Ideas on what to charge for event photography?

Hi,

I’ve been asked to join a UK content team at a big Esports event in europe who I have shot an event job for before (this was while i was attending it already so was happy to shoot for a small fee) but this will be a massive weekend long event in europe with big name teams attending so they will be expecting a lot of photos along with uploads to a few different sites they report/commentate for throughout the event.

They have asked how much I would charge as my fee for the 4 nights and 3 days (they are covering all travel and accomodation expenses and have daily food allowance). Having never charged for a job this big i’m a little unsure what to reply with but they are keen on me going since they know me and my work.

I have setup my price for portrait work, so far it is £50 an hour including basic post processing. So was possibly thinking of half day (up to 3 hours) being around £120 and full day (up to 6 hours) being £240. However I will likely be working, due to the nature of these Esport events, up to at least 9, possibly 12 hours a day or more dependinging how long the tournament matches go on for, in which case, £300 or £350.

Does anyone think that sounds reasonable or too much for my first proper event?

Cheers for any advice.

It is quite reasonable dear.. still you can call few photographers, event management companies, event planners, wedding planners or anybody else who provide photographers & pretend to be a client and get pricing for same kinda services
