What are the current going rates for photo and video content?

**Mutt** · 07-17-2008, 04:33 AM

it depends on the quality and type of content - an exclusive glamour photoset for Twistys is going to be triple what an amateur photoset for an amateur type site like Karups costs. An custom exclusive amateur type photoset ~100 images is $150, Twistys and MetArt pay about $500.

same thing goes for hardcore videos - an amateur type scene could cost $1500-2000 - if you want better in terms of location, talent, makeup it's about $3000

What would you be including in there for $4k?

i don't understand this #, can't even book a model for $150, let alone cover production cost or make a nickel. is this on top of prod costs???

I would think a decent shooter will ask for 1.5 to 2k US$ a day for his work plus expenses for the models and location. The rest would be up to your imagination.

Presumably any good photog could shoot more than one set of a model during a session.

you need to learn how to work on an industrial level. Sell a part as bulk and another part exclusive .... choose your locations that it allows many different views without being recognizeable. Book multiple models for the same place, etc. It all does not sound like you can give creativity a lot of room (and from my experience) it does get a bit boring at times, but if you shoot 3 models a day with 10 sets .... you are the winner!

i see, thx for the clarification!

Even if you just work for yourself it helps to see how you can get more sets for the effort and expenses you put into.

i'm more concerned with quality over quantity.
