Your concepts are breathtaking. So is your obsession with shadows. How about diversifying a little?

Like I said in my other forum - your port needs work. And a non-nudity clause decreases the market and hence the hourly rate.

$65/hr

Your new look is nice. Port still needs a lot of improvement. How about TFCD for now.

You are a good photographer. But your port needs a little weeding. You have some great pictures and some not so good ones. People like to see the best we can offer.

Lets go for that update. You have the potential, I do not want to discourage you by quoting a low number based on your current port.

Hi,
I like that you are still going. I really do not think I've asked before. If I did, then how about now?

I shoot trade only but, it'd be nice to now!

Thanks for your time on both posts! I'm in the process of building a stronger port and these critiques have helped tremendously. Cheers to 2014.

You have an awesome port. The photographers you have worked with have used Alaskan Landscapes and the models very well.

You look at least 15 years younger than what you state. smile Yes, you should turn pro and start charging. How about $40/hr to start with.

Hi and thank you,

I'm sure it is lens, light, photographer's skill and make up that is hiding the years, (its here in real life.) Definitely the photographer's skill!

Although I only have 2 shots from Alaska in my port, both indoor. I travel to shoot.
Thank you again!

Awesome concepts, camera angles etc. but I am not a big fan of your exposure and lighting. Again personal opinion.

I am gonna say $35/hr.

You have the potential. But you need to build the port and a 0" hip does not help much.

TFCD for now.

Definitely reasonable rates for a translator of Icelandic and Kalahari Bushman! Do you ever work in that capacity?

The fact that you are still going (and I am on a sabbatical of sorts) makes me curious about what you find reasonable compared to your local markets.
