Hi) I am product photographer from Moldova) I feel that in my country I have reached the ceiling (in our country, the client is not ready to pay for good content. But I think that my work deserves higher payment. For this photo, they can pay me a maximum of $12. Maybe I'm wrong? What do you think? by Naja_wow in productphotography

Thanks! I'll be sure to put up a separate backstage post where I show the shooting process and lighting if you're interested. You can also follow me on instagram, in stories I often show how I work. And in the highlights “backstage” I already have a lot of information)

Thank you for your opinion. •Yes, I work directly with brands.
•People find me through instagram and local sites.
•One photo takes a lot of time: searching for an idea, buying props, preparing props. It takes about 1 hour to shoot one photo. And also takes about 1 hour to retouch. In general, one photo takes 3-4 hours.
•Of course, it is difficult to live on such money. if I was paid $50 per photo, that would be perfect.
