One of the most frequent question I see other photographers asking is "how much should I charge for my services or prints?" Pricing your photography can be tricky, no matter what genre of photography you are engaged with. As such, it was awesome to have a conversation with this week's guest on Episode 305 of the F-Stop Collaborate and Listen podcast. This week I had a blast speaking with Walid Azami. Walid is a photographer and commercial director living in Los Angeles and originally from Kabul, Afghanistan. He photographs celebrities, commercial products, and a lot more while offering his services as a coach and mentor to other photographers relating to business practices and pricing.

On this week's episode, we discuss:

  • Similarities between landscape photography and other genres as it relates to pricing and monetization.
  • The biggest mistakes photographers make in relation to pricing their photography.
  • Determining when monetization is worth pursuing.
  • Strategies for pricing your artwork and services.
  • Dealing with customers that low-ball you.
  • How to differentiate yourself as a photographer in the crowded marketplace we find ourselves in.
  • Advice for how to start thinking monetization of your work.
  • And a lot more!
