    Client wants to hire me to photograph for six hours straight at different locations. He will pay all expenses, it's basically him and his girlfriend documentary style.

    1. Meet at boat docks and take harbor cruise

    2. Go horseback riding

    3. Dinner at restaurant

    4. Take a gondola trip

    The day will eventually lead to his wedding proposal.

    She is aware I will be tagging along but the whole thing seems awkward. How can you have a romantic evening with a stranger shooting next to you all day? Anyway, I was thinking I would bring several different lenses and do the best I can.

    Any ideas on price to quote him?

    • jesus, creepy. And if she says 'no' at the end of this very obviously set-up day?detritus
    • do him a favor and suggest a better restaurant and charge plentymonospaced
    • Take my advice, Request payment in advance on this one.scruffics
    • I would charge hourly + expenses and give out certain amount of photos for free per day and he can buy more photos if he likes.pango
    • Pay before phooting starts.pango

    • Olive Garden is excellent value. You can easily eat over 2000 calories for under $20.nb

    • Neat fact: the Ice-T song "O.G." was actually written about Olive Garden and how when he worked there it was run by the mafia. Crazy, hey? Hard to believe.nb
