What's the minimum amount you would accept for a stranger to take your picture?

But what can he possibly do with the photo that is so bad?I never let anyone I don't know take a photo using my phone.
All you have to do is just stand there and let him take one photo of you and he leaves. He pays you in cash up front. What's your price?
What's your point ??? Oh I forgot money.
Couldn't care less about the photo. It's the potential of having the phone stolen. Actually, its all the data: contacts, email, texts, etc I worry about more than the hardware.
Oh, then I should have rephrased my original question. The stranger already has his own camera (a professional one) and wants to take your photo with his camera and then leave. If you don't care about the photo, then I assume you don't care that he takes your photo with his camera (and thus perhaps would accept $20 to let him do it)?Couldn't care less about the photo.

This is a weird thread.
Without any context its useless.
Say buddy with the pro camera is on the street taking pictures, you walk by and you're in the frame then he's free to take your picture, no money ever has to change hands.

We discussed this in the "creepy old man with camera in the park" thread. Anyways, there is no way to avoid being photographed in public with everybody having a cellphone camera. I saw myself on youtube in a protest and anybody who didn't know better would think I was part of the protest.If it's a creepy ole dude then I'd ask what's it worth to ya.
Question for the photographers on the board: Are the flash on the modern professional cameras so powerful that they can shoot "through clothes" and capture an image of what is covered by the cloth?has his own camera (a professional one) and wants to take your photo with his camera
I saw that, you were definitely part of the protest.We discussed this in the "creepy old man with camera in the park" thread.

Really depends on the context. If I bumped into some random person (man or woman) on the street that just wanted to take a pic of me or my family then I'd refuse because that's just weird. If a photographer from a newspaper or other media wanted to take a pic at at a public event like a game, wedding, etc then I'd be fine with it. Not sure if I would be asking for monetary compensation for something like that either.Oh, then I should have rephrased my original question.

For some reason, that is not good enough for him. For example, he needs a high-definition photo zoomed up on your face, looking straight ahead into the camera and smiling. He can only get that if you pose for him, right?This is a weird thread.

But if he offered you enough cash, you will eventually say yes, won't you? Enough money would offset the weirdness, won't it? The old saying: every man has his price?Really depends on the context.

This thread is really weird.
Why do you think he needs a photo of my face, handsome as it is?
Not with the internet. You are selling unlimited use of that image. Maybe it will appear on a booklet for 'prevention of date rape', 'how to spot a pediphile', etcBut if he offered you enough cash, you will eventually say yes, won't you? Enough money would offset the weirdness, won't it? The old saying: every man has his price?
That information is supposed to be unknown in this thread, since he is a perfect stranger. If you ask him, he'll say something like: you have the face that I'm looking for. Yes, the situation is weird, and he sure seems weird. But does enough money offset the weirdness?
Who enters into any contract without knowing the terms?That information is supposed to be unknown in this thread, since he is a perfect stranger.

This thread is still really weird.
Are you just trying to see how much you have to pay random girls to take their photos?
The rates from pooners will not be reflected in random hot girls you accost on the street, you know.
And if he goes on to use that image to sell millions of dollars of stuff (extremely unlikely) then that $500 (or whatever flat fee) wouldn't be a good deal for me would it. I'd obviously want an ongoing royalty for using my image to sell stuff. Here's a better question, has this actually happened to anyone and if so, what did you do? It's never happened to me, so I have no context to based the decision on. I suppose if you were very gullible or desperately poor, then $500 would be a good deal. On the other hand, would $500 make a big difference in your life if you're relatively well off?That information is supposed to be unknown in this thread, since he is a perfect stranger.
