Pay rates and getting clients.

Our take

As a budding photographer in Sydney with over a year of experience in event photography, I charge $90 per hour, which includes unlimited photos and editing time. I often find myself questioning if I'm undercharging, especially when I see others charging $200 to $300 per hour. Equipped with an R5mii and a versatile lens, I've received positive feedback from clients who appreciate my work. I'm eager to gain insights from fellow photographers on pricing and promoting my event photography through an Instagram portfolio.

Hi, I'm a young photographer based in Sydney AUS with 1+ years of experience in event photography such as birthdays, baby showers, business head shots and so on.

I charge around 90 dollars an hour for jobs that i get like once a week or fortnightly, the cost includes unlimited photos till the time i am booked for and includes editing time all in the 90/Hr. Now, on other posts in this subreddit, I have seen people charging 200 - 300 dollars an hour and even with editing costs or $600 minimums it makes me think if I'm undercharging.

Now on to my gear, so you can have an idea of quality, i have an R5mii with a f2.8 24-105 as my main lens paired with a Godox V1c flash. This is my usual go-to setup for an event such as a house birthday or party whatnot.

So it would be nice if any Australia or even American photogrpahers could let me know about my query and i know youd have to see my work to know my quality but i can say it hasnt been said to be as bad photos by any client yet and they usually compliemnt it or not say anything. i learnt all about the camreas exposure and then flash exposure how to use tehm to create well lit and exposed subjects and scenes.

One last thing is i get my jobs through Facebook posts and my portfolio is stored on google drive and so i wanna have a open Instagram portfolio for my event photography how would you guys go about that too?

thanks for reading to all my rambling guys i hope people reply.
