I'm very confident in my abilities as a photographer, and I think my prices are fair, yet I am just not able to lock in a solid confirmation from potential clients, they always slip away.
I'm a student photographer offering portraits at a University, so maybe it's college kid cash insecurity that is the problem, but then I wonder why they even bother to DM me in the first place?
I charge $10 a photo, minimum of $60 or 6 photos. From what I've heard that's about as undercut to the competition as I can go, and yet no one is interested?
I know for certain that the market for portraits exists at my Uni, as I walk past our front entrance with a rival photographer and graduate model everyday.
Reaching people has always been my weakspot. I feel like there is a network I don't exist in.
Thanks
