Don’t base it on the size of the show. Base your pay on the amount of work you need to do. You have to shoot, edit, and deliver the photos.
Since larger shows mean more work (more photos, picking, editing, etc.), then larger shows will require more pay.
As for that last part, don’t do that unless the comedians ask you for photos for their portfolio. It’s not extra work for you, so don’t try to nickel and dime your client.
When you breach the subject with the promoter, have a printout with your prices and the things included in the price. Don’t write paragraphs about it, just a small itemized list (the shoot, number of pics included, editing, and cleaning). Then let them know that, because of the current economic shift, you’ll have to increase your prices a little. Always bring up a change in pricing with the client before charging them differently. Even if the change is just $10, no one likes surprises like that.
