One of the reason I quit portrait photography 12 years ago was that I was tired of doing spec. work photography. I thought, because of the advent of digital, portrait photographers would have started charging by the job, similar to commercial photographers. But I find portrait photographers are still charging by the inch and are never sure how much they are going to get paid for a job. How we should be paid is by the job and not by the size or quantity of prints. If I spend 3 hours working on a job, I should be sure I will be getting paid x for those 3 hours of work. I hope that in the next 12 years, portrait photographers will come up with a better business model. Just my opinion. I may be just a bitter old fart that sucks at sales.
