The Right Time to Pay Models....?

I'd like to know everyone's opinion from photographers, to models, anyone within the industry, when is the right time to start paying a model to model? 


In my opinion (even as inexperienced photographer that I am) as a business person I don't invest into anything unless I know for sure I'm getting money back or it is likely to bring in money of some sort. I will not pay any models to model for me unless I'm selling the work created from the production we've worked on for currency/cash incentives, i.e. stock photography, magazines/published, etc. As for paying a model who is much more experienced than I am for the opportunity to have that model on my portfolio yea sure but thats when I know I could afford to and I know the exposure from their fans (if they have a fan base) will strongly benefit me.

Emotions...

A new production titled "Emotions..."


I want to have at least 5 female models and 5 male models showing their abilities in showing authentic emotion in headshots. This will strongly benefit those models that are going for an acting career as many casting/film directors are looking for these abilities. The primary emotion that would be focused in this production and expected by all participants is the ability to authentically cry, no special effects or camera tricks, just cry on cue.


Those interested hit me up an email at Chris@ChrisAdval.com or/and add me on facebook at www.FB.ChrisAdval.com

Hope to working with great potential actors in the near future!

Advertising (Model) Photography Ideas of mine...

This will be fun and very creative. I want to add to my portfolio photos that represent my ability to do advertising photos. What does that mean for those who don't know? It means the photo will be purposely shot for the use of an advertisement ether digital/print ad. I have a few ideas I'd like to shoot that is a bit political or for good causes. 

  • Clean Energy , more specifically encouraging people to use clean energy light bulbs compact fluorescent light bulbs. Shot in low key black backdrop and high key white backdrop.
  • Anti-Animal Cruelty
I have more but these are the ones I'm creatively ready for.

What is your procedure in running an On-Location shoot?

Question 3: What is your procedure in running an On-Location shoot?


As I've mentioned in my blog before about my first time on-location shoot and it ended up being a poor experience even though I did get some nice photos from the shoot. I would like some photographers to possibly share their procedures in picking location, dealing and working with the weather, picking the right days, etc.

Once I get the chance I'll be making this question a video to get some possible attention of other photographers.
