Looking to improve my Linked in and facebook profile pictures but I don't know how much should I be expected to pay. I found a guy with a Hasselblad asking 200$ CAD for 4 pictures re-touched with photoshop. Is that a fair price?
>pic related, his portfolio
Also, I see a lot of friends with gorgeous pictures taken throughout the city. How do they do it? Do they hire a photographer for a day and take pictures of them at any moment?

Do you like is work?
Can you find someone who can do what he does in the style you like for cheaper?
Can you do it yourself for cheaper?
If you answered the first question yes, then the next two no, then pay the man.

Yes, but it'll take work and study, along with possibly spending money on different gear.

if you have the cash pay the 200, if you don´t just ask a friend to help you and take it with the D600.
Anyway the guy has good salad portraits.

People like you are the reason we don't make as much money as we used to. I charge myself 300USD for 5 pictures on medium format, it's expensive but I can put the 300USD to good use in buying additional parts for my Hassleblad

This. A million times this. Holy fuck, I'm barely making ends meet and I only charge $5 for a cell phone dick pic.
