I will, after looking at your port, state how much I'd be prepared to pay you for your work.
Being a photographer I will only judge models.

So - if you are interested…

You have much natural talent yet I think that you have areas where you could still develop further.
I'd pay you around 150,– Euro for a shooting.

all the best

Your port is quite broad but you seem to portray only one or two moods.
But then you're listed as a photographer…not a model.

You could portray a very distinct style that not every model can achieve.
If this particular style was asked for by a client, or would suit a project, I'd go for around 300,– Euro for a shooting.
If not, then I'd probably suggest TFP plus costs.

Have fun!

Whoops!  I only got 5 hours of sleep last night so clearly I'm not awake yet, especially since I just tried to comment from the wrong account.  It's not my day lol

Having worked as one myself I know the going rate in my area.
So you would get exactly market value - which is about 45.– Euro per hour.
Of course it would depend on the job.

You seem to be quite versatile and can portray a lot of different moods.
You also seem to be flexible and of course you possess a marvelous physique.

I'd pay what my budget would allow.

You have very distinct features that makes it easy to recognize you.
A wonderful physique together with good modeling qualities: I'd pay whatever the customer is prepared to spend, no cuts here!

Lovely port by the way!

Whily you've got a lovely face your body language as well as your mime qualities seem a bit restricted. Judging from your port I am unsure wether you would be able to perform what was asked for.

I'd pay expenses plus a small fee of maybe 100,– for the shooting.

You seem quite limited in your expression. Basically I see two facial expressions. This always makes me wonder wether you would be able to perform what is needed.

So: I'd pay your expenses like traveling costs etc.

It is difficult with you. You are very apt for a certain kind of fashion shots. For fashion I'd probably pay you around 500,– Euros for the shooting.

For other shots I'd pay considerably less because you seem quite dismissive even arrogant in some of your shots. This "cold quality" is perfect for some work (like fashion) but unsuitable for others.
This, of course, is only based on your port. If this is not your attitude you should do some work to show your versatility and your warmer side.

You are interesting. You have a good face and body but I think you are more than just that. You seem to be able to adapt and act.
I would love to try and bring out more of your talent.

So: I'd pay around 500,–.

You are definitely promising but you have yet to find your style - and good photographers.

I'd like to see what you are capable of - I'd pay around 250,– max.

A promising port! Somehow there is a whole area missing: good portraits for example.

I'd hire you for around 200,– Euros.

Your port is difficult to judge for me. I would have said TFP or maybe expenses paid.
But this picture made me think:

Maybe I'd pay a bit more - purely out of curiosity.

have fun!

Your port clearly shows your versatility and that you are prepared to do the unusual.
This hints at discipline and good work. Together with your perfect body there is not much that can be wished for.
So I would say, I'd be willing to use up the budget I have.

schöne Feiertage!

While beautiful you seem to be limited in your expressions. Basically you either smile or you don't. I don't see much versatility in your port.

So I would definitely do TFP, maybe pay expenses - everything else I would consider a gamble.

You seem to be unexperienced but have potential.
In the end it would depend on how well you react to instructions/suggestions.

Definitely TFP, maybe 100,– Euros.

Great, although young, face - good potential.
From your port it looks as though you need a good photographer.
Obviously you need to be guided through the shots, which is not really a problem if the photographer knows what he is looking for.

I'd say around 100,– for the shooting, expenses included.
There is a certain area of fashion that I'd pay a lot more to shoot with you because you exactly fit what some customers are looking for.

Keep learning!

I'm not quite sure, your port left me unconvinced. You could be good but then again…
Try to get some good pictures for your port that show what your are capable of.

Depends on the project and wishes of the customer: up to 250,– Euros.
For my personal shootings I'd pay expenses plus TFP or something similar.

have fun!
