Photographers will inevitably encounter a time when their existing rates no longer reflect their skill and experience, inflation, or their cost of doing business. But increasing rates, especially in a smaller market, can feel overwhelming. John Harrington, author of More Best Business Practices for Photographers, dispensed a practical approach to increasing rates, which includes:
