This past week I sent a quote on our largest project ask for $20k and it did not move forward. The client is a US based publishing company that wanted us to shoot over 200 images for a fitness book that would show exercise techniques, and was to be sold worldwide. Photography for commercial purposes is not just based on time involved, but the value it provides back to the client. With no images, there’s no book which makes them highly valuable + client gets to sell worldwide, indefinitely.
