This whole per hour thing isn't how things work in the nude modelling biz. Girls are hired by the half day or full day.
Half day is a few hours, full day 5 hours maybe more if they are
cool chicks. You can't get a girl to show up for $200 for an hour and a half. Half day is minimum.

Total amateurs you recruit out of the newspaper are going to cost you $200-300 US. These girls are easier to deal with cuz they're not pro's yet. These girls are also in short supply. Most
are fugly though you do find gems sometimes.

Girls who have modelled before, probably have an agency representing them, make more. I have several on Wanton Girls that make well over $100 an hour. Plus there is an agency fee to be paid. This is for standard solo girl stills work, including finger/toy insertion.

Once you mention video to these semi-pro type girls, that's extra, in most cases a lot extra. They get paid $800 - $1500 a scene by video producers for video so when they are shooting for Net photographers who also want video they expect to be paid for that video work.

You can fuck around behind an agent's back, cuz these girls don't give a shit all they want is money - BUT it's a small little world in L.A. and if you screw agents you jeopardize your ability to have a fresh supply of models to work with. People tell me that i'm wrong and to forget the agents. Easy for them to say, they don't need 200 models a year.

That's why you will always see new models on Wanton Girls, we pay top dollar and play by all the rules. We have to - cuz we don't do any licensing we need a lot of exclusive custom clients which means we need lots of new models every month. I doubt there are many shooters who've shot as many models as we have.

Problem i'm having is that there just aren't enough super cute girls.

It's an expensive proposition. So when I tell you my prices on some great photography, you are getting a bargain.
If you went out and did this yourself, opened your own studio your costs would be about the same as you would pay me with NO headaches. Actually until you got it down pat, you'd wind up spending more shooting for yourself.
