Paying a model: Hourly versus Flat Rate
Sep 17 23 11:25 am Link A lot of that article looks like wishful thinking to me. In the real world, models require payment for their time and travel expenses, and there is always a demand for new models from the fashion industry. Generally, the younger and more innocent they look, the higher the premium they can command.

Sep 28 23 08:47 am Link I find the traveling models you seem to be referring to are very time efficient. They enjoy modeling and know reputation matters. They aren’t going to waste shoot time. I find wasted shoot time is more of an issue with newer, local, part time models (due to inexperience, not purposely wasting time) but their rates reflect this and they typically just aren’t as by the clock. If it’s taken them a while to get into the shoot, they are typically willing to go a little over in time to compensate. These models have typically been great to work with as well, the issue for me is more about cancellation or no-shows with these models. For me, models wasting shoot time simply hasn’t been an issue. Sep 28 23 02:12 pm Link I offer an hourly rate to models, most accept it because its a good enough rate and they don't want to spend time haggling in their DMs all day or across several days Its similar to the counteroffer you presented, where everything is just priced in a different scale that you prefer, but its my initial offer "The budget for this job is $X or $Y/hr" Learn where the market really is, and price there. Models wasting shoot time is also something you can weed out by talking with people she worked with before. Taking a long time to adjust makeup in the middle of a shoot is something that would annoy a lot of people. Book models that people like, and save them time in how they book. It is riskier to book just another pretty face. Sep 30 23 08:29 am Link I’m not understanding why the OP even wrote this at all. Both the OPs MM and website plainly state he’s looking for TFP only. The Ops website even details the reasons why. Sep 30 23 10:43 am Link JQuest wrote: He is pretty clearly jaded that he doesn't understand you get what you pay for. He is living 20+ years ago. This just isn't a thing. I KINDA get his logic, but it just is not reality. Oct 03 23 06:06 am Link |
