Since my test shoot a couple of weeks ago, the employer Elaina Inc. decided to hire me.
The idea of the company is low cost cards for models, they only end up paying $400 for about 4-8 hours of pre-pro, make up, hair, and a photo shoot. I've seen the past works, and it seems very legit to me. (I say company, but honestly it is one lady running it.)
We are still discussing terms for the contract but basically this is the idea.
She will be getting the right to use my photos in comps, and portfolios for the models that hire her as she deems fit. She does not own the rights to the photos. If she wants to use it for any advertising she will ask me before using it, and if I feel it is needed we will arrange a price for her to buy the photo from me.
The 3 main photos will require me to put in 1 hour of PP, so nothing heavy duty. (Obv I can go over when I feel it is needed)
I'll be making $150 a model, and in a normal day we'll have about 5 models in 2-4 hours (Most likely the lesser, we take a decent amount of time to plan out the shots so there isn't much shoot time)
There is a non-compete section, but it is strictly for clients she has gotten me directly. Any designers that hire her, or any models. If they need me for a service she does not provide, it is fair game. (More advanced PP work, lay out design, pretty much any design for advertising)
Clothing designers are a completely new wage, which is all dependent on the scale of the job. Generally they will be a minimum of an 8 hour day.
On top of the ~$300 an hour I receive a nice print copy of the model's send ahead card to toss in my portfolio.
Honestly this sounds more then worth it to me, I'm getting paid for experience, paid to learn to direct models, lighting, taking directions from an art director.
I almost feel as if it is too good to be true, on average it would be anywhere from $250-300 an hour (depending on the length of the shoot) but I mean...I'm getting paid to learn. The shots are going to be extremely commercial, very plain jane, but it still gives me some real world work to toss in my portfolio.
So sorry for the long post! But the question I'm getting to is, if you were just starting would you consider this job worth it? I am going to take it, but I would like to see other's opinion on the matter
