@$350/hour (quoted on her page) I'd hope she is hard working.

Yeah, she'd better offer some psychotherapy or some legal advice at those rates.

If she can get those rates, why hate on her?

Is it hating on her, or laughing at the photographer that pays her?

I suppose it depends on if he and his wallet decides that she deserves it.  I figure that it's not for us to decide just because we wouldn't have made that choice.  I mean, anyone that can transform into a shrubbery is amazing, no?

I don't think anyone is *Deciding* so to speak about what this model is worth- but the OP should expect people to throw out their opinions when a model blatently puts her rates out there and they are (well, I think they are) way above what she deserves....

...and that's right about what I charge.

Maybe I should charge $350 and see if I get it

I think that's the issue with this argument.

On either side of the fence: model or photographer, the argument is usually made: if he/she can afford it, then more power to them. Or, if he/she can get it, then more power to them.

That's great and all that the OP can afford that model...but the reason people have taken issue with it might have something to do with the plethora of really beautiful (some are even nice) models that live in Miami that charge a lot less...and have a much stronger port.

I don't ever think it's a good idea to come on here and say "work with her- and this is what I paid"...you're just opening a can of worms.

he didn't do that though.....he just said she was awesome to work with, that's it. it's not his fault the model posted her rates on her page

Careful there- some of us are actually having a discussion and not starting drama.

If he wants to give her a good reference, he has a profile in which to do so.

Anyone else realize that on her page, she has a tag from the OP, written THIS MORNING saying he really wants to shoot her and he'll pay her rates?  Yet, on his page, he has photos of her that were  uploaded a long time ago.  My bet is that she is his assistant/wife that he talks about in his profile.

you are so brilliant

If I ever decide to get married and someday suspect that my spouse may be cheating, I am calling you asap. Anyone that can research and investigate like that is prime in my book. But don't worry sweetheart that phone number with the lipstick smear on the napkin is just a friend lol.

Thanks.  I guess majoring in journalism finally came in handy.
