What really annoys me is that a friend of mine has a daughter who teaches in Warrington, in a much "poorer" area, and their school photos are about 20% cheaper. I think it's the same photographer, though I may be wrong. The photographer must be making a profit out of that school or he wouldn't do it, so - he's making a killing here.
Maybe the school itself is adding more of a commision on ? does anyone know what sort of percentage the schools actually make on these ?
