What is industry standard for a photo shoot?
 

How much should one person pay to have someone come in and take photos of the talent?

Just one shoot.

Depends on who the shooter from free to thousands of dollars.

bumpppppp

depends on the amount of time needed and the quality. $200-$500 for a 6 hour day would work. -bmb

Depends on how good the shooter is.

Most won't do anything for less than $400-$600.

This guy just quoted me 2k lol

You want quality lighting equipment, quality photography equipment, and color calibration / correction work. If someone does all of this for you then you do end up saving $$$ in the long run because you didn't have to buy all that equipment or do all that work to get the photos you want.

I'd advise that you to also shoot video simultaneously. Two birds one stone.

500 - 1000 is probably about right - plus expenses - really depends on what kind of production it is

The photographers make more than the content?

If he's a good shooter and gives up the copyright to you (you own pictures), that would be a just about right.

Mainly depends on whether or not he gets a blowjob from the female talent.

ask FTV chris ;)

:1orglaugh

Shooter should get pretty close to what the talent gets. Good talent, pay a good photographer...bad talent, hire an amateur.

the question requires more details for a qualified answer. $2k is a lot, but some portrait photogs with big names are probably that high, generally adult shooters are less costly.

come invest all the time and money it takes to be a good shooter and see how many dbags don't wanna pay shit for photos. you get what you pay for. what are the usage rights needs to be the main question.
