It is subconsciously what I did, but having a logistical reason behind doing it truly helps. Thank you for sharing! I’ve been giving a lot of thought to my pricing recently, and this is brilliant!

I struggle with the negotiating process because it's so subjective with creative fees, but there is a specific value that photographers (and other creatives) can place on their services and experience, just like lawyers etc. It's very difficult for clients to understand this sometimes, especially with photography because many people own a DSLR. Echoing Jake's comment, it's also a bit easier for clients to understand negotiating with tangible items, versus trying to quantify creativity.

And I totally agree with that last paragraph. Negotiating down on what you're charging for the creative component 'just because' feels like it cheapens the value of what you do. I'd much rather be flexible with the items that aren't about talent/creativity/art (or whatever you want to call it). Right on. And I totally agree with that last paragraph.
