I dont know Rachel- what exactly were you upset at- her thinking you might work for a portion of your day rate?

I mean- lets say I have a day rate of $600.  Would I be willing to do a 3 look half day shoot for $300- sure.

Would I be willing to do a 1 look shoot for $100- who knows, maybe?

I dont know if the question is so outrageous, tho?

I am amused, not upset. Am I going to change my date rate when I have zero interest in working in the ever so popular porn industry... no. The point being that if she wants to hire me, which she contacted me, she can pay me my day rate and that is that. Also, for the record $400 is a lot of artists 1/2 day rate. My point is that there is a difference in something being overpriced and you not being able to afford it. So would I be willing to do her make-up for $150, absolutely not. If she want to pay $150 bucks to get her make-up done, then she can hire a budget artist.

Ohhh, gotcha.  I have a feeling that alot of people on this site may not be able to guess your rates or what you are and are not willing to do makeup for.

Why not post that info to lessen the "amusing" emails?  I do agree that her comeback right away with the "Ur overpriced" card was silly tho.

Yep.  $400 is most artists 1/2 day rate.  $150?  Um, no.  I don't think so.  Your work is better than that.  This is too funny.

Or you can tell her...well, the lipgloss I use is for high fashion and does not take much wear and tear, and re-applying after each scene would cost too much. 

Damn, that's terrible. I love it.

i am not even going to reply. but come on.

She thinks that 1 look / 1 hour for $150 is ok, but $400 a day is overpriced? It's not your pricing that is wrong it's her scheduling.

I'm not in your shoes, but I might have offered her a 1/2 day rate at $250 and see if she bites, but you also noted that you are not interested in working in that side of the industry.

Good response though (charity).
