what do i get paid for bookings?
1. ) Merch Shoots:
As a LOM represented model, we have a standard rate of $150 per model, per shoot. This includes the model, photographer, 3-5 edited images, and modeling of up to 2 items. We feel this rate is pretty fair considering it will only take you about an hour or two maximum to be able to produce the minimum required edits for the one to two merchandise items requested. If they request more items be modeled, this is where it will cost all parties more time.. This is when we up or some times double the rate of pay. Please remember that most bands are not made of money. We try to make our rates as competible as possible with all other agencies and take in to consideration as well that our main goal is to get the word out of both signed or unsigned bands. If you would like to personally change any of the details concerning your rate, please contact me and I will change it, no problem! We understand some models have greater experience and should be paid more.
2.) All Other Bookings:
All other booking rates concerning events, shows, or other types of shoots will be determined at the time of booking. No two jobs are the same, and majority of the time companies come to us with a budget their looking to stay within. If we are approached by a company looking to book you, we will gather all information about the booking, and pay rate.. and email the information your way to discuss your possible interest and availability for the project.
All bookings are handled through [email protected]. If the band/company/clothing line contacts you personally, please feel free to handle the matter yourself. However, if you wish to have me handle all details for your bookings, forward their email to [email protected]

can i shoot with my own photographers?
You are absolutely able to work with your own photographers - Most LOM do! Please verify with them first that it is okay that we use your photos for promotion purposes to get you bookings. Photographer’s watermarks on photos are always allowed. If you do not have a photographer, we can help supply you with one.

do i have to have a facebook fan page?
A Facebook fan page is not required. However, in all photos we post of you on our Facebook, you will be tagged in them. Each time you are tagged you have the opportunity to gain some times several hundreds of new followers depending on how viral your photo goes, and the reach is gets. We highly suggest all models make one otherwise we have nothing to tag you to. Fan pages have also been an amazing way to let the ladies connect with their fans, and further improve their fan base.
how can i interview a band?
If you're interested in having an interview with a band, let us know! Between Ash and myself we've made several connections. It may be something we can help you out with. All interviews will be featured on our website and social sites with you tagged as the interviewer. Interviews may be written or recorded through video or Skype.
