Nice port.

But, Pardon my ignorance - I see that some Photographers have credited you as the photographer in your credited section. I understand the collaboration between photographers concept - but every picture is unique, how can two or more photographers claim one picture?

I will charge about $50/hr.

Where am I credited? I know I've helped with lighting with a few photographers, but I don't even know where I'm credited.

I'd like a try now. I have 3 different folders, by the way. :3

I'd really, really feel mean charging, though.

You are beautiful - but difficult to ascertain your figure as your you say Weight:0 lbs.
I would probably charge $40/hr.

Thank you.
My weight ranges from 110 to 107 and I am very tiny.
I honestly don't check anymore.

Outstanding camera angles and lighting work. Very inspiring. I will pay $150 USD - in Germany probably about 125 euros/hr.

Very nice conceptualization as well as execution. But personally I do not like your brightness - contrast ratio.

I shall still pay you $75/hr USD. Maybe $65 euros per hour.

Nice lifestyle photographs - but for better marketability - we should have our port diverse by adding some indoors. WHat say?
Until then I suggest you work on a TFCD basis.

SOrry Paige - I indeed missed to comment on your request. I shall suggest a price of $65/hr. I like your conceptualizations. You are being able to capture the moods of the subjects.

Lillian:
YOu have an excellent eye for beauty and your conceptualization is outstanding. But I am a little skeptical about your brightness and contrast ratio. I am reluctant to pay  you more than $50/hr. Maybe a good retoucher will enhance your port higher.

AManda:
You are so beautiful and you emote so well in front of the camera. Now, a couple of constructive criticism - please do not take them too seriously as they are my opinion only. You need to trim your hair, color it for uniformity, get some diverse photoshoots under your belt and enhance your port. A no-nudity clause also is less marketable. Until then, I shall have to suggest TFCD. Let me know if you need further help. You have great potentials.

Thank you so much for the kind words and for the constructive criticism, it's appreciated! My hair has been a bit of a work in progress lately haha. I'm looking to do more shoots too. The only thing that I won't be changing though is the no-nudity clause; it's not in my comfort level. I know that makes me less marketable, but that's something I'll have to accept.

Thank you so much again though smile

Your eye for beauty is evident in your exceptional camera positioning and angles. I would love to see some more diversity in your port though. For now $40/hr.

I like your conceptualizations. YOu may give some thoughts on your shadows please. TFCD is a good option for those who do photography for the love of art. Please continue with your journey and create art.
