Mhana's list of What to charge? what do you charge
ahh, Josie made a thread like this at the same time. All is good. one for the model section and one here. MODEL RATES-- questions answered here. https://www.modelmayhem.com/posts.php?thread_id=64694 Thankyou Josie. Josie Nutter wrote: We get so many models asking for advice regarding rates that I felt the need to compile a list of threads that already exist here in the forums. Basically, group consensus here seems to be this: If you have very little experience, you should not be charging people to shoot with you. You should be doing TFP (testing) to build a portfolio and gain experience posing, working with new photographers, etc. This time should also help you figure out what type(s) of modelling you want to do and where you're trying to go with it all. Be realistic. Even if you're very slender, you will probably never, ever walk major runways in NYC at 5'4" (unless your family is filthy rich and extremely famous... in which case, what are you doing here? :p). Rates should be based on supply and demand. They should take things into account like the quality of your physical appearance, experience level, demand for your "look", location, etc. Keep in mind that even if you are lucky enough to be located in a major metropolitan area, there is probably not a ton of paid work available for non-agency models-- yet, even so, tons of competition for that work. Price accordingly. If you are an inexperienced model with a poorly shot portfolio, asking astronomical rates for non-nudes, you will probably not get any work through this website =============== Now my list. Search for charge https://www.modelmayhem.com/search.php? … mit=Search I will not list them all. But most of the threads presented. I make no claim that the information is correct.
