As a film student - you show promise, but you need to build your port. TFCD until then.

I like to see more versatility in an MUA's port - I love this one and shows your capabilities. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/36729404
The rest do not tell me something you can do a model cannot do better herself. I shall say TFCD.

You emote well in front of the camera - I like that. But a non-nudity clause brings your rate down somewhat. I shall say about $40/hr

This picture is in my opinion is one of the better B&W ones in entire MM. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/36999824

I would expect a little improvements on your expressions front please. What say - just my opinion again!

I shall pay $65/hr

You have sharp features and a prominent jaw line which essential for Print models. Build a diverse port on TFCD first - you will soon be making money with your unique looks.

Very few people are as humble as you in a world of vanity. This is an outstanding picture - https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/37018796 . The lighting, the execution is of highest caliber. You should charge $75/hr. A caution on the post production editing - do not go overboard.

Going strictly by your port here - I think you will have to pay models to be photographed. Your instagram shows your talent in conceptualization - why not explore that?

Very nice port - I would put a few more of B&W nudes from your website into MM. You could also weed out a couple of existing ones in here.

Coming back to business - I would pay you $75/hr

Martin - forgive me, but I will wait for you to build a port before hiring you. For now - you will have to pay models to pose for you.

It's easy to be humble when you know there's still so much to learn. I'd have been happy with any answer over $1. wink

I'll keep your caution in mind. I try not to go crazy with the post-production, though I've admittedly been a bit more free-handed with it lately.
