I have seen my income increase dramatically since starting this way of charging a couple of years ago and have never looked back. Thanks for the great site. cheers Paul Dymond www.dymond.com.au pauldymond.blogspot.com Thanks for that PP,

If the requirement was 40 images the BUR would be higher. I would not charge 4 x the 10 image rate unless the 40 images would take 4 x as long (there has to be a bit of discount for volume traded off against the *costs* of the time taken to produce). i.e. if I could produce 20 images for this particular shoot in 1 day then BUR would be say 1.75 x the 10 image rate. Client gets discount for volume and I get another .75 x the BUR for the same day's work. PP Hi Paul,

What if they needed 40 images? If your charging on a per image basis then I assume that your fee goes up then? How many images does your BUR cover?
