A friend told me I was charging way too little for product photos and it stung at first
I started doing product photography for local makers in Portland about 6 months ago. My first gig was $50 for 10 photos and I thought that was fair. A friend who runs an Etsy shop said she pays $150 for the same thing and asked why I was giving my work away. I sat down and figured out my time plus editing was taking me like 4 hours per batch. I bumped my rate to $120 for 10 photos and actually got more serious inquiries after that. Has anyone else had someone close to them call out their pricing like that?

Yeah that hit me too. Raising my prices ACTUALLY brought in better clients.

Whoa wait, you guys both did that? @wyattramirez I need to know what you saw change with your woodworking clients specifically. Did the flaky people just stop messaging you or did the whole vibe of the conversations shift?
