Our pay rate for first time shooters is $15.00 per hour.
$15 an hour and use your own camera gear and a laptop too? I suppose I could offer a similar deal - bring your gear and shoot a wedding, $25/ hour! (i'm generous I suppose LOL)
$15 if you use their gear is reasonable - maybe.
I'd bet this is freelance work, so you're responsible for your own taxes, and what about any kind of insurance? Do you need it or not?
You have to pay for your own cell minutes apparently, but do you have to pay for parking too?
I suppose if you want to be a 'pro' badly enough this would qualify, and the experience is probably worth something.
