This is one of the types of photographers im thinking about becoming. Id love to do this but id still want to get a pretty decent pay. I’d also like to know what type of photographer gets paid more than a Movie Stills Photographer?

I am going to have an interview for freelance photographer. I am just an amateur photographer and have no idea how things work as far as compensation.
Do they get paid per picture or per occasion ? How much is the average rate for freelance photographer for local magazine ?
Thank you.
