Sure, if I could trade you the college tuition I paid way back when ($50 a semester). If you're looking for tuition at the same college today ($3,500 a semester), then you need to ask Tyler to bring back the sugar daddy ads.

Nice work, by the way.

Massage school...about 6 grand.  Total.

Yeah...a sugar daddy would be pretty sweet.  Unfortunately (well...not unfortunately), the person I'm seeing is studying at freaking Berklee.  No sugar daddy for me.

Thank you!!  You have stunning work...I think I commented the other day.  If I didn't...I'm going to right now!

I definitely plan to make use of my license in this field once I'm certified!

For all the photographers I can't afford...I will haul my table all over the country.

I've had a table for the past year...and only been able to use it once.  sad

It's my passion.  Before modeling and art...massage therapy.  I just haven't been able to do it...and have been modeling (which I definitely love) to help pay for school.  Total flop.  I'm depleting my college fund by flying all over, but it's fun.

Sigh.

All seriousness aside, I'd think that you definitely have a skill that's easily tradable. I don't know about the laws in Massachusetts, but even as a student without a license, you might be able to trade massage services for photography. I certainly wouldn't go squealing to some license commission after making a mutually beneficial trade. I doubt many photographers here bother to check the license of their MUA before a shoot, and the potential liability there is probably far greater than causing damage to someone with a massage.

You know, you could do a TFM (trade for massage) if you were hiring the photographer, but I'd make sure that you knew him/her REALLY well first.  This could open a whole new arena for the proverbial GWC.

"Not only did I get to see her naked and take pictures, but then she gave me a massage!"

You'll have to find someone in the school's faculty or staff to model for.  Possibly some photographer at a scholarship foundation or something.

For everyone else, it's just cash.

certainly not advertise that in her profile, i recommend. but send the photog who you like to work with a PM and suggest that you'd work TFM won't be a bad idea. wink wait, she wants to get paid, not the other way around. . . never mind. smile

Most of the models I hire are college students.  So does that mean I'm paying for their books?    Umm at the outrageous prices of textbooks nowadays, I'm probably not!  LOL

Damn,

it appears to me that you are making some of your issues, issues. Spending your college money to travel don't help. I'm in school too, but I utilize that money for school, rent (if neccessary) and anything else that is school related.

What I'm surprised on, is that you haven't tried to do paid only assignments. I strongly feel that you have the potential to do this. Especially since you are posing in the raw. I'd use this as an opportunity to pay some bills.

Two weeks from now, I have two shoots back to back that are $200 each...

...but I need to buy groceries and pay rent!  So...there goes $400 bucks.

Wisconsin doesn't have as many paying gigs.

There's a ton of promotional garbage, but I don't drink and would never help sell something I don't personally use.

Also, a lot of people seem to feel that because I'm an art model, I should only want to do art for art's sake and they stop talking to me (after saying they're interested) when I ask them what their offer is.

Yes, I love art.  I love creating.  However, this is my ONLY source of income right now...so...I don't know how to get paid work without seeming money-hungry to other artists?

If we are talking a $1.5k or less I could see this happening

If more, then we are in to Sugar Dadday land. At that point If someone were looking to shell out that kind of cash, they'd be looking for something more "personal" and "intimate" than pretty pics.

Nothing wrong with that, if that's how you roll.

From a time efficency stand point, you could scare up the cash a lot faster if you worked as a escort or a stripper than from shooting images. I had a client who was (still is?) an escort and she made a minimum of $1500 each day  she worked. She usually much more than that and it was not a stretch that she could have close to $10k by the end of the week. I'M NOT SAYING for you to do that but I only bring it up for discussion sake.
