Working with designers
This question is for all who have done work with designers (models, photographers). How do you determine what your rate will be with them if you are modeling their clothes? Is it less if there are some privileges such as receiving pics from the shoot or a discount or free clothing? What about for modeling for them for runway shows? I am starting to work with some boutiques and would like to get a general idea so I can get off on the right foot. Any advice would be appreciated...thanks!

If its worth it, why not? For runway through your Agency, you should assume you are getting paid, showing for smaller establishments though would be anyone's guess. Some might promise a picture in the local rag and that would be enough for some as compensation... Don't forget that there will always be other avenues of work from one designer so thread softly. I got booked to do a catalogue update by a designer a year ago and have had weekly paid fittings ever since...

Or is that just a Neanderthal approach? Jul 10 05 03:05 pm Link Posted by DreamPretty?: I don't think that is a Neandertahl approach. I think its smart marketing!
