Answer 1

Depends on the quality of the images. How good are you? What are the images of? Are the images in focus?

Personally I pay for quality and what it is worth to me.
You can go to Wal-Mart and get a million images very cheep. To me the color of these images always looks blah. The lighting isn't very good and the expressions are lacking. The photographer has very little training and the images look like snapshots. For some people that is fine, not me.

I regard quality photography as art. I will spend more for an image that is more unique and has style. I look for good composition, color harmony, beautiful posing and expressions are a requirement as well. Was a technique used that enhanced the image? I would pay more for that.

I have found, in general, that what you pay for something is in direct proportion to the quality of that product. So do the best you possibly can do, Compare your work with other in your area. If you are below their standards you will need to charge less. If you are better, charge more. Improve yourself so you are able to charge more for your work.

Practice, Practice, Practice.

Good Luck!
