I've been emailed on AW by a photographer who is building up his portfolio and wants to do some tasteful shoots. He wants to know how much I would charge for this.I have no idea what to say!I thought it was going to be another one of those 'let me do something for you so I can get a free service,' type emails. But he wants to pay me. Or so he says.Thoughts?
I would echo what TrashAzn says.There are plenty of legit sites for photographers and models such as purestorm etc where students and photographers can practice for time for print etc on people that are actual models and want to build their own portfolio.So why is he on an escort site looking for people to practice on?I'd charge him the same as my escort rates after all that is what you are on there for and the time he is wanting is the same time that punters could buy from you.He is either very naive or the tasteful shots he is saying he wants is bullshit.
Photographer's that contact us in this way are often chancers, have little photography knowledge, fantasists etc. Exercise caution. I agree with everything the others have said. If I wanted a photographer I would be searching myself and getting reccommendations if possible
Are your prices not on AW
OK, I know I am dumb but if the guy wants to hire you then what is the problem, weather he is a pro, armature as long as you get paid does it matter???
