paying a model
probably been delt with before but cant find it .if you pay a model are you still expected to give them shots from the shoot .thanks Aug 28 14 04:58 pm Link No Aug 28 14 05:05 pm Link Does employee working at Best Buy expect to take home a 50" TV on top of their pay check ? Aug 28 14 05:09 pm Link Nope, that is often why a photographer may pay a model without a client. If you can't be sure your idea is going to come out to your standards you can't really promise a trade. You also can't give them anything if you were shooting some commercial or publication work, at least not until after its been published and that could be many months Aug 28 14 05:10 pm Link No Aug 28 14 05:15 pm Link thankyou . thought as much .im the one getting the car to shoot on organising everything . Aug 28 14 05:15 pm Link Only if that's what you agreed to. Aug 28 14 05:22 pm Link I mean I've been paid, and I've gotten photos...it's a plus, not expected... You have to realize it doesn't stop the model from taking the photos and uploading the photos herself on any place that you have posted the photos online... Aug 28 14 05:25 pm Link I do not pay models and provide images. Aug 28 14 05:29 pm Link No. But it certainly is a pleasant surprise when the photographer does offer to send images. Aug 28 14 05:31 pm Link If I'm being paid I don't expect it. Maybe 25% of the time I get emailed photos I've also been paid for. Once in a great while they'll pay me and let me choose my own final edits. I really don't expect that, but it's certainly a nice surprise. Aug 28 14 05:36 pm Link Depends what you and the model agree to. Whatever you agree to make sure it is stated clearly before the shoot begins. Aug 28 14 05:37 pm Link It's nice to do but not something you have to do...I always did just because it's easier to network and maybe get some more likes on my pages etc. but don't make it part of any agreement. This way if you are not happy with them you don't have to share. Aug 28 14 05:51 pm Link I think it is a nice thing to do. Especially if the model wants them. I always give them a copy of the jpegs on a thumbdrive at the end of the shoot and send them edits to the raw photos when I make them. Unless they say they don't want them. Aug 28 14 06:05 pm Link It's whatever you agree to with the model. I've paid in the past and have given the models images too of their choice. It actually helped to promote me. One model that I know of is actually using my pictures on her comp card and website. Others are using them in their portfolios. Aug 28 14 06:09 pm Link Most of the time I get both.

I don't know why most professional models would want unfinished images, so that's a different matter.

Aug 28 14 07:55 pm Link Generally no, but if that was part of your agreement then yes.

Aug 29 14 07:22 am Link Caitin Bre wrote: When will we get to see all these images? Aug 29 14 07:34 am Link I often give out free pics, I looked on it as a marketing tool when I was still marketing myself. I found that physical prints, with a label on the back with my contact details, and no watermarking on the front, were most successful, because they were the ones that the models kept, or used in their books. Image files, watermarked, when I gave those out, just tended to sit on computers or get posted to Facebook, not what I wanted. As others have posted, do what you have agreed to do, but if you want to go that extra bit further then most models won't mind.

Also, depending on the shoot, the images may come out of the camera ready to use. Many of my photos are untouched other than b&w conversion. Aug 29 14 08:10 am Link I have sometimes given a model images even though I paid her. Aug 29 14 08:11 am Link Even for paid shoots I'll always give a few photos, but I'm a hobbyist. Aug 29 14 08:15 am Link 90% of the time I will receive images. The reason for this is that, well it is the art community so why wouldn't you share your work? Also if I use them it is a good word of mouth to other models. I love seeing the results of all the shoots I do with someone. It's pretty awesome to see what we created together. All in all it is a positive thing to give images to the model regardless of if you are paying or not. The details in that are how many you want to give and if they can edit them. I'd say it is usually a bad idea to let the model edit images but it is whatever you agree with them.

She may find one in several hundred that she likes. Aug 29 14 08:24 am Link I don't often pay models, but when I do I always offer a hand full of final processed photos after the shoot. I also ask that they credit me on the photos they use in their portfolios. I think it's a win-win situation.

Most photographers will tell you "if you give a model money, then don't give her photos". Aug 29 14 11:38 am Link More experienced models will say no, they don't expect them. New or less experienced models may have a different expectation as they may not understand the 'big deal' about making copies of something on a disc. Especially if it's 'their' photos (I have heard people talking about photos OF them as being 'theirs'). Aug 29 14 11:52 am Link No you don't have to, but it might be a nice good will gesture; especially if you enjoyed working with the model and want to do so again, or just to be nice. Be sure that you get some sort of signed agreements spelling out the rights that the model has to the photos. Aug 29 14 12:03 pm Link On MM, I usually get images and photos. In the outside-MM world, I usually get images and photos. The reasons are different. On MM, I find few people are willing or expecting to pay a decent day rate (at least for a clothed model). So, if I agree to a rate well below my typical day rate, images are generally also negotiated. While a "fair rate" certainly varies from person to person, I'd say if you're paying multiple hundreds of dollars for a day, models are less likely to expect images. If you've negotiated $60 for a full day's work (which I've seen happen), then I'd say it's best to throw in some photos. Outside of MM, I'm usually paid for client projects, so I get to use and share the photos they post. I get the idea that, if you're paying a model because she wouldn't test with you, you don't want to give photos. This is rarely the situation I find myself in. tl;dr Talk about photos explicitly beforehand, and in email/ text/ some form of writing. It'll save you the headache. Aug 29 14 12:10 pm Link |
