I've been modeling for a little over a year now  and I just wanted to know  what are the average rates  for an implied or nude model ?

This is just my opinion but you can do as you wish. If you are very experienced and can offer more than just being nude, I would say the top rate is $100hr here in NYC. Now implied - I don't pay for, different rates for lingerie or swimsuit, no way. Get yourself a flat rate for it all and see if you get more offers or less. If you get lots of offers, bring it up some, if you get less, bring it down. I pass on stripper rates for different levels of nudity, it's all the same to me.

In order to know what the current rate is, really depends on the area you live in and what other models are charging and also if your portfolio is strong enough to ask for paid work..

rates are whatever somebody is willing to pay you, you can ask for a certain amount and one group of photographers will be happy to pay you that while another groups is going to either ask to pay less or not shoot you at all. All you can do is set an amount and see if you get any takers and go from there.

Well I know the average rates in Atlanta for models but its not a chinese menu of nudity.  They are paid based on their look first and foremost, secondly on their ability to deliver, lastly usage.  I think NYC is a much more competitive market with lower rates than we average.
