OMG of course you can count me in!! Actually you can even tell him that I'm happy to be the event photographer and take all the best pictures, I'll just throw a fee on top of that!

[whiteshroud]

[Jun, not sure March will give a fair price for her services, is doing a quick google search on how much wedding photographers cost.

Varian and Haru, should they be in the Alley, will probably hear a loud "They cost THAT much?!" coming from Jun.

Ahem. ]

Maxima, add an extra 5k to the proposed offer if he wishes to include add photography to the bundle.

This is not an overestimate.

[trailblazingspirit]

Wait what.

I've just been charging like 95 dollars for events so I have a week of boba tea and cookies, what do you mean that's an underestimate? You're serious? I should be charging more???

[whiteshroud]

[HE KNEW IT]

Yes. Depending on their experience, skill level, and clientele - photographers can charge anywhere from $500 to over $20,000 for an event.

Based on how you've been photographing things for as long as you can remember, the quality of your photos, and the likely duration of this party.... $5,000 feels like an apt professional-level rate.

[droptheious]

Oh. This is what you were yelling about. Okay, I see now.

March, please charge more. Don't let Gilgamesh know you charge less. If you undervalue yourself, he will get you.

[trailblazingspirit]

OKAY OKAY OKAY I swear I didn't know!! I thought "oh I'm a pretty good photographer I can take pictures of events it'll be fun and I can have money for bubble tea and snacks every day of the week", I

okay I will charge $5000 I'm scared of what he'll do if I charge him my "bubble tea and snacks" price.

[whiteshroud]

I understand. But now you know. So congratulations.

You're now our most expensive Aides member to hire.

[droptheious]

Well, now you know. And you can charge better for your actually very good services.

I undervalued myself once, and he sent multiple giant cubes of supplies and food to my door for months. So my guess would be something unhinged like that. You dodged a bullet.

[whiteshroud]

Mm. Haru said he was handling our wedding's photography, so I never looked into the pricing.

Next meeting maybe we should go over proper pricing when dealing with high end clientele if Gilgamesh has noticed us.

[droptheious]

Once again, I am so deeply grateful for Haru.

I think that's a good idea. You know how important it is for him that people know their own value. We don't want to make him think we;re not doing that.

[Wh—]

You've been WHAT?

[trailblazingspirit]

I don't pay rent!! When I have to do taxes I call Dan Heng!! The only thing I pay for is the Internet bill and that's because I stream, and I get LOADS of money from streaming and galleries! Event photos were a fun little side thing!!!!

I DIDN'T KNOWWWW

[life_ethereal]

[Man................. now he feels bad. This poor, poor lesbian.]

Well, now you know? Go give Caleb a smack from me while you're at it. Us hobbyist photographers gotta look out for each other!

[actnormal]

TRAITOR

[trailblazingspirit]

Yeah, now I'm gonna change all my prices on my site because I'm not going to miss out on gaming chair money. Jeez.

[actnormal]

In March's defense she's an isekai and an amnesiac on top of the isekai?

And I didn't tell her anything else because it didn't matter but now it's Gil and IT SUDDENLY MATTERS A LOT

[life_ethereal]

IT'S THE PRINCIPLE OF THE CRAFT, CALEB!

Jesus, even I was paid more as an assistant to photographers.

[actnormal]

She makes so much as a streamer I didn't think it mattered!!

[moderni]

[This is what he gets for trying to have a personal life, he put his work messaging down after dinner and came back to all of this.]

Understood. I wasn't aware that professional photography was that costly, but it does make sense considering the equipment and aesthetic skill involved.

[actnormal]

More than boba prices, March. Please more than boba prices, I don't want Gil to send us cubes of boba pearls for a month!

[trailblazingspirit]

I DIDN'T KNOW I COULD CHARGE THAT MUCH????

[actnormal]

PHOTOGRAPHERS ARE STUPID EXPENSIVE FOR A REASON MARCH I only didn't say anything since because my car is paid for and the bills are paid for and I don't charge rent and PGO pays well it didn't really matter

But now it matters. It matters so much.

[trailblazingspirit]

OH NO OKAY I'll charge more than 95 dollars I'll charge uhhh 5000 like Shroud says. Gil's rich he can handle it. I can buy a new gaming chair after all.

[actnormal]

(￣▽￣*)ゞ

Thank you Shroud for saying something because I wasn't sure I should

[trailblazingspirit]

I'm gonna go update my website and the prices on it I had no idea.
