Owners, managers and operators,

For the past 5 years, I've been through 10 in-house photographers and 2 vendors,  most of who fell short of expectations. As someone who started in this business as a photographer for a car dealership (a position I loved and excelled at), I consistently see where expectations aren't met with the services available in my market. I have the desire to start my own business to compete in the photography/merchandising market and deliver both the quantity and quality of photos that most vendors and independent photographers seem to be unable to.

To successfully do this, I need an understanding of what dealers pay and what their expectations are for this service outside of my own dealership.

1. What do you pay for your online photos?
2. Do they bill you by hour or units photographed?
3. What services do they provide outside of photography, if any?
4. What do you appreciate about your current photographers?
5. Where do they fall short?

Any additional feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Dalton
