    hey man while your on the subject lemme add something on press-photogs

    Press ( a rough guide)
    Rates: 1400-5000/mth (salary )for staffer
    55-110/day for stringer (freelancer)
    (depending on seniority, education and experience)

    a. Photographer’s images are owned by newspaper or agency or company.
    b. Photographer’s Gear is provided by company for staffers and sometimes stringers.
    c. Photographers work with DSLRs.
    d. Photographers normally work around 8 hour shifts with anywhere between 1-5 jobs in that time.
    e. Photographers are expected to be on call anytime in case of breaking news
    f. Photographers are expected to be able to shoot anything and everything.
    e. Payment is monthly, transport is normally covered by an allowance or is claimed.

    obviously no one is in this line for the money

    Do you know what are the rates for concert photography i.e. taking photos of on-stage live concert performances?
    If possible, I would like to know the rates for both Singapore and USA.
    Thanks a lot!

    Hello Pamela,

    Concert photography goes under Event/PR photography. The rates are shown above. I don’t know about US rates, sorry. Maybe some knowledgeable readers can give me some info and I can compile a list.
