Fetish
I'm going to be doing a fetish shoot soon. It's nothing like bondage, it's feet. But I wouldn't want to do this on a TF because its not something I would put in my portfolio. He asked my pay rate for this, and I have never been paid to shoot so I'm clueless. How much would be a fair rate for both the photographer and I? Jun 19 14 04:04 pm Link $100hr Jun 19 14 04:07 pm Link Northern Sights wrote: Even for a beginner model like myself Jun 19 14 04:10 pm Link Stills or video? Portfolio/personal website use or paysite? In general, the latter of both of those questions ^ pays better than the former. That doesnt necessarily mean that this particular scenario will follow the trend, but thats a good place to start. As for the beginner vs experienced thing…if you're not going to use it for yourself it doesnt matter much. Typically a model is told to start as TF when she's new and work her way up to low rates and then mid and then high rates as she gains experience builds a portfolio and becomes more valuable. But, thats really only useful to you if you want to build a fetish portfolio and market yourself as a fetish model. If this is just a one-off sort of thing, charge as much as you can while still keeping the gig. The money is going to be the ONLY useful thing to come out of the shoot for you, why lowball yourself on that? If you dont feel comfortable giving them a rate, ask what the budget for the project is (with the details I asked about above considered). If the number that comes back is good enough, take it, if not, negotiate or decline How much money is going to be enough to get you out of bed and at the shoot, how much is enough so that when you walk away you dont feel like you were lowballed and taken advantage of. Thats your number. If you DO have a goal of working in the fetish genre and consistently billing yourself as available as a fetish model, then you'd probably want to do some portfolio building and then price yourself competitively within the genre. Jun 19 14 04:21 pm Link Ask him what he usually pays . . . Whatever amount he quotes you, just add $25 per hour to and tell him that is what you usually get. That way he can either agree or tell you thats all he has and you can 'do him a favor' by working at a 'reduced rate' just for him . . .

Jun 19 14 04:33 pm Link Did the photographer offer anything at all? If not what do you think your time is worth Jun 19 14 04:34 pm Link ask the photographer's budget, and go from there, also as stated what is the photographer's intent on usage, that could help set your negotiating price along with his/ her's budget ? good luck, have fun !

Model Posts: 6639 MacMurdo - permanent station of the US, Sector claimed by New Zealand, Antarctica Fetish work is adult work. It is typically produced either as a commercial product, meaning the photographer is going to make money from it, or the photographer himself has a foot fetish and is getting self-gratification from it. DO not be afraid to insist on pay for this type of work. Be sure you ask exactly what the content is. "Foot fetish" can range from being fully clothed and wiggling your toes in front of a video camera saying nothing or you may be asked to talk suggestively while doing so. Someone (the photographer or another male or female model) may be massaging your feet or even licking them (foot worship). Foot fetish content can even include contact with a penis... be sure what you are agreeing to. No nudity, and no sexually suggestive scenarios should pay about 50 - 75/hr. More suggestive scenarios pay 75 - 100/hr. The other stuff pays more. Jun 19 14 04:45 pm Link I would say $25 an hour with a 3 hour min. Jun 19 14 04:55 pm Link Now wait a minute people. If models are going to work for free or cheap they should be getting something they will or can use. She stated that she won't use them in her port so I think she should start the bidding a little higher than if she was port building. Maybe $100hr is high but that is my opening shot as a photographer, I pay higher but never lower. I think models deserve to be paid well for their time and I believe, though I am not a model, that if you are shooting for an hour then it probably involves much more time than that. Getting there, waiting around, test shots yada yada. If a model is doing TFP to build a port that is one thing but this is another. Shoot maybe a little high and if the photographer balks then ask for an offer. In other words why show your cards first? What is their budget? In the end what will they do with the images? Lots of things to consider but if some one says how much aim a little high and negotiate from there. Jun 19 14 05:12 pm Link Laura UnBound wrote: That makes a lot of sense. It's for personal/portfolio use and it's stills I believe. Thank you for posting this! It helped a lot! Jun 19 14 05:12 pm Link I charge $100/hr for erotic/fetish/everything that's more than just standing there in the nude...take it or leave it. But as a beginner, I would go with what Ken said. Jun 19 14 05:14 pm Link I don't know if I would listen to Ken...he's only been shooting for a week or two and doesn't have much experience in fetish work....

Jun 21 14 08:51 am Link Being as it is soft core pornography, charge him whatever you want. Foot Fetish stuff seems to be one the most popular/sought after genres….. It's a lot easier in some cases for a photographer to find a hot girl willing to pose nude for a glamour shoot, then to find someone willing to shoot pictures of their feet for dudes to touch themselves to. Like other people said you want to find out exactly what the shoot entails and where it's going to be posted. Because it could be on some porn sites Fetish area. I'm pretty sure if you go on RedTube or PornHub (or if your less adventurous Tumblr) and look under fetish videos, there will be videos of people wiggling their feet and all that stuff that you wouldn't usually assume to be porn… So yeah.. It's also how much are you willing to be paid to have your body part featured on a porn site. Personally.. I'm pretty open to stuff in general (though when it comes to modeling, I would never do any sort of adult work.. Lingerie / Bikini is it for me)but Foot Fetishes freak me out. I watched this documentary on dominatrixes, and this dude called them up talking about how he liked to lick & make love to women's dirty & smelly used gym sneakers.

Is fetish something you see yourself doing on a regular basis? Is it something you hope no one finds out about? Jun 22 14 05:08 pm Link Foot fetish fully clothed nothing weird: I've been offered $200 per hour for a three hour shoot. I've also been offered $150 an hour for a full day shoot. It really depends on your abilities and who is offering. I would say, reasonably speaking, people will go for $50 an hour. Did they discuss their budget? If anything, if you go too highball just explain that you are willing to negotiate a lower rate. If you're comfortable with that, that is Jun 23 14 10:06 am Link Any fetish can go for $100/Hour Jun 23 14 09:34 pm Link You'll be doing a shoot that you cannot use for anything and that he will most likely be selling for profit. $100/hr is not ridiculous. Do a good job, be professional, act if you need to act, and be good at it. Fetish producers often use the same models over and over if they get in, do the job, do it well, and then get out. Acting professionally is also quoting a price, sticking to it, and making everything as easy as possible on the producer. If you agree to the $100/hr, be sure to show up ON TIME, with clean, pedicured and moisturized feet. Check with him about what kind of pedicure he'd like. Painted toes or not. Do the job, get paid, spend the money, wait for him to call you back for more. Jun 23 14 09:50 pm Link MoRina wrote: This. Jun 24 14 07:54 am Link Good Egg Productions wrote: This too...
