Okay, let’s tackle this. So Roger Godby has 36 years of experience in photography, which is a long time. He’s been his own boss as the owner of A Thousand Words Photography since 1988. Skills like event, portrait, and commercial photography are in demand, but the rate for photographers can vary widely based on experience, location, and industry demand. Given his long tenure and self-employment, his rate might be on the lower side. Considering he’s based in Olde West Chester, Ohio, which is a smaller market, I’ll estimate his rate to be around $75 per hour, which is lower than what photographers in larger cities might charge.
