I am new to freelance photography, looking at doing commercial photography for local SME businesses for their promo material and trying to determine what I should charge.

Should I charge based on the number of photos or on a time basis? I don't really agree with charging for time, I think its much better to base pricing on the value you give to the customer. However I've done some online research on rates and pricing and come up with a sliding scale starting at say £10 per image for the first 15 or so images and reducing the per image cost for larger quantities. Any ideas is that too much or too little?

Also what is the convention for copyright ownership of commissioned photography?
