Day rate vs. half-day rate-please help! Good morning all, I know this has probably been asked before, but my time restraint limits browsing through the forum. Someone is looking for a photo assistant to transport equipment and keep it clean and organized throughout the day. In the process, I would be learning more about lighting and set-up. It may be a great opportunity for me. It does require considerable travel time, gas, tolls, etc...and the contact person has asked me to come up with both a day rate and a half-day rate. What would be reasonable rates for me to charge??? Thanks in advance for your quick response! -Tami

Hi, Tamra If you type in "day rate" in the Q&A box just above your question, you"ll find 5 pages of related questions and answers. The first question on the first page has one of Mark Feldstein's usual excellent answers. Hope this helps. Bill

Hi Tami !! I think this may be the link to the thread Bill mentioned. http://www.betterphoto.com/forms/QnAdetail.php?threadID=22523 Oh and Tami, if you're looking to assist on a regular basis, you might contact the local chapter of ASMP and sign on as an associate member and get on their chapter certified assistants list. http://www.asmp.org It could be both educational and pretty lucrative for you. ;>)

Hi Mark. I owe you a VERY BELATED Thank you for responding to my question re: day vs 1/2 day rates...back in November! Please know that I do appreciate your response, the thread link, and your ASMP suggestion. I know that you and Bill answer a lot of questions from us lay folk :-), and that translates to a whole lot of time devoted to helping us out. So, thank you, again! Sorry it took so long :-( -Tami

Let's see.... Oh and BTW, depending on whether you're dabbling or actually working in the biz in any capacity, if you want to learn the business ropes, take a look at, and think about joining, EditorialPhotographers.com. This is a great group of photogs, mostly editorial shooters (including me), who regularly discuss biz issues and kick a lot of items around...like, well, editors. Hope you're doing great Tam ! HNY and be well.
