He/she turns it around uses the money to pay for the venue, which is typically a commercial place, like a B&B or place of events, like for wedding or for parties, etc.. That place will have to be rented for at least 6 hours. We are free to roam around and take pictures on the ground wherever we like for whatever time period we agree upon. A part of the money is used to pay for the rental of the fancy dresses and accessories, for the make-up artists, and to reimburse the models (none of them is a pro model) for their gas expenses plus some extra money maybe. My understanding the organizer doesn\'t make money either but he/she gets the chance of photographing the models for free.
So, nobody really makes money as such, for sure not the photographer. How much do we pay? Well, it depends on the expenses, somewhere between $50-$80 per photographer. For this one, we ended up paying $60.00 and for the French Estate, if you remember, it was $65.00.
Joshua, are you based in SEA ? Your details say CA but your models seem to be mainly Asian (they look Malaysian ?) even though I saw one shot with three caucasians too.
My daughter used to do those \'mutually free\' modeling shoots too when just starting. Tog, model and make-up artist all starting out and trying to build portfolios.
