Question from a photographer...

When I was shooting I did use an ad in the new paper. It cost me $70 at the time and I got a bunch of responses but only 1 girl was worth shooting. I would sit back and really crunch your numbers. If a girl is charging $150 per hour, this is how I would get some of them down to maybe $100 if you can. Ask how much experience they have. You'll find alot of them don't have much and are in need of the money. But either way you can still pay the $150 per hour you end up making $50, and if you do like Alex says, IE orginize everything like a tight ship you can get 2 to 3 sets in those hours and thats $100 to $150 in your pocket for 3 to 4 hours of work. When I was doing this it was worse as there was no digital and the cost for production was just crazy. I would not pass up this opertunity, but I would also be very careful. Is that company going to be buying all the time? You need to get stuf in writing and set in stone before you really move forward.
