My photographer friend and I just got offered an ad deal for a new product. He would take the pics and I would model, and the images would be used in magazines, promotional stuff and even go to the USA. Neither of us have a clue about what to expect as it is a first paid gig for both of us. I know it depends on the product, but how much should we expect to be paid? And how should we be paid? How does it generally work? Thanks!

  1. When you were offered this ad deal, you should have asked about pay, not just agreed to it and expect a good pay...

    They will probably say, you didn't ask to be paid, or rip you off by low pay and giving you some free products.. Always discuss pay prior to agreements.


  2. Most of the time, people from the ad agency contact casting agency to get talents for a campaign. In your case. Your value depends on your experience and effectivity of your campaign. I suggest to either get an agent to prepare all details for you including requirements and proper presentation to clients.

  3. This may sound stupid also but did you two think to ask?

    They have a budget and know what they will pay. If it's too low then tell them. They prob came to you because they know you are two unknowns and can get you cheap. Agency's pay diddle for stuff and have high mark-ups.

    I would agree with the other poster on getting n agent but they too will demand something for this.

    Here in the US the actors have a union that determines much of how standard fees are set. If you have that where you are you can contact them and see if they have some suggestions for you. You could also contact the local playhouse and see if anyone there has done this before.

    I wouldn't expect to make a ton here but I wouldn't do it for next to nothing either. Regardless of how many times you try and sell yourself on the idea that this may be my big chance.
