Hello Fellow Photogs,

If I will get into a photography and video coverage business and hired photographer and videographer (services only, I'll provide the equipment) ) , how much should I pay them, or how should I pay them, by contract price or by time they will be in the service
need inputs from you guys,

thanks
joel

hi joel, the talent fee or professional fee varies from photographer to photographer and videographer to videographer, no two are alike in terms of skills , talent , creativity. depends din sa budget ng outfit nyo as to how much you are willing to shell out. main photographer / videographer 's tf is different from back ups.

first determine how much and how your client s paying you. i guess everything is dependent on that because you don't want your hired photographer making more than what you are making. maybe pin dow a percentae of your gross or net take- your choice.

ok, here's sort of a rough estimate. Manila rate.

weddings

videographer with cam 4-5k
videographer without cam 2-2.5k

photographer with cam 3.5-5k
photographer without cam 2-2.5k

drivers and lightsmen - 400-500

Birthdays and Baptismals

photo / video without cam - 1-1.5k
photo / video with cam - 2.5-3k
drivers / lightsman - 300-400

hope it helps.
ofcourse, the actual price would really depend on the skill of the photographer or videographer.
