Things have been a whole new level of hectic with everything going on these days.<br /><br />I hope things turned out well with your agency interview, although I'm a bit confused by them asking you how much you can collect per job. It is the agency's job to negotiate and set the pay rates their models would receive when booking work. So I'm not sure why the modeling agency would ask you that question.<br /><br />Should you read this reply, I hope you'll update me as to how the interview went and clarify why they asked that, I am very curious to know!<br /><br />Best of luck to you, either way!<br /><br />Best,<br />Dania DeniseDania Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05395576931121009984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768796656331806390.post-57336608012994191252020-09-06T05:27:04.001-07:002020-09-06T05:27:04.001-07:00Please am invited for an interview and my agency a...Please am invited for an interview and my agency asked how much I can collect per job, what should I say?

I usually pay models between $25-75 per hour. I use fitness models almost exclusively so the fittest models that know what they are doing get the middle or top fee. Some Models don't really know what are reasonable fees so just throw out whatever they think they can get. I did two different shoots with an experienced model that gets $100/hr for Her fit look however I told Her My budget was $25/hr but I told Her I would make up for the difference in promoting Her right after the shoot. We shot for 3 hrs. My goal was to get Her pumped up physically for Her surprise. I took Her down the hill to a major casting call for animal planet. She got a $10,000 contract on the spot. There were about 50 models there competing for the one spot. I KNEW what they wanted. They wanted a very fit country girl so I made Her "pump up" Her muscles just before She auditioned for the spot. The producer said "I saw Her coming from the top of the hill" which impressed Him. When She read the script She got hired. Moral of the story. If You overcharge the wrong guy You MAY miss an opportunity for the big spot. If a model charges $300/hr then the photographer usually is making $30,000 from the photos of You and Your photos are either stock shots (Selling Your images for years to different companies) of for large companies and You may find Your shots on billboards. I have heard of girls shooting, going o vacation and seeing themselves on the side of a building for cosmetic advertisements.Not a problem for a model. Its just that that photographer needs to make His money back many many times. I will also say that the girl I shot at $75/hr was 45 years old, fitter than ANY model I have ever shot with and would shoot any shot I needed.

Recently I have been approached for nude photography and I would like to know if the rates differ from the full clothed photography. Also, I couldn't find where is the limit to quote a nude or semi nude photo shoot. For example, if I have my hair in front of my nipple and a short, then technically I'm semi-nude in the studio in front of the photographer but still, the result of the photo is that nobody sees any erogenous area. How do you make the difference and quote the right rates? Does suimwear and underwear are the same rates than full clothed in the industry?

It was a TFP arrangement and 1 1/2 hour shoot. The photographer was very pleased with my performance and surprised to know that I have not modeled before. He told me he sees the talent in me and if I do more modeling, I may want to make a separate modeling page to help promote myself. He also wants to do another shoot with me. <br /><br />Two other local photographers approached me the next day after they viewed my posted headshots. They are both interested in a TFP arrangement. They appear to be accomplished photographers and have their own studios. Would you suggest I accept the TFP arrangement and not charge for my time, perhaps use it as an opportunity to build my portfolio? <br /><br />Thank you very much!Arianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768796656331806390.post-43812610790136941072017-02-01T09:02:50.000-08:002017-02-01T09:02:50.000-08:00Thank you so much for posting this!

But after working with several professionals/photographers they have informed me of what rates are too low and what's too high.
