Studio Owners...

[HotHolly]

This is for studios with a physical location only.

Do you keep set studio hours? What are they?

Nope. I'm there when I have a client. Not when I don't.... well, not much anyway.

I'll meet them at 3am if I know they're coming.

How many hours a week would you say you are there?

We do "By Appointment Only" -
There is too much to do to sit at the studio; people don't walk in and if they do want you, they will call. I would say, we are there every day mostly at night; If its your own studio; You never have enough time in the day to do everything. Hours in a week - everyday, all night and all weekend. And I consider that is just not enough time but I don't have enough money to hire someone else to do;

6-10 hours per week depending on how many shoots I have.

Our phone book ad says By Appointment Only, but in truth someone is at the studio every week day. The bookkeeper usually comes in about 8:30 and stays for two or three hours until her work is done two or three days a week. The studio manager gets in around nine and works til six or later four days a week. I come in between 7:30 and 8:30 most days and stay as late as ?? I am probably at the studio 60+ hours a week, but that is by choice. I have more stuff here than I do at home. High speed internet, Big screen TV and cable. At home I have dial-up and a 32" with an antenna so I'm not always working when I'm here.
