Eposure, a UK association that brings blurb photographers together with a companies that need them, recently expelled the results of a consult they conducted about a day rates of UK and U.S.-based photographers. And even yet some competence design that a immeasurable infancy are charging a profession in a photography-saturated world, a opinion isn’t as grave as we might think.
According to a consult data, a infancy of US-based blurb photographers are charging $900 or some-more per day. On a other side of a Atlantic, a infancy of UK photographers are charging between 300 and 700 pounds per day (between $460 and $1100 USD). Here are those charts:
More divulgence than a initial results, however, are the followup charts (also by Eposure) that review these rates with a rates photogs were charging 5 years ago. It turns out rates haven’t decreased opposite a house — what Eposure calls “the ubiquitous perception.â€
The charts uncover that a market, rather than changeable downward in price, has simply turn reduction passive of certain cost ranges. In a US, distant some-more photographers were charging between $700 and $800 5 years ago, though distant fewer were charging between $1,250 and $1,500.
The UK numbers on a other hand, uncover that prices have (in general) left up. Fewer photogs are charging between 100 and 300 pounds, and many some-more tumble into a 1,500-2,000 and 2,000+ categories. As Eposure points out, there are many conclusions as to what these numbers mean. Here are those charts so we can pull your own:
Of course, whenever consult formula are presented, we like to remember a difference of Mark Twain: “There are lies, darned lies and statistics.†In other words: take all with a pellet of salt. Important numbers such as how many days photographers are operative on normal aren’t mentioned ($900 per day is no good if you’re usually operative one day per month), and a consult apparently can’t get an accurate mural of all photographers.
That being said, it’s good to see that a photography marketplace isn’t as dour as some studies have done it seem recently.
