how much to charge for nude photos?
Hey ladies!
Ok so I have a regular who wants to buy some nude photos of me. Since I would be using my DSLR and they would be pretty nice quality I thought about $2/per photo would be reasonable. Since he wants about 50 photos, charging him $100. He said that he can't afford that until next year, and that if I went down to $1/photo he could pay me right now ($50 for 50 photos)
Should I tell him to go fuck himself or is that a reasonable price for nude photos? Sigh ::) How much do you ladies charge for that kind of thing?
Thanks!

Do the photos for $1/each, plus printing cost (you print them) . Watermark them with your logo (or join Makeitsexy.com and use their logo) so he can't steal/sell/copy them.
Re: how much to charge for nude photos?
Well I was just going to send them over his email, I don't think either of us want to deal with shipping and I don't have a printer that would really allow me to print decent photos :/
But I didn't even think about watermarking them, I suppose I could do that on my own in photoshop!
Re: how much to charge for nude photos?
DSLR is pretty high quality. I mean I usually shoot from my c910 and offer picsets at 25 dollars for 30 pics.
I guess it would depend on how good of a regular he is. :) If they are normally good to me, I let things slide sometimes.
Re: how much to charge for nude photos?
Definitely watermark them!
I would normally charge $3 per photo but if he's buying a lot then I'd go down to $2 per photo.
Tell him to just order 25 photos now, and 25 photos later :)
I don't go into the store with $100 expecting to buy two $100 chairs. They aren't just going to change the price to $50 cuz that's all I have. They will sell me ONE chair.
Re: how much to charge for nude photos?
I would suggest a written, signed license agreement that he cannot sell, trade, post, yadda yadda.
Also include a statement in your watermark that says "for private viewing of ----- not dor sharing, posting, publication or email"
For posting or sale, try $100/hr plus ....lol
Re: how much to charge for nude photos?
I hope this isn't too far off topic, but for those dancers who also do part time modeling for photographers and others, how does these rates compare to that? Just curious. PeachyPie: if one guy likes your pics, maybe others will as well. Good luck! :highfive::camera:
Re: how much to charge for nude photos?
I pay $100/hr plus 50% of sale gross income
Re: how much to charge for nude photos?
I would make him pay ALOT. Those are pictures of you naked...and they could end up anywhere, know your worth and don't cut anyone a deal. If they want them bad enough they will pay. Same goes with videos, I see girls selling 30 videos of themselves on MFC for like $15 their cut... to me that is insane!!
Re: how much to charge for nude photos?
I agree with LittleBee.
These prices sound WAY cheap to me.
Also, make sure to send low-res files that only open to 6x8" so they cannot be printed well. Be sure to add a watermark & copyright notice to each pic (or digital watermark & copyright notice).

I'm late to this thread and the OP LIKELY already made her decision, but I'd like to offer a different perspective.
Your image is your brand. Rather than delivering 50-100 snapshots, consider providing a few professional high quality photos. Quality not quantity. Nothing says amateur more than dozens of the same shot. Edit judiciously.
Consider telling SD that you need new lingerie for your shoot! (That he should be happy to 'invest' in...) Your 'marketing material' is what sets you apart.
