Hey everyone.
First off, I saw THIS thread and although it's similar to my request, not quite what I'm going to ask.
I recently shot my buddies' band (THREAD) with the intention of using the photos in their CD. Which they did. And it looked great.
I didn't charge them because they're pals, but when I was at their CD release show, a member of another band asked me what I charged to do that. Apparently, he liked my shots :dunno:rofl
So my question is this: These are grassroots, garage-styled bands that play for fun and record for quarters and dimes (although Dewey's CD sounds professional). What would an honest price be?
I really don't do photography as anything more than a hobby, but I wouldn't mind making a few bucks off of it. All I did for Dewey was met them at two locations for pictures, slight editing (very, very if at all), and burned them to a DVD. Not a lot of work. I can't imagine this should be too expensive, but I wanted to get some professional opinions.
Ok, thanks for reading.

Free.
... for friends of friends?
100-500, depending on how 'close' of friends. Likely 300.
There, hard numbers for you.
BUT... in all honesty, if I was shooting it, I'd probably try to work a deal with them to hook me up with some good music for my sites.
Here is a wedding website I created for a customer as a value-add. Comments appreciated.

I'm gonna agree with you on that. I would never charge pals money to do what I enjoy, regardless of equipment, experience, etc. And that's a good idea of working something out with the other band. I'll do that if/when they contact me.
Thanks again
