I've been asked by a supplier to the fitness trade to price a shoot for a feature in a national magazine. Some general shots of people using the equipment etc. I'm wondering how to approach the pricing as I wouldn't have much experience with commercial work. Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks

firstly - can you do the job ?

have you checked out the project - do you require extra lighting etc etc

how long will it take ?

do you need to hire models or get model release forms for people who will be photographed (chances are they want pics of good looking people using the equipment...so "tubby mctubb" weighing 25stone is not going to be in the pic - even in the background)

try to keep the background clear - do the shoot when place is close to empty.

* Don't forget model release forms signed by everyone indentifiable in the picture - legally its required.... as it will save you being sued.

I would suggest at least 2 strobes/flashes ...maybe more ....to light the person working out !..... it will make a huge difference if this is done correctly compared to one on-camera flash.

make sure you discuss what they want to use the pics for - so they and you are clear of what they are allowed to do with the pics and what they are not allowed to do. (ie. they prob wont be allowed to sell the prints and make money, but might be allowed to use the images in a calendar promoting the place...or may not be allowed to do this and might be restricted to the designated brief....meh ...you get the picture - pun intended)
