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 (that wouldn\'t be surprising in Sing\').
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.
Hi Kevin, that\'s basically it. It is just strictly for fun for me and for the chance of trying out different lenses  . I forgot to add to the answer to Douglas\' question, the photogs are supposed to provide images to the models and MUA to add to their portfolio.
I am based in California and in general, with some exceptions, event organizers are not trying to make a living out of this. In Asi,a it is a little bit different. They do not participate in the photography end of it and it is definitely more a way to make a living. But the actual amount they charge, in US $ that is, is relatively lower. Now, the ironic thing is, Asian models are quite popular here in the US but Caucasian models are more in demand in Asia . It just shows that we are very International in our preference. I am sure that you are aware there is a fairly high concentration of Asians here in California.
I have seen some images of your daughter that you posted here. Both your wife and daughter are very lovely. I do not mean any disrespect and I hope you don\'t mind me saying that.
Thanks,
Joshua
