For Hire

[ll_cool_rob]

One of the kids I ran into at Gallery Hop is asking to hire me for a few hours. He dances at BalletMet and would like some "dancer pics" of him at a park. I'm all for it. I'd even do it for free even though he offered to pay me. I just don't know how much (if anything) to charge. A kid (he's 16 or 17, half my age) paying $25/hour is a good chunk of change but that seems like too little for a professional rate and I don't want to set that expectation with others. I'm thinking of simply doing it for free to pad my portfolio.

I ask you, LJ folk, what do you think? How much do I charge?

Note to self: remember a model release...
