How much should I charge for my food photography work? What kind of salary can or should I expect as a food photographer? These are questions I get asked by my ecourse students. mentoring clients and online community every single week! And, I understand why, it’s so confusing to know what to charge when there aren’t any set standards or any clear income guidelines available.
Many of the creatives I work with come to food photography after years in a 9-5 job, where salaries are generally streamlined, transparent and clear. The world of freelance work - especially the world of freelance food photography work (or any photography or creative profession, frankly), is much more muddled when it comes to one’s income. It’s why I wrote this bog post, to inform you what you can expect to make as a food photographer and answer as many of your money questions as I can in the process!
