Free fashion photography estimate template!
It's been a super long time since I created any new freebies. I've made a lot over the years and they're something that I love to provide.
In a chat the other day, a photographer was telling me that they didn't know how to present their prices, and I was honest and said that until about a year and a half ago…neither did I. I'm always learning, and as I've always said, what I learn, I share with you here.
So, today I've got an “estimate” template to gift you!
An estimate is what fashion and commercial photographers use to share their prices for jobs. There are complicated ones, and simple ones. I've experimented with different kinds, but now I tend to keep mine as straight forward as possible. The estimate that I've created for you is 90% identical to what I send out to my own clients.
The reason I love an estimate/quote/whatever you want to call it, is that it allows for total transparency, but also for negotiation. Instead of just going back to a client and saying: “hey, the shoot will cost £2500." You can go back and say that it will be £2500, but show a detailed breakdown of why the shoot costs that much, and where their money is going.
If you've never made an estimate before, you might feel intimidated by this. Don't be! I've created a 10 minute tutorial video where I walk you through the whole thing, and tell you how you can adapt it yourself.
Use this as what it's intended to be - a template. Copy it, change it, make it your own. Use it as a jumping off point and tailor it to work for your business.
