Hi All, I need some kind of info and advise regarding a request to shoot. I was approached by an event organiser to do a shoot for a car club Track Day. What should I said in my proposal letter? Do I need to take consideration of my lost hour because of taking leave from work, transportation and time to do the shoot in Malaysia? What is the market rate for doing a shoot in KL (Sepang Circuit) for 3 hrs session? Please advised.
Yours Truly, Rockers. |

So many things to take in consideration dude. Transport time and cost, lost time from work etc.
It maybe 3 hours but are you based in singapore or malaysia? because if you are in singapore then although you may be paid only 3 hours you may lost an entire day. so you do not have any competitive advantage taking up this project. unless of course the organiser is paying you a full day rate.

Unless you take unpaid leave I don't see the reason for factoring that into the bill. The employer doesn't care whether you have to take leave or whether this is your leisure time.
