Inna: You are pretty but your port does not justify your beauty. Please build a port on TFCD basis.

Your port suck big time. Why would a potential paying customer waste his time looking at pictures that are sideways?

I suggest you build your port on TFCD basis.

Wow, Wow, Wow! At 22, you must be THE most promising photographer I have come across in MM. Your port is wonderful, your eye for beauty and conceptualizations are very mature - but I thought this statement borders on arrogance - "...I gladly do TFP shoots, however with only selected models and for bigger projects"

You have a great future - go conquer the world. For now you could charge as high as 100 euros an hour.

You have a very pretty and photogenic face. But there are too many ambiguities in your port - a zero bust-line, an ugly pair of glasses and a write up that is too personal, an escort to all shoots policy, a no-nudity clause....Hmm...I am not sure...Maybe $25/hr.

Thank you for your critique smile An ugly pair of glasses is a $500 JF Rey frame by the way. An escort to all shoots is only for ModelMayhem shoots. When I shoot in movies, commercials and music videos - no escort is needed because I have no concerns about my safety. Zero bust line turns into size C with Victoria Secret miraculous smile So far I've been charging from $50 (counting driving time) to $250 an hour (depending on a shoot) and my work schedule is rather booked. As Michelangelo said, "The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it" smile Thanks again for your critique, your compliment about my face and good luck with your craft!

Rory:
A few things that come out of your port. You are multi-talented, good looking and are willing to take on anything that comes your way.

But your port is not ready to warrant paid assignments yet. You may wanna build the port on Trident layers.

You have a good eye for beauty, excellent sense of POV, but your post-production skills have a lot of room for improvements.

How about $30/hr.

Based on your quality, experience, everything else you bring to the table (I mean to the studio) irrespective of the theme.

Again, I am not very talented - but I am blatantly frank and honest! But please remember photography is subjective and opinions differ as does the definition of beauty!

And above 21 years old please. All others get ignored.

Let me start by saying - this is so true - whatever it is: "明日はないと思って人生を生きろ。明日に何が起こるかわからない。" Some day I will even understand what it is!

I loved the way you play with lights and shadows. Some of the portraits are awesome.

I am gonna say you should charge $65/hr
