My Funny Picture

New Model: Hourly rate?

I signed up for onemodelplace.com a while ago... I've received many requests in my area for artistic nude shoots. I have one that I'm particularly interested in, I liked his displayed work and they weren't too erotic for my comfort level lol. Also, he only lives about a 30min commute from me. "Just seen you portfolio on OMP. I think YOU are very exciting, and I'd love to do a shoot with you. Casual, lingerie, glamour, nude... I will pay you an hourly rate and I'll give you 20-30 pictures of the shoot. I usually need around 4 hours for a shoot, and I shoot in my home-studio" http://member.onemodelplace.com/model_list.cfm?ID=384997 -me! lol, not the greatest photos of me, just stuff I've taken of myself over the past year or so. You can probably see my measurements, but I should be putting up full body shots tomorrow or so. I don't know what to tell him for an hourly rate... I have never posed for pictures before in my life, and don't know. Some other postings were suggesting $20-$40 an hour, but that wasn't for nude. Thoughts? Anyone with experience?

1. I have not done any professional nude photo work but have modeled for drawings and paintings. The rates can vary upon demand and location. You maybe able to get more depending on what the photographer is using the photos for. You may try for $50-75 if his is using them professionally, or maybe a percentage of what he makes. Don't forget to review the model release forms carefully. NiF
