What should I be charging for gigs and do you think I’ve charged to much? Hello, I’m a freelance photographer who’s started taking on clients over the past year or so.

This is a good deal, right? submit…

Should I get a flash for sunny day? if so which kind? Thanks! Hi Looking back at vacation photos, alot of of people’s faces are dark because they were wearing hats.
