The response I get is basically: "I told you what type of workshop it is. I don't know why you're having a problem figuring out your rates. I am no longer interested."

What planet is he from?

All of my fashion clients pay variable scale test rates depending on the "type" of test i.e. lingerie, fashion...ect.

You had a valid question and he showed his true unprofessional side

sorry I'm confused.........what is a workshop? never heard of it.

It's basically where a model poses for a bunch of photographers, and they all give direction (what fun THAT is) at the same time..while they are all shooting, at the same time.

I've done a few, and I continue to do them, as they typically pay well.

I knew you would come around !

Why would swimwear fashion cost more than lingerie fashion? Are you better at one than the other, and therefore discount your rate for the weaker one?

I charge differently for the two...and if the clothing is supplied, then the rates change again.

Lingerie, usually ends up being sheer...swimwear typically doesn't. So, that's why I charge differently if it's a paying gig. It's not a huge leap, but there is a difference.

What better place to spend New Year's?

If you get your hands on a couture dress, make sure you let me know. And we'll go play with it in the desert.

Hot.

I still don't understand. Are you a better model when the outfit is sheer than when it's not? Is that why you charge more for a sheer outfit?

What's good about the workshops though, is that the photographers meet new models there and then can have them to themselves on another shoot!

What I charge depends on the shoot, who I'm shooting with, the release, if I'm getting prints or not, MUA, blah blah blah....and, of course, how much I'm wearing.

I give 110% for every shoot no matter what.

This could get complicated if I break down every shoot and why I charged what I charged, if I charged at all. I'd rather not get into it. Thank you.

Chris, don't be thick. That is the norm in the 'book rate' end of the 'legit' business. It is only here in neverneverland that things work otherwise. (exceptions noted for major talent with major contracts, etc. etc. if someone responds with some kate moss reference i will shit on their head!)

It's the last item that has me confused.

How does what you're wearing change how good of a model you are such that it would affect your rates?

I do not care to discuss how I arrive at my rates. Thank you for respecting same.

Even I don't want to rent my studio!   

But occasionally, I still get off a good shot.    So if you're ever in my area....

Don't you worry about the images that come out from those shoots and where they may end up?  When I first started out back in '97, i went to a lot and I have to admit that my images were far from good.  it helped me, but I also noticed the other photographers that attended and some of them were very creepy.  As a model, I would have never completed those shoots.
