your first paid gig
$1275 (after agent's 20%) for shooting circular ad for Strawridge and Clothier (dept. store) back in 1984. Dec 14 05 12:35 am Link $300 to shoot and be featured on a website. Pictures were awful but the money paid a bill. boy, how things have changed. Angel Dec 14 05 09:19 am Link Duh!!! Mine was Nov. 13th from an OMP Model who came all the way up from NJ to Providence, RI and paid me $150.00 for two hours. And I was going to give her 5 hours, but sho got ill.....not from the Shoot though LOL! It's about time I got paid, too! I earned it! Dec 14 05 11:08 am Link headshots for all the actors (6) in a production of Crimes of the Heart - $800 Dec 14 05 11:19 am Link A wedding when I was in college and broke (that was long ago -- right after the earth cooled). That led to a wedding business with a buddy. We shot weddings together for years until we got out of school, and gave you 67 5x7s for 67 bucks. Ron Dec 14 05 12:16 pm Link My first shoot was supposed to be TFCD, with gas reimbursement, and at the end of the shoot (which was an hour an a half) he gave me $50 for gas (it really only was $40 that I needed) and then another $50 because he didn't realize that I had driven that far (2.5 hours). Yaya! Not bad for the first shoot.... Dec 14 05 01:43 pm Link $300 for a 2 hour nude shoot for a private client. The model got the same. Dec 14 05 03:06 pm Link I cant remember exactly what it paid because it was about 1993, but it was for the cover of a Christian Romance Novel called Theodosia and I think it was around $300-$400. Before this point I had done alot of charity promos and stuff... Here is the link to a blurb: http://www.storyroot.com/TheoAnnaMar.html Not sure why it says pub 1995 because it was shot WAY before that... Lets see if it will show up: Dec 15 05 06:55 pm Link $50 bucks to shoot an aspiring singer's promo pics Dec 18 05 12:22 am Link July 1998: afternoon of fun on the beach for 50$/hr for swimsuit/casual stuff - easy day considering I lived 5 miles away and was going there anyway. (shrugs) Dec 18 05 12:48 am Link Mine was $200 (+ $50 for gas) for about 3 hours of easy work. Swimwear mostly. Dec 20 05 01:04 pm Link |
