75 an hr for topless is way out. Remember there is a credit crunch/recession ......... relatively little paid work/money about in comparison with the sheer volume of models. Then there's all the students, part timers etc, a lot of whom will do topless in exchange for photos on a c.d. or pocket money as they want the cash.

LOL no Franseca said "at least ?75"... AT LEAST !!! Surely ?100 plus... maybe more MWAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAH !

OK Back to the real world... Yes Topless is around ?30 ish, I know soem girls who charge as much as ?50... usually offer a decent half day and full day rate, always best to hire on the half or full day...

Of course if your hiring Michelle Marsh or Lucy Pinder then you might find Franseca prices quite resonable lol

wow....i know from booking girls for some of my sites that some are WAY overpriced but good luck to them if they think they are worth the money. I would never pay that without good reference from someone i can trust that they are worth it though.

I am an experienced model, very professional and easy to work with. I dont need guidance but am happy to take it should the photographer prefer. My rate for topless is 35 GBP per hour. I may stipulate a longer than normal minimum booking if there is travel involved to make it more worth my while.

hope that helps!

?75 is pretty excessive for stills unless you are Jenna Jameson, but then most the girls who regularly visit this site are pornstars and it would really not be feasible for them to do a 2 hr shoot at 30ph - especially if travelling .

A lot of girls have minimun fees and minimun booking durations. I charge ?50ph minimun for my time regardless of whether it is topless of fully nude although my half day and full day rates are more negotiable. I occasionally accept part pay part content from photographers that have booked me for shoots in the past and I trust to not take the piss.

I appreciate that there is a credit crunch but if girls place so little value on their time and worth then it causes the whole industry rates to go down. I know we fucking love it, but we do a good job mostly and it should be rewarded accordingly. Plus how else are we going to keep ourselves in clothes, lingerie,cosmetics, shoes, sex toys, lube, maintenance?!

I have seen girls on another site advertising continental all day for ?50. Well perhaps it is a hobby for them but it's not realistic for those who intend to model/perform as a business. Unsurprisingly those are the ones that get jaded and suddenly disappear when the work dries up or they start to feel cyncical.

I agree with Rebekah that longer shoots should reflect cheaper rates.

Competition should be healthy and not mean resorting to plugging our holes all day long for the price of a pint and a bag of pork scratchings!

Girls on the hobbyist websites routinely do topless for the price of a CD, so prices are rock bottom. If you want a specific model, then you'd have to pay what they charge, but if you're just looking for any topless model, its likely you'll find one for free on those sites, but you'll have vast choice for ?20/hr upwards.
