great advice.
I would like you , my peers, to take a look at my site and specifically the action flyer on the first page of the main site.
Click on the Action flyer icon, bottom left of the page.
Photos-Now (http://www.photos-now.ca)
The Flyer is going to be mailed in March to the leagues and coaches of the teams.
I may be opening a can of worms here but all best business practices mean nothing if you can't sell your work. *I am offering a CD of all the action shots during one game for $ 150.00 per team, both teams have to buy. *If I was to try the printing on site event photography business model, I would have to have a trailer, multiple computers for viewing stations, multiple staff for processing and sales, etc. *With all that invested I would maybe make $ 300 - $ 500 a weekend in my pocket. *Now if I can shoot two games a weekend I will put that same money in my pocket without having to invest in all the other equipment over and above my cameras.
So my friends, look at the flyer tell me what you think.
And --- *What do you think about my reasoning on the pricing.
Best Regards to all
