The rate includes film and development.
I recently did a studio shoot. I only charged for materials. My time
was free.
It cost the client $220 just in film, studio and development. No prints.
Add in 3hrs of my time in the studio, plus say 2hrs for development
time plus the time it took to rent the studio, go to the colour lab
twice.. Figure another hour of my time. That's six hours total.
At $150 an hour x 3 hrs = $450 charged to the client.
$450 - $220 (film and dev) = $230
$230 / 6hrs = $40/h
I'd say I'm pretty cheap. That doesn't include the cost of my
equipment and the usual hassles of dealing with 6 primadonnas.
