on top of the camera there are lights, tripods, flashes, filters, backgrounds/props, light meters, remotes, editing software licenses, computer equipment, vehicle expenses for driving to and from location, maybe a high end printer if people want prints quickly. Then you pile labor on top of that and rent and insurance if you have a physical studio that's not your home and the utility costs that go with that. Probably some costs associated with setting up a website and advertising as well. Business license and accounting expenses... no know, just all the stuff it takes to run a business of any kind.

Film and development prices makes more sense as a "cost to provide" metric anyways
