I pay my models according to the type of work they're doing for me. My pay scale starts at $30 per hour for bikini & lingerie pics, $50 per hour for topless, and $75 per hour for nude, paid in cash at the end of each shoot. I currently don't do xxx of any kind, but if I did, I'd pay the models $150 an hour, but I've really never been all that interested in those types of shoots, I'll leave that up to the paysites. I do require the models to sign a legal contract, and they must show me proof that they are indeed 18 or older. When I pay them, they must sign a reciept, and they get their cash in full.

Camera -- Digital all the way, no question. I was using the kodak dc 210 plus, and now I mostly use my new Toshiba 3.3 megapixel, it even shoots up to 5 minutes of video

I keep it on the higher res setting, I take 55 shots and then connect to the usb and download them in seconds. Then I shoot another 55, and so on until the shoot is done. The pics are huge and clear, and I edit them later and size them down for the net with Paint Shop Pro 7.

As for recruiting new talent, I use a few different methods. If I run out of new faces, I'll either offer my existing models a small referral fee for finding me someone suitable, or I'll run an ad in the local paper. My ad says something like

"Models wanted: part time modeling assignments now available for women 18 - 40, experienced or not. Categories include bikini & lingerie shoots, all local, $30 to $75 per hour (cash) call: (phone #)"

Once the girls start calling (and they do, tons of em) I put my cordless head-set phone too good use, and I qualify them, one by one. I set up a template file, and I ask them some basic questions over the phone, such as their stats (ht, wt, measur.) and if they are exp or not, and I keep it brief. Then I set up a meeting with the ones I think might be what I'm looking for, and for the meetings I pretty much set aside 2 evenings, and I offer them a choice of times on those evenings. I allow each girl 20 minutes or so, and I slot them in. The meeting is usually at a local coffee shop so they aren't coming to my home, and they seem to feel more comfortable in a public setting, especially if the model is brand new to all this. I have a quick talk with them, and a good look at them, and if I like what I see, I book them for a shoot. If I don't, I simply tell them that I now have their info, and if anything comes up I will call them, and I thank them for coming. I don't like to offend anyone or make them feel innadequate in any way, so that is the way I leave it with those that don't qualify.

Most if not all the girls will ask about the pay, and I tell them it's $30 an hour for bikini & lingerie. Many of them ask about the "up to $75 an hour" part, and I tell them that I have a limited amount of work in the topless and full-nude area of modeling, but that it's not necessary,...but if they seem interested, I offer that work to them

After I work with them a few times, there are girls that will only do the bikini and lingerie stuff, but for the ones that are doing the nude content, I would then sound them out as to their willingness to do the xxx. I must stress here that you really have to be a good judge of character soas not to offend anyone. I like to see if I can get THEM to ask me the big question "well, is there any way I can make even MORE money??" ...and there you have it, a few models that will do it all for you.

Many of my models talk to their friends about this, and I haven't had to run a newspaper ad in over a year now because of those referrals. And, above all, discretion, good judgement and professionalism are the key here at all times. I haven't directly approached a girl in a bar yet about this, but if I did I would have a good professional-looking business card handy for sure. I've been out with a female, and had the female go talk to someone about modeling, and that has brought in some success as well, but it's not something I would do too often. Better to have them come to you.

Good luck all.
