Perception of Value: Are Your Services Worth Paying for?
Part of running any successful business comes down to the way that your clients or customers think of your service. As a photographer, the perception of value of your work will be based on:
- The quality of the photos you take;
- The number of people who have been exposed to your work - in the case of art photographers, how many galleries have you shown in? In the case of photojournalists, which papers and magazines have used your images to compliment a story?
- The price that you charge for a sitting or for prints;
- The type of camera you use and where your studio is located;
- How easy it is to book you for an event.
Each of these things is something that you can have a bit of control over, but each also tends to come down on the buyer’s opinion. Therefore, once you’re doing your best work, it’s up to you to display it well.
Printed photo books that display your best work with a unique layout can be an ideal way of changing the way people look at you as a photographer. Whether you use a photo book as a marketing tool, a display book or as a striking portfolio, you’ll find that you’re able to draw more attention from your customers.
