The average shooting fee for a class reunion is around 30,000 to 200,000 yen. (When detained for half a day)
Fees also fluctuate greatly depending on the compatible cameraman, but fees fluctuate depending on the cameraman's restraint time, shooting details, and distance from the cameraman's base to the shooting location.
When requesting photography from a photographer (cameraman who takes photos), it is necessary to check whether the photographer can shoot in the content/genre as a major premise.
If a photographer publishes works taken in the past, it is better to check whether photos of a similar genre to the work they are considering shooting are posted in their portfolio, and whether the tone of the photo is close to what they want.
For example, if you want to ask for a photo shoot for a business profile, but such a photo work is not posted or presented, or if you have no shooting experience in the first place, or if you are a photographer who mainly takes pictures of children even though it is a request for business photography, it may be a mismatch.
If past clients have been disclosed, it is important to check client information as well.
There are also many photographers who don't dare to disclose information about past works or clients, so it's a good idea to check with each photographer.
If a budget has been decided in advance, one method is to tell the photographer about the budget in advance.
The cameraman side also has the advantage of being able to adjust the shooting volume and suggest alternatives when the budget does not suit, for example.
The shooting fee mainly depends on the photographer's restraint time, the difficulty level of the shooting content, and what kind of budget the requesting photographer himself usually works with. If you are a skilled photographer who is constantly receiving shooting requests for high shooting fees on a regular basis, there is a high possibility that the estimated fee will naturally increase.
From the standpoint of a cameraman, it is difficult to present a shooting fee if the details of the request are vague.
When submitting an estimate request, it is possible to request a smoother shooting by sharing the shooting date, shooting location, meeting time, shooting location, specifically what kind of photos you want to take, presence or absence of retouching after shooting, and various materials so that you can make as specific an image of the shooting as possible.
TOTTA can solicit shooting requests from the entire network of registered professional photographers.
It is a mechanism where an estimated fee is received from photographers who have shown interest in the shooting content. If you use such a public recruitment function, you will be able to search for photographers more smoothly.
