Had this question asked a few times. "How much do you pay those models to pose nude?" I really don't have a solid answer for you. I have photographed many models at no cost, just TFP (Time for Print - model poses with the idea that she will receive prints for her time). This usually doesn't happen if you have never done this before. Most real models (ie. not just an amateur who wants a nude photo of herself) will only do this if you have an established portfolis they like. I've also had models just ask me for travel expenses and nothing else. Others I have paid an agreed upon hourly rate. That has ranged over the last 2 years from $15/hr to $35/hr. For non-nude, it should be much easier for most people to get TFP deals with models. As long as you have an okay portfolio (doesn't have to be great). Many models want/need time in front of the camera (they need to practice just like we do). At some point, the models will start to seek you out. It's weird when that happens. I'm at that point now. -=>Donald
