Well it's work

Won a contract doing product photography.... even though I don't advertise for it, I did some portraits for this fellow and after he asked if I could do product. Sure I says....

Well, little did I know it will be about 500 images, setup fee & $10 an image. Boring as hell, but real quick. Once the lights are as I want them, its item click.. click, item click.. click.. All small images for web site.

On my trial I did 6 images an hour including PP.

Boring as hell, but buys some beer.

$5000 plus setup fee for, what, a weekend of work?

Sounds like a win.

I think you need to work on your poses and crop.
The rule of thirds would really help on this image as currently it looks like a T- bar looking lost in space... not really going anyway.

well played, there are certainly harder ways to make $5000

Thanks guys..... Only draw back is it is really mind numbing.. nothing creative about this at all.

just make a little KA-CHING sound each time you hit the shutter button... it will make the time run.

Unless my math skills have failed me.... that works out to roughly (did some rounding) $60 / hr. Yeah, I think I could do mind numbingly work for $60 / hr.

In this economy it's great to hear anytime people are getting good work. Congrats
