Amateur model charges

[rottie102]

How much would you offer an amateur model for photoshoot? No nudity.
Per hour/session etc?

[nick_bbb]

Nothing. If you were paying her she would no longer be an amateur

[rottie102]

Well, ok. Someone who might have done few sessions before, as a hobby or part time thing is still an amateur for me.
Just like me paying for a model doesn't make me a pro

Yeh. What you need is a part-time model.

If she's nice, try offering her a few drinks, nice dinner, your phone number etc...
Amateurs will also value copies of the pictures for their portfolio.

Have a look on www.purestorm.co.uk You can search for models in your area. You do need to upload your own photos and be approved for full membership though.

A lot of models will work on a TFP/TFCD(Time for Prints/CD) when they are starting out-they give their time and you give them a copy of the photos to help them build their portfolio.

Have fun

Having been involved with a studio that does alot of model work and also my girlfriend is a model prices vary dependant on length of shoot, location as in travel expenses etc, some will offer discounts for longer shoots.

Also depending on your experience of shooting models, it maybe worth while booking a semi pro model a this will make life a lot easier with poses as they know what they are doing and so all you need to worry about is lighting and camera settings. If your confident to instruct the model on poses you are after and know how well the model performs then you may consider a 'newbie' with a few shoots under there belt.

If you want any reccommendations of models I can probably send you a few details in your area if you wish just message me.

hope this helps
