im not a pro (yet) but someone has asked me to photograph an event for them. basically i will be there for 2 hours and photograph groups of people that wish it. I wont be responsible for the actual printing of the pictures. Ill just take the shots and do some basic editing.
Im really grasping at straws when figureing out what to charge for something like that.
any suggetions/thoughts/ideas?

This is a very common question.

But here is a basic equation that was explained on AdoramaTV that may help you decide and understand why your cost is what it is.
