Throughout your career as a student photographer people will constantly try and pay you less than you are worth. The truth is, not only are you a photographer, you are a businessperson. I know that as a student you typically don’t have many business-related costs– you don’t rent an office, you don’t have assistants, you don’t encounter the same costs a “typical” photo business would, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t treat yourself as a legitimate business person.
