Photographer wanted for Artistic Nude Photography

[yqt]

Those photographers who wants to fully give up their copyright, please make sure you give the model a contract that you are surrending the full copyright.

Oh by the way, fees for nude artistic shots and give up full copyright?

Photographer fees will be at a minimal $3,000 per shoot for 4-6 hours. Just to shoot without make-up artist, studio rental and so on.

Add another $1500-$2000 Per photo to retain full copyright.

The above is the market rate.....for ARTISTIC nude shots.

If model is not interested in retaining FULL copyright, then terms and conditions is negotiable.......

I hope that the rates you've given here are just your own rates. From what I know, that is not the normal market rate which is charge by most working photographer. A normal rate which some of my friends ( all working photographers ) and I charge will first depands on what is required by the client, ie: full and total copyrights, concepts, locations, set props, etc. For a normal artistic nude shoot with min. props, with MUA and which last 1/2 day, it will cost between $600.00 to $1K. This is just a gauge amount some of us and most of us have been in this line shooting commercially for at least 6 years. The rates which you have quoted when including the $1.5K to $2K release fee per photo, is something which is new to me. Maybe the very top photographers, maybe the top 1 to 2 percent will charge that rate, but than again, why should they shoot this kind of jobs where no one will get to see them.

Not trying to flame anyone here but I think we should give the readers here another view and not let them get the idea that all photographer are all very well paid.

hi yqt like to ask you a very "mountain tortoise" question.... wat is MUA? :embrass:

MUA - Make up Artist

Thanks for all yr concern, I know that there are sleazebags around and I have no intention of wanting my shots to float around the Internet.

I do not want the shots to be in the photographer's portfolio due to privacy concerns. That said, I will not do it for free in exchange for expanding the photographer's portfolio.

I do not require services of amateur photographers, only professional ones. Please do post yr replies here as my pm mailbox is full full full and I can't be checking it every minute.

My gmail is fine but I would prefer if you leave yr email address here so that I don't have to sieve through all the mails that are flooding in.

Thank you!

Seriously girl, keep your clothes totally on. Don't waste your time and others. The professional wouldn't be wanting to spend time on you for sure. In fact, I think you'll probably even make the shoot day an even more tense situation than it actually will be. and I don't reckon you'll fork out thousands to do this even you had money to spare...

Give everybody a break, there was once a guy who's fully shooting nude and erotic, was on newspaper, pretty good I think... Might as well go look up for him... Sorry I won't remember his name...

Not sure if this is the same guy you are referring to, Jason Ho from ezcapizm.com

Anyway, which working professional would wanna risk a lifetime of bad reputation by circulating your images??? To them, you're just another nude form that's not gonna make things anymore interesting(Photographers often get a mistaken identity(less a few black sheeps)...

Less a few black sheeps that you've mentioned, the majority really, really ain't got no interest checking you out...

In short, I think you're just too uncomfortable, that's why I said, just keep your clothes on. Put on a few more years...

Girl,

my next suggestion to you is that you shoot with a fellow member here less your face... See if you're ok proceeding on... If you chicken out, call it a day, simple as that...

We've seen veryweird's recent posting. There's nothing really bad about this one, just that it's a genre you may not wanna fall into...

Have a word with the lensman first if you can even click to go on... Nude photography is really not just about stripping and shooting, and paying...

Wow, is that what you are charging? I have not been doing commercial shoots for very long but my gut feeling is that you and your friends might be losing out on a significant amount of income. But then again, I guess whatever one charges depends a great deal on your business model, overheads, etc. Personally, I think i would bankrupt within a year charging $1k for a 6 hour shoot. Gosh, how does one keep up with equipment depreciation, studio rental, staff salaries, taxes, insurance, etc at those rates is a real head scratcher. At those rates i would have to shoot 120 hours a month, and this is even before post production, just to make ends meet. Yikes

It really depands on what kind of studio you're running. Base on your above post, $1K divided by 6 hrs times 120 hrs will give you $19,999 per mth. I don't need to make that to run my studio. Persent day studio, at least among my friends who run their own studio, cost of running it is around $3K per mth less their own profit. We're happy with a few thousand dollars a mth. For a studio to need $19,999 just to make ends meet is to run a very big studio in present day context.

i agree with student. photographer portfolio is v important. as such, he or she has to constantly upgrade. if im in it for the cheap trill, then pay me, let me drool over u and u can hit the roads. then i wouldn't consider myself as a true photographer.

i've taken nude pics b4 and its all abt trust. the models allow me to use them in my portfolio on 2 conditions. 1) their faces cannot b too obvious & 2) it must be artistically done. which i thought was fair. If I take good pics n not able to used them in my portfoilo... then its just a waste of time. i do understand yr concerns but its all abt trust. u may wanna go look for yr friends u think u can trust tat r into photography. maybe tat might work.

gd luck...:dunno:

 

[jOhO]

hey for all we know, the shoot has been done, and she's happy liow.. ahah

 

[Bobman]

Shot by you har .... hmmmm

 

[unseen]

LOL If she's looking for a "pro" photographer, the "pro" photographer in question wouldn't really need these extra images for their portfolio.

In this case, she's a client, she's (apparently) willing to pay, so who are you all to give her the terms and conditions? LOL it's the money that speaks right?

Of course if she is wanting it free, then her demands are abit out ya..

LOL OT: I read somewhere of a photog who shot a rich lesbian couple at their house. After basically watching a few hours of live lesbian porn, he was paid USD$5k or something like that, but all his CF cards taken by them.

 

[fotoudavid]

wrong, pro will wants the photos taken by them.

 

[morbidbear]

Aiyo peiwen, if you're so afraid of sleazebag photographers, look for professional female photographer then.

 

[Feinwerkbau]

HUH? Only guys are allowed to be sleazebags, theives and low-lives? Talk about sexist!
