This a good policy or should I hash out the cash large for good talent and make something like half what she makes from me?

There are models and models - a girl with a fan following is obviously more commercially appealing and sellable - and often costs more. The "average" model costs less, but she is exactly that - "average", and not exactly top-selling product.
Again.. depends what the end product is - if it's hardcore cheapo net stuff - who cares? If it's mean't for print media - matters more.
Botton line - Doubt there is *any* hard and fast rule - never found one yet. Only possible clue would be to consider what the end result is supposed to be, where's the market, what kinda financial commitment is it worth to turn a profit on that shoot. The shooters profit element can be less or can be more than that paid to a model - depends on commerical judgement. Sheesh - that ain't much help Cris
PS "Good" models (whatever that means), least the one's we've used are good for whatever the end result is supposed to be - but also good because they dump one hell of a lot more useable and marketable content on the table - ie if it's stills stuff - every shot will be perfect - not one in ten. Suppose that's got to be a factor when considering to pay more (tho even good models can screw up!)
