Your natural lighting lifestyle and B&Ws are of highest caliber. Keep up the good work. Asfor compensation - $75hr.

Thank you for the great comment. I wish modeling shooting was the main part of my photography. Still once a while I get to shoot. Maybe by the time to became permanent.
For now pays shooting other projects:)

Your port needs some serious work. You may have to pay a good polish photographer to do a professional looking port for you. You might get lucky if he/she agrees for TFCD work.

Jokes apart - You have long legs, take advantage of them. Show them more in your port. A non nudity clause brings your rate down a little - maybe $35/hr

You are a complete photographer - your eye for beauty is awesome and your perspective views of landscaping is out of this world. You have great understanding of lights and shadows...I could go on and on.

Good exotic looks. I would grant a $50/hr USD. Would have been better if not for the non-nudity clause.

The god thing is you have long legs and potentials of becoming a good model.

The bad is you have 4 pictures in your port.

Lets do some TFCD work to get a portfolio going.

First of all I did not understand why a photographer in Germany be named "Faces of Vegas". To get an insight I went to your website and looked at the portfolio. YOu have some amazing portraits there. I loved the one named "Diana_209-Bearbeitet".

For portraits I would pay you $75.00/hr. Please do the mth for corresponding euros? About 55.00?

Very much appreciated. I agree, the name is a bit unusual, but at least it has not scared you off. :-)

Indeed, 75$ should be around 57 Euros. Thanks again for the kind words.

Yes, you should turn pro and start charging. Your concepts and post production is awesome. Take special interest in getting the mood/expressions from the models. They seem disillusioned and have wooden expressions.

How about starting small @ $35/hr

You have 4 obscure, poorly lit pictures in your port and you expect someone to pay you money? How about you pay someone to be photographed and build your port! Fair?

I'm interested in seeing what you have to say about me. I also need to note that I have spent the majority of my last three years doing BDSM and Fetish modeling. I want a general idea of what you think, from the Photos in my profile. I don't have that many up, because I am still working out which ones I can actually put up - with the photographers permissions and everything.

But anyways, give it a go, I want to see if you are close to my rates.

Things I bring to a shoot:
Non-Diva model(I pull my own weight, and only make comments if it's something I previously said 'no' too.)
Serious when needed, fun when desired
Extremely flexible, both physically and mentally. (Not to mention with concepts and genres of interest)
Great at communicating, and capable of holding difficult poses for extended periods.


Let's see what you got for me!

Let's see what you got for me!

When one has an incomplete (read not enough pics - in your case) - the rates will be lesser than the potential. Also, why dont you have these two pictures in your port. Beg the photographers for them as they will add value to your port, https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/credited/1528873

One more thing - the camera angles of your pictures do not do justice to your beauty. With all the above said, I can not but say that you have awesome potential. I would go back to the basics of building a port. TFCD if I have to.
