Knowing what's expected of you is half the battle. The other half of the battle is knowing how and where you can stand up for yourself. We are creating an industry where all talent are treated with respect and work together to create great work for the benefit and success of all involved.

Thank you so much!
Thank you for watching!
Very informative! Thanks so much!
Thank youu!
I just got signed to a new agency. 2 weeks ago. They sent me a list of photographers that I may want to test with. I chose my photographer., They wanna charge me 600 USD i don't know if this is normal.
Yes that's well within the range for acceptable test shoot rates. Ideally you can reach out to a number of their photographers and get their rate and deliverables and then compare and contrast based on how much you get for the price as well as the quality of the photographer. In my experience you can expect anything from $250-$1000
This was so informative!! Thank you so much
You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed!
Thank you for putting this up. You are so beautiful. X❤
