How to Charge Your Highest Rates Ever as a Fashion Photographer (Even During Slow Seasons)
For many photographers, summer can feel like a desert. The inbox slows down. Brands pause on major campaigns. You might find yourself asking the dreaded question:
"Will I ever book another shoot again?"
Take a breath, because the answer is yes. Slow seasons are not a death sentence for your business. In fact, they are one of the most powerful opportunities to level up your career. Instead of panicking, use this quieter period to prepare for the incredibly busy months that are just around the corner.
From September through November, fashion brands dive headfirst into autumn/winter campaigns, holiday shoots, and end-of-year marketing pushes. That’s when the real momentum kicks in - and the photographers who succeed the most are those who used their summer wisely.
So how do you prepare? You master your pricing.
Why Summer Is the Best Time to Raise Your Rates
While other photographers are waiting for the work to return, you can be:
Reviewing your rate structure
Practicing your negotiation scripts
Learning how to increase the value of every shoot
Positioning yourself to charge more - confidently
Because let’s be honest: by the time September hits, you won’t have time to rethink your pricing. You’ll be knee-deep in client calls, back-to-back bookings, and editing marathons. The groundwork needs to be done now.
