What's the experience you have what's the photo shoot for etc etc
It's a very sticky subject.
If you're doing a 5 hour shoot wedding for example go for a 500+ $ charge.
If it's a small type deal I say go for a 75$/hour deal.
Dont forget to specific advanced deposit charges, cancelation fees, try to sneak in extra charges for film and development.
There's a lot you can require upfront and get away with. |

No offense but, you don't sound very professional. A rental is a bad idea if you've never used it. No one is going to want to sit for a portrait while you fiddle around with an unfamiliar camera.
I'd have them just pay for your expenses. That's if you can do a decent job. |
