Dont know the euro conversion rates. But I think it should be around $75/hr. How much are you charging?

You are a great photographer and hence 250/hr. You dont need someone like me to say that. But this site also need good photographers like you yo help models at a reduced rates. That was my suggested REASONABLE rate. Sorry if you disagree.

I do not disagree... just wanted to know what you logic was.  At any rate thanks for the compliment... I really appreciate it!

You are young...you need another 3~4 years before you blossom.. Now maybe 35/hr.

I'm just wondering - why is youth bad? And 19 isn't that young (I don't do nude/fetish/erotic/implied/glamour modeling, so commercial stuff doesn't really need to be in the 20s). I'd just like to hear your thoughts about age!

You are young, yet you already have had some interesting assignments under your belt. I am gonna say 60 for promotional and $75/hr for commercial.

You have a great figure and looks. But your port is one dimensional - mostly outdoors, in spite of having 75 pictures - I do not see variety.

I will do a few more select TFCD at this moment. But do not get me wrong you do have potentials.

Until I enhance my lighting skills and add variety to my port - probably $40.00 an hour.

Lets leave modeling to some other people. I would stick to your other talents - directing, acting, salsa etc.

You are a good portraits photographer. But Over all probably $60/hr. I dont know how many shillings that is translated to.

Pardon me.. But I didnt understand! Please explain a little more.

In some large metropolitan areas photographers and llamas have "reps" (representatives).  These people find them work and negotiate fees and terms.
Reps typically work on a commission basis of 20%-25% of the artist's fee.   

It seems you were giving a number of folks higher fees than they were charging. 
My suggestion was they hire you to represent them. It might increase their income.. smile

You know your lighting very well. Also you must be having a photoshop guru as a friend. I wish you luck Sir. Is 80/hr reasonable?

Oh Thanks. I guess. In most cases I have come close. Maybe my crystal ball needs recharging. Where is my charging cable?
