What does a model's fee include?
I had a photoshoot with a model who charged me $50/hr. We drove to San Diego and from the time he left the car til the time he got back to the car was 8hrs. The total cost was $400 which I was not expecting. It took us 30min just to walk to the beach where the shoot was to take place, plus he changed a few times and I needed time to setup and move to various locations. Not to mention time we just chatted. I thought the fees were supposed to be actual modeling time. Am I wrong?

You shouldn't be expected to pay for 'breaks,' 'cell phone time,' 'make up time', and so forth. However, as she was gone the entire time, you really should have discussed the shot with her in advance and agreed upon a day rate, which should have been put into a model release/contract and signed by both of you prior to the shoot. Don't wait until the shot is over to begin discussing price and/or cost. Remember, if the model is on location with you, she's unavailable to shoot with anyone else. She gives up her time for your project; if you're paying her (and she's not paying you), then she deserves to be paid for her time, in total (minus any break/lunch/personal time).

From his point of view.... walking to the site was time on the clock, Changing locations was work related, Dressing was part of the job description, as was shooting time. If any of these were not time you were expecting to pay for then that should have been clear before the shoot, Jun 06 06 09:14 am Link wat chris said.
