PLEASE HELP!!! What should I charge (as a beginer) for a printwork photoshoot w/release?!!? May 28 06 09:35 am Link What is a "printwork photoshoot"? That sounds like a shoot intended for publication in print media. That leads to the question: what media, for what purpose? In general, "print" work pays from zero to $500 or so (editorial), or from zero to $50,000 or so (advertising). Without more information it's really hard to narrow it down any further. May 28 06 10:05 am Link I was given little information, ... all that was mentioned is that he wanted to place an ad in PaperCity mag May 28 06 10:31 am Link Then you need more information. May 28 06 10:40 am Link I have a question for you as well. Is the monetary component the only factor in your decision? If you're just doing modeling for fun, then take whatever reasonable offer is made to you. If you're doing for the experience, and a possible "tear", then do whatever it takes to land this assignment (if there are competing models). But if you're just after the money... er... keep asking because I don't know either :-p May 28 06 10:40 am Link I am not just after the money.....this is more a hobby for me than anything but I am certainly going to take advantage of it when the opportunities come along. I don't want to scare him off with something to high, nor do I want to feel like I got cheated. I am excited about me first paid gig, and I just want it to work out, bc I know I will have fun with it and I could REALLY use the money.

Any professional model or agency would ask for more information. May 28 06 10:48 am Link "PaperCity Launched in Spring 1994, PaperCity (titled The Paper until 1998) is a style publication covering fashion, home design, social, travel, restaurants and entertaining with lively coverage of parties, galas and charity events." Given the above, from their website, the shoot would most likely be in trendy, high fashion attire. Those shots usually pay (here) about $70-$100/hr with makeup and wardrobe provided, of course. A good magazine to have a tear from. Hope this helps.

Some beginning models will take the assignment just for the tearsheet. May 28 06 10:55 am Link you both have good points which will inturn help me very much in the issue. Thank you.
