How much should I charge? This is a question that so many of you have asked that I have posted it for all to use my tips.
It is a good idea not to under charge or over charge a production. Some productions are use to pay $2000 a day to a makeup artist and
when you say you charge only $200, they may be a little concerned about your services.
So what is a professional to do in a case like this? If I am not sure who am I dealing with or what there budget is, I'm straight forward and I
ask them. Here is the magic question: What is your budget for this shoot as far for a makeup artist and makeup supplies (KIT Charge)?
If they answer "Well we don't know. How much do you charge?" You then say: "My rate varies. Let me know your minimum and maximum
budget and I will see what I can do for you."
Get them to give you a number. You would be surprised how many times I have heard a number that was bigger than what I had in mind.
And don't forget if the number is average like $ 250-ish per day, you can always ask for: "How about $300; could we do it for 3?"
It is called the "Art of Negotiation." I teach all of these in my classes and, my friend, you just hired me for free!
