Hi,
I've just had a client cancel a commission to take images of a building
during its construction. I have written instructions from the client to
take photos for them and had already spent an hour or so at the site
taking some preliminary shots.
This client has apparently now changed their mind and taken on another
photographer informing me that my services are no longer required. I
should add that they have not seen any of my work so far and I have no
idea why they have cancelled. Cheeky gits have even requested I meet
with the replacement photographer!
What can I reasonably and legally charge this client? Can I only really
just charge for the hour already spent on site or can I increase the fee
as I had already started working and perhaps include some claim for work
turned down on the back of this job? It would have been a good one
lasting several months.
Very odd situation that I can't seem to get to the bottom of but I'd
love to pinch this time waster for as much as possible. Would appreciate
any input.
TIA.
