In the past 2 days I've had 2 offers of work only offering me around ?150 for a 2-3 hour boy/girl video and pic set shoot...is it just me or is that a bit low?

Sounds like someone's trying to rip you off.
?150 is what I'm usually charged for 2-3 hours at US/continental mag levels.

Well considering we paid you double that I'd say that is low, that can't be from anyone who knows the business and the rates for certain levels surely, Adult work e-mail by any chance?

We may be in a recession but if they can't afford reasonable rates they should get out of the industry.
No paul it was 2 fairly known producers.
Glad its not just me being a diva lol don't they realise it costs a lot to look this cheap!

LOL... Only in porn !
OK here's my two cents... Model wants XXX for the shoot, Producer wants to pay XXX for the shoot... if the two can meet somewhere in the middle then the shoot happens, if not it doesn't... it's business 101, Porn is no different from any other business... except you take you clothes off !
As a company I always try and get the best price... Marks and Spencers does the same with it's Oranges you know... am I wrong and they are right ? Infact the bigger the company usually the more it's suppliers get screwed over...
So you dont want the work... cool. I am sure they will find someone who will do it... I agree for boy girl it's terribly low... I mean terribly low ! But with the current climate it does not surprise me...

Oh I totally get that, if I was a producer I'd also want to pay the bare minimum but that "offer" is a joke and to be honest I'm offended that he thinks I'm that cheap lol
Anyways I'll get on webcam tonight and earn more than what he offered me and sob that I won't be on his basic little website that makes no money and wouldn't do anything for my career lmao
As I always say; don't fuck with the strutt

Now I know who it was Sindy, I am not surprised at all with this person. Just remember your friend Paul paid you enough for your first ever shoot, the way it should be, I have offered less before but not much more as with new girls you don't know what you are getting but to offer that for someone who has been modelling over a year and has lots of experience well its a joke.
