Editorial and art
Erotic model for hire, for editorial and art commissions
Fine-art nude, editorial erotica and boudoir commissions live in the gap between commercial casting and adult film. The brief is more delicate, the boundaries matter more, and the usage is usually narrower. All three should be written down.
A different brief, not a vaguer one
Editorial and fine-art work attracts vague briefs because the result is meant to be interpretive. That is a mistake about which part is meant to be open. The concept can be open. The register cannot: implied, art nude and explicit are three different jobs, and a model who agreed to one and arrives at another will decline, correctly, and you will have lost the day.
Name the register in the brief, describe what is in frame, and say what will happen to the images. The casting brief builder produces exactly that structure and prints the rate band the register and the usage imply.
Usage is usually narrow, and should be priced that way
Most editorial and art commissions need far less usage than a commercial buyout: a gallery run, a print edition, a magazine spread and the photographer's own portfolio. Narrow usage should cost less, and it does under the multipliers, but only if you actually specify it. Briefs that leave usage undefined default in practice to whatever the buyer later wants, which is the worst outcome for the model and a licensing problem for the buyer.
Set the licence to editorial and own website in the builder and you will see the difference against a full commercial buyout, printed as a multiplier rather than asserted.
Consent on a closed set
Art nude and implied work is usually shot with a small crew, which makes the closed-set agreement more important rather than less. Agree in writing who is present, that boundaries can be narrowed on the day and never widened, that a chaperone is welcome, and that the model can stop at any point and is still paid for the day. None of this is unusual on a professional set. Writing it down is what makes it reliable.
