Salary When Starting Career in Photography
I have been offered a job photographing with a professional wedding photographor taking candid photos of the day and also taking photos in black and white of the wedding party. I will be using my own equipment and will also be learning at the same time. I will have my certificate in photography in December. I was asked to come up with a salary. What would you advise? I have little idea were to start.

Well this is a hard thing to come up with. I am a professional wedding and portrait photographer, and when I use new talent to help out as an assistant, I start them out at about $10.00 hr in US funds, and I pay according to the way they work. Stay away from a monthly payment, work per assignment. Most of my assignments last about 9 to 12 hours so a good point of reference is $10 per hour. When you are shooting for a while and have proven your skill, ask for a percentage of the total sales from the images you created. Best of luck, Ken
