Going rate for a Glamour model for car/bike shoot ?

[wiltshirewombat]

Hi, although been popping in and out of PH for years and years, never really posted anything, but got a question that im hoping someone might have some "constructive" advice for.

I'm contemplating buying either a customised 1948 Chevrolet pickup truck, or maybe a Harley chopper, and I'm thinking it would be cool to do a glamour shoot with it, I have a photography qualification from when I went to school (I'm im my 40's now) but im wondering the best place to get a model from, and what sort of going rate they charge.

Any help appreciated.

Purestorm or ModelMayhem is your best bet.
If you're good with a protfolio to prove it, you'll find somebody willing to do it for free, but then of course you may get what you paid for qualitywise...
For £80+ for a two/three hours shoot you'll have plenty to choose from. Every girl is an "aspiring model" now just like every 40yo+ male is a photographer

thanks for the reply, ive not done any models, mainly architecture, so its all new to me, the only thing that has prompted me to look into it, was I noticed on Ebay when I was researching Destiny Cycles chopper prices, a guy sold one for £10,000 and some of the photos he used was complete with glamour model and I thought "yeah that looks ok"

Bet you go and have a look now....
