Does anyone know anything about the pricing for nude modeling?

Question

I have been asked to model nude for a limited realse Eu. black and white photo book. Any ideas on the going prices.

Answer 1

You decide what your worth. It's supply and demand. If the photographer and publisher want you bad enough, they'll pony up. You might want to ask about a contract for any royalties from sales, particularly if a later printing or edition is released. And get the sitting fee up front.

Answer 2

Research what other like-models in the geographical location you'll be working in are getting paid. All of the answer thus far seem to be all over the place- as are the answerers- which would indicate to me that you might want to do a bit more research on the issue if possible.

I, myself, pay models $25.00 per hour and up- depending on the look desired, the model's looks, etc.- so not every model is going to be making the same amount. If you have experience, you will probably get paid a bit more.



Regarding taking anyone with you during a shoot: this may or may NOT be a good idea. DON'T take your boyfriend or significant other as they do tend to get a bit jealous and you won't be natural in front of the photographer if you're constantly watching them to make sure they're alright with whatever you're doing. It might be a good idea to take one or two impartial friends- people you're close enough with who aren't judgmental or whom you don't need 'permission' to do whatever type of images you've been hired to do.



Always read what you're signing, and negotiate images/book(s)/etc., prior to signing the model release. It's always a good idea to have a copy of the finished work for your portfolio.



:) Good luck, be safe and have fun!

Answer 3

Around $150 dollars an hour for full nude. Either know the people you are dealing with, or bring a Friend that does not strip.



Get into kinky stuff (and I am NOT talking real sex), the price skyrockets. Bring two friends to guard. Only telling you that because if you do the first, you will probably hear about the second.



Forget about the real stuff.



So a guy had to answer some time.



I don't produce I view. But thems the facts. Good luck with it.

Answer 4

First check to make sure its the real thing & not some guy tricking you. otherwise the going rate for an artists nude model is between £50 - £200

Answer 5

Charge $25 / hr plus negotiate for a free book.



Whenever I do nude photographs for someone I'll always offer to give them a free product (whether it's the book/magazine I'm doing it for, a free print, or even a coupon for a discount on services later on)

Answer 6

well i hear nude models get paid really well anywhere from 10-20 an hr.

Answer 7
