Being a successful model is working on a variety of gigs that gives you great exposure and being compensated for them. However, being a freelance model comes with many challenges--figuring out what you should charge a client is one of them. There are no established guidelines for how much a model should charge, but in this video I discuss a few things you should consider to help you determine the best rate.

Each modeling job is different, each client is different and budgets vary. Ultimately the factors that should influence what you charge should be the amount of experience you have, the strength of the images in your portfolio and the client's budget/needs. Not every client is going to pay what you want to charge but knowing your rates is a great starting point.

Some questions you should ask before giving a client your rate:
---------------------
1. What type of gig is it? fashion, commercial, swimsuit, tradeshow? (swimsuit, typically pay higher rates because of the nature of these types of shoots)
2. How long is the shoot? (quick 1-2 hour shoot, a half day, full day or multiple day shoot)
3. Are there any perks involved? (will they pay for transportation, lodging, meals)
4. What do you need to provide? (outfits, do your own hair and makeup, props)
5. How many hours will you be required on set?
6. How long will the photos be used in market (if editorial)
7. Will this have national or global exposure?

Again, the pay rate for each potential gig should be considered on a case-by-case basis. There is always room for negotiation, which tends to work in your favor better than being too strict about what you charge. I've gotten gigs by stating what my rates were and then mentioning that I was willing to negotiate or compromise if my rates were outside of their budget. Or I will ask the client what pay range they felt would work for them and then decide how I felt about the proposed rate and if the opportunity would be worth going lower than my standard rates.

If the shoot is going to be a full day (6-8 hours or longer) or requires travel, then you should stick to your guns and fight for fair pay. If the client is not going to cover transportation and lodging then you should factor those costs into what you would charge since those expenses will be coming out of your pocket. However, most clients have no problem with paying higher rates if they know the model has to travel and stay at a hotel overnight in order to work for them.

Modeling pay rates can be per hour or a day rate. If the shoot is short (1-3 hours), then an hourly rate is appropriate. For half day shoots (between 4-5 hours) you can charge a day rate. Full day shoots (8-10 hours) should also be charged a day rate as discussed in the video.
