Model Work Styles and Rates of Payment
F.A.Q.

Rates of Payment for modeling work depends on many things. The publication that the photos will be used in, the model's age and experience, the location of the photo shoot, etc.

As a general guideline, these are the ranges of payment for each type of modeling work:

Catwalk & Runway:       IMR does NOT offer this type of work

Catlogue & Fashion:       IMR does NOT offer this type of work


Swimwear:                          US$50 to US$100 per day

This includes modelling swimsuits, bikinis, sarongs, T-shirts and other similar clothing at a beach or swimming pool location. 

Models do NOT have to be able to swim, but normally must be prepared to enter the water and get wet!

Typically shot at a seaside/beach location. Usually the first time the model works for the photographer it will be in her own country. With experienced models there is often the opportunity for beach location shoots abroad in exotic locations.

Minimum height requirement is usually 170cms

A good figure with proportional measurements and an excellent body shape are required

 

Lingerie:                              US$75 to US$150 per day

This can include underwear and sleepwear, and generally requires modelling glamorous, sexy or seductive clothing in a bedroom or bathroom setting. Lingerie may sometimes be sheer or semi-transparent.

Typically shot at a studio or indoor location in the model's own country.

Minimum height requirement is usually 165cms

A good figure with proportional measurements and an excellent body shape are required


Topless Artistic:                US$100 to US$200 per day

These photographs are made in a very tasteful way, often in exotic beach or outdoor locations, and occasionally in bathroom or shower locations. The model will be expected to remove her top, and the full breasts will be exposed. Sometimes “implied nudity” will be required, which means the model will be without clothes, but only the breasts will be photographed with a side view or rear view of the body.

Typically shot at an outdoor beach or country location, usually in the model's own country.

No minimum height requirement.

A good figure with proportional measurements and an excellent body and especially breast shape are required. However, breast size is not important.

 

Nude Artistic:                    US$150 to US$250 per day

These photographs are made in a very tasteful way, often using Black & White still photography, or “soft focus” techniques. The model will be expected to completely undress and all parts of the body may be photographed in an artistic, and revealing style.

Typically shot at a studio or indoor location, usually in the model's own country.

No minimum height requirement.

A good figure with proportional measurements is required. 


Topless Erotic:                  US$200 to US$300 per day

The model will be expected to undress completely, but only the breasts, side and rear profiles will be shot. There will be no genital photography. The model is expected to act in a “sexy and provocative” way, playing with her breasts for the camera.

Sometimes the work will involve working with one or more other models, and the payment generally increases depending upon the requirements and work undertaken.

Models are only asked and expected to do work that they feel comfortable with, and a healthy and safe environment is maintained at the shoot at all times.
