and the answer is?

Sir,
Your concepts are unique and locations are breathtaking. You could potentially charge whatever you want. May I suggest some thoughts on post production? Maybe there is some room for improvement - specially with the digital age?

I will pay you $125/hr

To be marketable - one needs to have variety in the portfolio. How about creating a diverse port on TFCD?

A no nudity clause reduces your rate sinificantly. Maybe about $35/hr

You are so much fun with these. I love the fact that you saw I sold my business. I did actually get an offer for a paying gig today.

David, Your over dependency in post production is ruining your natural instincts of beauty. This is an outstanding picture:

You should - you can easily command $50/hr. Maybe more. I loved this picture. Great expressions.

I haven't done a shoot in a long time, so would it be worth my while getting back to shooting and what could it be worth?

Your pictures are theme based - you try to tell a story with your pictures and not just shoot. I would love to see some improvements to camera angles though. What say?

If you were in Washington DC area - I would pay you $30/hr

John your photography is an upward trend. Your silhouettes are outstanding. Love your avatar. I feel this is a rank bad picture and should be removed from your otherwise beautiful port https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/44532565

I've held back for six years in asking you.
Hopefully with inflation I might be worth a little more by now.
So, biting the bullet, please tell me what you think I am worth.
Thank you.
