Well, your potential is there, your work doesn't reflect it.  You have the ability, now go work with some killer photographer and blow up.

Haha! Thank you, good sir. I actually am headed that way, and I'll be in the LA area and available June 11-15

Just sayin'.

Oh, really now!!!

Ok course you know that those rates don't apply to me, right?

I'll send you a message.

You're not going to lock this thread or brig me if you find my critique unfavorable...or are you?

Honestly, I would like to see more. You have the ability, but I'm hesitant to pull the trigger.

Hey man,

Great work you got! Wouldn't mind a second opinion on my rates....

Take care,

Ok, you're legit.

And thanks for the kinds words!

You're rates are similar to what I have, but you may have to come a bit lower in this market, unless you are getting work consistently.

Beautiful woman!

Your port is missing something, that POP...that FIRE.  I wouldn't throw money at you, rather I would negotiate you down to the last penny.  I need to see more.

Thank you! I think the trouble is I need to work on more dynamic posing and expression. I can be a little stiff. Haha. Thanks, though!

Haha of course not
Thank you most helpful, I usually feel I should charge about £20-30 so you've given me a bit more confidence .

Most, if not all, of your photos demonstrate your athletic ability, but how do you look with fashion themes, etc.  I wouldn't want to pay for that and find out that you aren't suited for it.  Show more versatility.

Thank you for the constructive criticism, much appreciated!

Your street photo is an absolute classic!!  I've seen it before on the photographer's page.  Nice work.

You portfolio doesn't reach me the way it should, based on your experience. You're beautiful, cute, have expressive eyes, you seem fun to work with, but something is missing.  I'd like to see more POP, more flare, more cowbell.

So...

Your most recent stuff (top row) is something that may get you paid once there is enough to prove it can be done consistently.

Unique look, somewhat androgynous, willing to do nude work. I would exploit that.  Pay two or three of the top photographers in your area (Jullian Wilde, etc) and make your portfolio POP!  Also work on facial expressions, 95% of your photos have the tight lips thing going on.

For now: 20/80 Paid vs. Trade
$40/hr

Should be getting more consistently, though

Thank you for the time + tip

I know my rates but let's see what an unbiased source has to say.

I'd guess the bulk of your paid work is in the fetish/BDSM category. Your port is rather thin, though. I can't really tell.

Better get that port built back up. You don't have anything currently that I would pay for, unless you start busting out of that lingerie.

What do you think?

Wow wow wowzers! O_O

You have a great look, posing and expression are so-so, I will probably get cute photos, but then again, I may not. It would be a crap shoot that some photographers are willing to take.  I wouldn't pay, yet, but TF is certain.  And this: "No nudes."  That will cost you.

You know how to select cuties. Do these women speak French? Sexy time!

Seriously, time to work with models and not just pretty faces.  Also, photoshop is your friend.

Thanks. I haven't done nudes...never had to with most of the commercial and fetish (catalog) work I was commissioned for). Nothing wrong as I've done a ton of the implied stuff (got paid very well.) None of my agencies ever required nude work. LOL ;-)

It is.

I'll admit my port is a bit thin but that's mainly because the free account will only let me have 15 pics in the first place. :\  Even though you suggested half of what I usually charge, I'm grateful you didn't jump on the TFP bandwagon all the fetish people seem to jump on.

6/2/12 I've got some time on my hands so I'll bring back this ole thread of mine.  Let me set your rates! Get in again if you did this before

Imagine I got a big cash stack!  Let me tell you how much I would be willing to shell out -Or- if I would just trade with you and keep my stack.

I will give you a suggestion on what percentage of your work should be paid vs. trade.  For example:
30%/70% - Paid vs. trade

Let's gooooo!!!!!  Model / Photographers / MUA's / Retouchers
(Sorry body painters)

All jobs are billed to the client or their agency.   NO jobs are free,   The time that the job will take is  estamated,  and entered into the  Job ticket.  If a model is involved,  a  time sheet is filled out,  and  she usually is paid by the Ad agence.
