Oh, I don't know, at least the legal minimum wage per hour you want to hire me for? Maybe a little more thrown in there to cover the legally required public liability insurance and enough to keep clothes on my back? If you think a photographer is charging too much, ask what it is you are getting for that money and don't turn you nose up at the answer, it may all seem like background costs to you, but without things like insurance, tax and minimum wage, you would be entering an illegal employment agreement for unfair working standards.
