Great Video, as you've shown, it is really simple, so how do you charge £200 per photo, I feel like many business owners would like to save the money and do it themselves. I am a somewhat experienced photographer but have never really charged for photos in the past. However I want to start earning from it so what would you say is the best way to go about justifying your price to customers. I understand that when I say that people would like to "do it themselves" I acknowledge that if they were to buy a camera and a light then it would be substantially more expensive than just paying £200, but these people will often be happy with using some lamp they have at home and their phone for the photo. So if they believe that their phone and a lamp can do the same as your photo how do you go about charging them for it? I had people approach me asking for photos, in the past I have said £50 or £100 for a couple photos and many said they didn't expect that price and they would rather do it themselves. I try to justify that the equipment is partially the reason for the price but im not sure how else to justify charging those people for something the realistically could do themselves.
In Truth, I hustled hard for the first few years, I would offer photoshoots and product photos for free, that way I got to learn and the customers got what they wanted. They would usually give like £20-£30 as a tip. But after a good few years , soon word of mouth started to get around and my portfolio built up to where I am at a point where I can say a price and they usually don't question it. Its either a YES/NO kind of deal rather than a negotiation. "Here is my price do you want it" I also do a lot of event photography which aids my product photography. Normally if a client is happy to snap their product on their phone and my price is too high, then they don't put enough value into their brand or product and usually wouldn't want a product shoot anyway. I hope that helps. Hustle hard!
Thank TCM Reviews for this INFORMATIVE video. One question, please. Does ULANZI VL-120 have a plastic cap to cover the LED element when it's in storage just like the one that comes with Godox ML100Bi? If not, how do you protect the LED element when the light is not in use. Thanks again.

It does come with a cap.
@@TheCameraManReviews Thanks.
The model in the title is not correct. It is a ZL120
It says VL 120 on the side of the light?
It say VL120C (VL120 is very différent)@@TheCameraManReviews
