One of the most frequent question I see other photographers asking is "how much should I charge for my services or prints?" Pricing your photography can be tricky, no matter what genre of photography you are engaged with. As such, it was awesome to have a conversation with this week's guest on Episode 305 of the F-Stop Collaborate and Listen podcast.

This week I had a blast speaking with Walid Azami. Walid is a photographer and commercial director living in Los Angeles and originally from Kabul, Afghanistan. He photographs celebrities, commercial products, and a lot more while offering his services as a coach and mentor to other photographers relating to business practices and pricing.


On this week's episode, we discuss:


  • Similarities between landscape photography and other genres as it relates to pricing and monetization.

  • The biggest mistakes photographers make in relation to pricing their photography.

  • Determining when monetization is worth pursuing.

  • Strategies for pricing your artwork and services.

  • Dealing with customers that low-ball you.

  • How to differentiate yourself as a photographer in the crowded marketplace we find ourselves in.

  • Advice for how to start thinking monetization of your work.

  • And a lot more!
