Workshop Info For Models
Our High Street Photo Group Workshops are fun and laid back and provide both photographers and models with a great environment to network, learn, and try new techniques to enhance their portfolios.
We are excited that you are interested in being a model at one of our events! I have revamped the event structure to make it more efficient and creative, as well as guaranteeing more revenue for the models.
Below is the information on how we run our workshops and what we offer.
Description & Length: 3 HOURS. The Workshop portion typically runs from 11:00am-2:00pm. (Can be altered in the event of travel). The event is an open-shoot. I will set up certain lighting and sets, but the photographers are welcome to bring and utilize their own set-up's.
The events are advertised as fashion/lingerie/boudoir.
If you are not comfortable with any limitation, please let me know beforehand. I want all models to be comfortable and I want to avoid any unpleasant conversations /situations. Models can choose to offer topless/nude shots at their own discretion.
1 on 1 bookings: Before and after the event, the models have use of the studio to book 1 on 1 private bookings. They are done in 30 min intervals.
Models can designate their rate. Base rate is $60/30 min non-nude and increase based on shoot limitation.
$10/30 min is collected from the rate for studio fee. Models keep the rest.
Bookings start 30 min after the workshop to allow for a lunch break and studio set-up. We also offer the opportunity to book 1 on 1 sessions prior to the workshop, if the model is available. (These spots are usually heavily requested by photographers).
All scheduled bookings must be approved by me to make sure there are no double bookings and that the photographer is in good standing with workshop payment.
No 1 on 1's can be booked prior to workshop being paid for.
Model is paid directly by the photographer at the event. Pre-Pay discounts are now available.
Promos:
The purpose of the events is to network and promote you as much as possible. Photos and videos may be shared of the event.
During the event, I set up lighting, but don't shoot with the models, except to test. Therefore, included in the model fee, I reserve 30 min (or less) to shoot with each model during a free time slot, or before the event. I will use the images as promos for future events and publication. Models will receive all edited images and will be credited on any posts.
Video promos may also be taken during the event by myself or a videographer and posted on social media. All models must let me know if they would prefer not to be featured in such posts.
Model Fee:
We pay a modeling fee for the workshop portion of the day. I to be fair to keep the talent happy, as well as be able to profit and keep the events going. I also try and charge a reasonable fee so the events fill up. The more attendees the event gets, the more models will make on 1 on 1's.
There must be a minimum of 4 attendees for the workshop to take place.
The events are 2-3 Model events. Each model will be paid a Minimum of $150 event fee. Featured and traveling models may be offered a higher rate.
I included a chart below as an example.
Model A: $150 (base fee) + 8 30/min bookings @ $50 (non-nude rate) = $550 total pay for the day.

MODEL STUDIO DAY
An alternative to doing a workshop, models may choose to do a STUDIO DAY. Models can use the studio for the entire day and book 1 on 1 shoots throughout the day.
What you get:
- Full Day Private Studio usage.
- Use of all lighting equipment, backdrops, props, and changing area with refreshments.
- Promotion of the event on our Social Media and In-House signage.
There is NO studio rental fee collected from photographers by the studio. Models are basically paying for the studio up front and can work it into their hourly rate any way they see fit.
Fees:
1 model: $150/day
2 models: $250/day
50% fee is required to book the space and start promotion. If event is canceled prior to 7 days before, money will be refunded. Cancellation less than 7 days, deposit will be credited towards future studio rental (not another event deposit).
