Do I Pay Models?

I will pay models only with the following criteria...
  1. If they have been published in a well known print publication within the past 6-12 months... I will pay a model with this criteria....
  2. If model is posing implied or/and nude, or/and bikini/lingerie ... 
  3. If I'm recruiting models for a commercial shoot, but generally as an industry standards commercial shoots relay on only agency models.
  4. Has a fantastic portfolio.

CASTING CALL: December Studio Shooting w/ Professional Makeup Artist!

CASTING CALL 4 MODELS! (willing to travel to Hazleton, PA)

Why do I work for trade? - and - Portfolio Goals

Many photographers would love to get paid, and some don't care because its just a hobby. Myself personally I would love to get paid, but right now I have very specific goals for my portfolio that I have yet met and may not meet for at least another 2-3 years if I don't pay any models. If I pay models I'll cut my time in half or even more...unfortunately, because that money could go to other areas that are as or more important like equipment, advertising, etc...

Chris Adval's 2012 Trade Shooting PA Tour!

As you may already know I'm having an all day shoot in philly on December 2nd, and I've seen some other models in the PA Network on facebook asking for some TF work in other cities thats a bit too far for me to travel for me for one single shoot for one model. I've decided to look into other cities around PA where I could travel to and network with local models in those big cities like Philly, Pittsburgh, etc...  If you're serious about me shooting you and you cannot afford to travel to me ever (Hazleton, PA) I can come to your town if you demand it! And if you really want me to come and shoot you in your area help me network with fellow models in your local area, I need at least 4 additional models (total of 5 including yourself). This is for now, only for PA. Then I'll move onto other states that is 3-5 hour driving distance radius of me.
