Agree.. agency rate for a professional model is averaging anything from $800 - $2000/day upwards, tho can usually deal direct and cut that 50-70%.

It's kinda strange to call anyone who works in front of a camera a model - often they have little chance of ever being that - and the difference working with an actual model and a lump of flesh with a pulse can be substantial.
