Is this rude

right...

but I thought the first line pretty much spelled it out. I will admit (not being funny) I'm often not as clear as I can be.

hmmmm perhaps an adjustment.

with regards to my rates I don't publish them, I charge different people different rate. The more beautiful, photogenic women I charge more.

 

I suppose when your reputation precedes you then you will be there with a wordless profile too.

 

no, they make 25.00 per hour...brand representing/selling...doing makeup...some work on the side with photographers but not always steady work...others pick up weddings and make an easy 500 in a day

 

ehhh..ya don't say.

 

which ones my lovely wovely....tell me and it is GONE!

 

Of course not lord Jordan,this was just my bid to get your attention. Now that I have it,I need to ask a favor. Can I borrow some money? Some ninjas stole my wallet and their holding the 35 dollars in it for a 45 dollar ransom.

I'll pay you back as soon as I can,you can hold my EBT card as collateral.

 

Then I dont wanna tell ya.. haha..... you might not want to remove them and who the hell am I to expect that.. I mean....

 

do I strike you as the type of person that will do something that I don't want to do?

 

LOL.. net even a little!!!
IF"" I choose to hire you here are rates I am willing to pay. These are my basic rates and are not locked in stone. Basically if I did not contact you to work with you...you pay me, I will not pay you.

MUA
$35 - $45 per face if shooting in a group
(note to models - If I have never worked with you before I will not pay for an MUA for individual shoots)

--RATES--
- Non nude: $35 per hour
- Implied / lingerie $40.00 per hour
- Nude (Artistic and Erotic): $75Per hour (please have something more to offer than naked-ness. If I wanted to pay a woman to get naked I'd go to the strip clubs...(and it would cost me far less money)

And Please don't ask for $50.00 an hour when you have a $12.00 portfolio. If you expect to get paid, then you should expect to work. Everyone wants paid assignments, but you get paid based off your ability not your desire.

Some of the things I'm looking for.

- As a photographer I should have to chase you, not lead you.
- Make Your Posing Look Natural
- You are the tool, know how to use it
- Sex sells, but seduction and love builds and destroyed Kingdoms
- Come with Posing Ideas
- Hands and Facial Expression
- Be an Idea Factory
- Posture
- Mona Lisa Smile
- Be Bold
- Be Aggressive
- Ability to play in chaos (meaning some shoots there are going to be more than 1 photographer you will be expected to work with them all)
- Sense of humor. My shoots are FUN! If you aren't we probably aren't going to work well together.

Bring your favorite CD, iPOD play list, or just hum and lets have fun making amazing images!

- You may bring any escort you please EXCEPT BOYFRIENDS, HUSBANDS, YOUR PARENTS or CHILDREN

The underlined comes across as a little snide and sorta unnecessary me thinks.... It reads as you have had those issues before and think its better to come across as, 'models in the past have know better than to pull that' ya know? I dont know if explain that correctly...
?

 

Ok I got you. I'm not sure if you want a proofread on the quote because I know we are liberal on the forums about grammar and spelling.

 

I thought that too but I remembered a saying. If someone made a rule or law that means some one did it before and they want to prevent people from doing it again. If it isn't put there, he may get people doing that again to him. He might be able to sugar code it a bit but I have no idea how you sugar code that to get your message across.

 

That was my point, to not come across as it has not been done to him before - because he is above that. No sugar coating tho.

 

No, no...I get what you are saying. Something to think about. I know I wll take one line out. I can read it back and it does seem a bit...hmm off...

...but the line about "an hour when you have a $12.00 portfolio." I have to leave that in. I get tag by women all the time telling me their rate and then I look at there portfolio and its a dang on joke. You charge your ability. Give or take I charge either 72 per hour or a flat fee of 350.00

I used to charge less but that was my ability level. I could charge more, but I'd price myself out. A lot of women think modeling is being cute, and they don't understand their port is an example of thier business.

Now I have had some models who did not update their port and come to find out they are AMAZING, but I tell them the same thinkimg. If your port has 12.00 shots please don't contact me asking for 50.00 an hour. The other thing is I shoot nudes, but not much...

...and generally ONLY for clients. The reason I can't publish nudes, so it serves me no purpose just setting on my computer. A model will contact me,......pay my fee and then ask me "Oh...well I do nudes and here are my rates"

I'm not paying over 75.00 for a woman just to take her clothes off.........EVER. When I have women who will do it JUST to put a smile on my face. I need to get some artist value out of it.

 

man...one thing you will learn about me is my skin is thick.

Just don't talk about my children, everything else i fair game. if something looks off.....let me know. I type FAST AS HELL....(75wpm)

...error free, not so much

if models have been reacting to it then yes, it is rude.
