Title: How much you value your photo session?
Post by: lvinst on April 03, 2009, 18:09: Hi!
How much you estimate your photo session? Suppose that photo session takes one working day. And all photos from this session will be uploaded on stocks. How many dollars you planned to earn from this average working day?

Even without considering the time spent afterwards with edition, keywording and uploading, the time you spend in a photo session could have been used for something else - flipping burgers as Flemish often exemplifies, or making technical translations which are always in high demand here.

Or simply enjoying your time, which is priceless (even without Mastercard).
