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? Okay, only "body" shot I have for now, lol, I'm in the red :) http://www.new.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=95979&l=5e5c4&id=514913888 AND This is me without my glasses. http://www.new.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=538741&l=ae229&id=514913888 PS: http://www.onemodelplace.com/member.cfm?ID=384997 This might work?

1. I can't see the profile... and no offense but don't you think it's a little bit creepy that this random guy that lives near you wants to invite a new, inexperienced model into his home and take pictures of her nude? ...think about it first?
2. bring a muscular male friend with you if you go. lol
3. As a Retired Detective with 28 years on the job; I would suggest that you don't go to Mr Unknown. Sadly his Home Studio could very well be a setup just to get you in his Home where he can do " whatever " he wants to you. If you must go; I would strongly suggest that you ask for at least 3 reference from former models that he has allegedly taken photos of. If he is legitimate; he should be able to furnish 3 names to you & I would suggest that you talk to these girls in person to see how their experiences were with him. They make say he was a good photographer or they may tell you he is a fraud who just wants to get you into his Home for his own reasons which may have little to do with photography. Also he may be unable to give you any references which reveals him as a fake . lastly, bring a cell phone & friend with you. -----Be Carefull -----
