IDK, I think it's because of the little work put into it. If I take photos of someones car it takes me an hour at max, then maybe an hour with PP. That would be $700 according to you and wow I would have a guilty conscience. It's something I like to do and I'd feel wrong doing that just for some photos. Yes they are done by someone that knows what they are doing...
but $350/hr... geez. Vegas must me alot more expensive to live in than FL 
Right now I have on my website an automotive shoot is $100 + travel charges if not in my zipcode.
And everything else is $45/hr + travel charges. I originally had it at like $75/hr but I felt bad and changed it
nope its the same cost of living maybe ~10% more. I didnt say YOU should charge $350/hr. Its not your career, you are a hobbyist. To prove that its not where i live, im coming to Florida for a job. im charging $250/hr (only reason i lowered my rate, is because its consistent pay by SKAM) to shoot the SKAM artist takeover in Miami for the WMC. If you know what you are worth then get it.
