Solid effort to continue this for as long as you have!

I am little curious to hear how you value my work?

Really interested thread - even if only "estimating" it's interesting to see how everyone pans out using a common benchmark (i.e OP).

I'm interested to know smile

Thanks in advance! Craig

Some good portraits - but I wouldn't leave my day time job! You enjoy photography - is n't it the most valuable than mere monetary values?

I suggest TFCD

AI am blatantly frank and honest! But please remember photography is subjective and opinions differ as does the definition of beauty!

And above 21 years old please. All others get


Do you have advice for setting your own rate without an agent?

You are gorgeous. But a non-nudity clause brings your rate down significantly.

I am gonna say $40/hr

Pat,
You are a good photographer - you know what is good and what is not. Tell me why this pic in your otherwise nice port is a no no? https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/39671294

I am willing to pay about 65/hr for your services if you were in DC area

Odesza,
Your port gives one the impression as someone who is not even trying to get paid,  to start - the pictures' layouts need to be corrected. Also get some finsihed products of the photographs. These are obviously the raws...You have the potentials of a successful model. But these things need to be corrected - sooner the better! For now, TFCD!

Very well toned physique...On the other side - lack of height is a challenge to collaborate with other tall models. And expressions are wooden - that is something you need to work on.


I would still pay you $40/hr

Though I see the potential, based on your port - I would not pay you more than $50. Please build a diverse port to make yourself more marketable.
