Budgets
One of the most common failings of would-be professional photographers is the failure to build into their prices fixed costs, depreciation and other costs such as insurance and repairs. As a result, they often set prices that are unrealistic and too low thereby undermining the market. Such photographers are commonly referred to as ‘back yarders' and are generally held in low regard by professional photographers.
