This is crap….We paid more for talents (note, NOT models because for commercial use, we want real people) and the price goes up with usage…eg Billboard has alot of exposure..get more…and we are talking about 3rd world fee here….

A $500/day model still exists, for sure. It’s not remotely unlikely that he started there- but this in-depth story neglected to quote his current rate, which is probably at least $5000-10,000/day.. at least.

As for surprising model good will, my bf books them for his work. It’s amazing how smart and generous the majority of them are. They do get to go to extraordinary places sometimes and have awesome stories (the one who ‘dated’ Paula Abdul for a year or so was chock full-) but most of the tales were kind of sweet.

500 a day for having your photo taken is a pretty good deal!! I know, I know a lot of models make way more, but 500 is not bad at all. He said he could barley afford to shop at a&f may I just ask how much do they charge!??

Look at it from the perspective of the company. If I am putting together an ad campaign, I need models to show the product. I want the customers to notice the product. The purpose of the model is to get the customers to want the product. Nothing more.

There are thousands of kids who want the work. Hundreds of them can get the customers to look. Dozens of them meet all of our criteria. Some of those want a lot of money. So we pick one of the others, and call him in for a photo shoot. If one of the cheap kids clicks, we don’t need the expensive kids. Even better, the cheap kids are usually the ones with no experience, and so are “fresh” to our customers.

Why would the company want to pay a high price, when we can get what we want for cheap?

If the campaign calls for acting skills, movement, dance, voice, etc., or if the production calls for a lot of expensive trades, then it might be worth the price to get experienced and skilled actors. But, for a photo shoot in a studio, the cheap kid who wants it can make it work.

Now we know why you see so many “ex-model” ads on Craigslist for those who are seeking “generous”??????
