So I've been entertaining the possibilty of doing some nude photography and advertised online for some models. One has offered and told me she'd do it for $400 per hour with a minimum of a 2 hour booking.

I feel this is quite pricy especially considering she isn't that good looking.

Comments? Anyone used nude models in the past and what was the cost?

OP here. No, it's for a men's magazine that takes contributions. Purely professional

Money, but I'm more interested in building up contacts and experience

Perhaps you should hire one woman that is a little costy but that is actually hot.

Or go down the streets and search for a newbie that wants to be known and wich will only ask you to advertise her.

here's something i've noticed. no models are actually attractive.

they are all quite weird in one way or another. i know a few models, and by looking at their portfolios you'll realise its all lighting, make up and post processing.

i think the modelling agencies prefer models to have unique/emphasised feature(s) cuz make up artists work better on people like that.

you could get a whore for cheaper.just don't advertise for nude, and hope you can talk her into it later.

I know it's corny to say this, but no one really wants a _perfect_ woman. You need to have some flaw to make her interesting.

Although, for a mens magazine I bet someone who'll get naked and perhaps do something "naughty" in front of a camera is enough.

Have you seen mens magazines or anything with a woman in it?

They are airbrushed to the bullshit. The Perfect woman is what sells magazines and gets boys all strung up... and they don't even exist.

What I don't get is how these woman can pose for the magazines knowing that they will be touched up almost beyond recognition, that's gotta do them good in the self-esteem department

They get paid and their face and name out there.

I think they prefer to look good, even if they don't look like, you know, themselves.

Personally, I don't much care for the airbrushed-to-hell look in Playboy and such. Don't get me wrong, I still fap to it, but I prefer girls that actually look like people instead of computer renderings.

HA! I haven't fapped to that shit in a long while. Trying to restrict myself to 'natural or that homemade shit. Usually not airbrushed :D

Op got me wanting though, i fuckin need some lighting gear and umbrellas.

How much do they usually cost?
>> ac !!VPzQAxYPAMA
>>107661
Not too much, especially if you go the Strobist route. There was another thread about it recently.>>107094

Umbrellas are only like $20 each, and lighting stands can be had for under $60

$400 per hour, 2 hr minimum?

Keep looking. What do you want to pay? Put that in the add on craigslist.

TFP. There's always models willing to do TFP. If you can't find you're not looking hard enough.

$800 for 2 hours for an amateur is bullshit. I hope you told her where she can stick her $800...

I remember a while back you did a shoot with a nice black girl. What were the particulars of that session?

Kind of hard to imagine how she could be a nightmare. Playboy model = hot.

yeah, she was a nightmare in the sense that she asked for too much. She was not a very good model, she was a playboy model. and with all good looking women they expect everything for whatever they want... entitled... so fucking entitled, and pampered.

I live on the policy:
NO ONE DESERVES SHIT, SO QUIT ASKING!
this applies to myself too.

Well, my college pays nude models $20/hr. Granted it's a state university.

$400/hr is more than I pay for whores. Seriously Craigslist that shit. That model is trying to rip you off.

seriously, I'm sure you could find a model who would pose for you for free.

OP here. Being that 800 is more than I spent on my camera itself, she can go fuck herself.
