Work experience?? (please answer)?

We Answered:

Let's see, Limerick only has 91,000 population so it's highly unlikely that a magazine or fashion design firm is located there...cross them off.

On the internet or the telephone directory business pages, look up Photography, Periodicals, Magazines, Newspapers, Opera, Drama, Acting, Stage, and any other key words you can think of that would be used in Ireland.

List those that have nearby or local addresses that you would be able to physically get to for the two weeks. Then call and ask to speak to the manager, explain your assignment and your willingness to do whatever you can if they will allow you the work experience. Be positive, outgoing, friendly....don't act British!!! Act like you are from Kansas or somewhere where people actually like other people and want to help....LOL

Good luck!!!!!!!

How much should I charge for my photography services for a fashion design student?

We Answered:

First you need to decide how your images are going to be used by the student. Is this purely for a personal/education related project or is this for commercial gain i.e. profit.

As a photographer you create images to make your clients profit (hopefully!). So never ever charge based upon time. It is a quick way to make less money than you should and raises all sorts of side issues like "why did it take so long?" from the client!

I wrote a long involved blog post about this which you may like to read here:

Always charge commercial photography assignments based upon the *end use* of your images. If this is truly an educational shoot then agree a fee you feel comfortable with but remember to issue a licence with your invoice to show the rights being granted which should be restricted to "educational and personal use only" or similar.

Good luck with the shoot.
