Why do I charge different fees for ID photos and video photos?

Because the services involved are different.

Image photography should not just take pictures. Portrait photography by modern professional photographers is not the concept of traditional photography at all. The key to photography lies in understanding and design, not just physical labor. Good portrait photography is first of all to understand the characters, design the appropriate shape and dress collocation, and at the same time, consider what angle, how to compose the composition and how to use the light.

There is also the most crucial thing to mobilize your emotions, what state to present and so on. This series of thinking requires the photographer's brain to keep a high degree of operation during the shooting process, to discover, to understand, and to constantly find ways to try and guide the photographer to interact with him and to grab it in time. Especially for ordinary people who are not professional models, it usually takes a long time to get used to this method, and more shooting can gain something, even if you actually only need 1 photo in the end.

Generally, a single package costs more than 1000 yuan in 800 yuan: this kind of portrait creation belongs to professional photographers, and some fashion photographers take more commercial portraits. If a single person needs enough image-building, it is more meaningful to shoot this image. But the photographer's level and style are different. If you have a good aesthetic, it's not bad to find a suitable photographer.

Specialty and business need to be combined to better adapt to the market. Professional portrait photography is a whole creation, even if only one finished product is needed, it can not be separated from many other bedding. However, products and services need to be standardized and quantified, and the price should be suitable for the market, so it is ok to charge only, but the starting price alone is not suitable. According to personal experience, there should be 2-3 pictures of the whole body (with movements and postures), the simplest finished product. And the price of additional negatives in the later period should not be too high.
