You should be careful not to ruin your reputation before you get the business started.
As someone mentioned, what about processing, retouching etc if you are just providing straight out of camera shots. People talk.
I do not see a link to your work so I can not judge.
I get paid for some work, but I will hardly call myself a professional.
I am more than happy to oblige if a friend or relative asks me to take a "professional" picture of them.
A family of 5 asked for passport photos. That would have costed them over 100€. I said I will do it for free.
An excuse to get out my equipment and shoot. They gave me 20€ as a gift. I call that win win on both sides.
I use that as an opportunity to increase my skill as I dont have models.
On the other hand I dont agree that everybody has to pay 1000€ for their wedding photos.
A service is a service based on what you are providing. I dont even charge 500€ for a wedding.
But I make sure the client see my work so they know what they are asking for.
Tomorrow I will shoot a court wedding for 200€.
Keep in mind that with all the low price I am at the same time building a portfolio and experience.
The funny thing is that I dont think I want to be a professional photographer.
I just like taking pictures. The main idea is to use the money to support this hobby and buy my wife beautiful shoes.
