You're Undercharging. Here's Why — And What to Do About It

You're Undercharging. Here's Why — And What to Do About It

Most photography business advice tells you to "know your worth." Nobody tells you why you don't charge it.

In this episode of The Loud Lens, Khandie gets into the four real reasons photographers undercharge — and none of them are as simple as "just put your prices up."

We're covering:

— Not knowing your actual costs (and why running a photography business in the UK means you need to)

— The fear of losing the booking and what it's actually costing you

— Why pricing against other photographers is one of the worst business decisions you can make

— Imposter syndrome — why it doesn't go away with experience, and why you can't let it set your rates

This isn't a fluff episode. If you're a UK photographer — freelance, studio-based, wedding, portrait, commercial, or anything in between — and you've ever second-guessed your pricing, apologised for your rates, or quietly wondered if you're actually making any money, this one is for you.

Straightforward. No nonsense. No guru waffle.

🎙️ The Loud Lens is hosted by Khandie Rees — award-winning photographer, published author, and speaker at The Photography & Video Show and the Wales & West Photography Show.
