He mentioned that people could make around R4,000 to R6,000 a day, depending on the client you’ve booked. Omogbohalan explained that a model can get booked by various clients a day, and they all pay a daily rate of a couple of thousands:
“Sometimes you can get booked for three shoots a day. So it’s R4K, R6K and can go up to R15,000 for a day rate.”
The chap has earned about R150K on one shoot, which made a lot of people consider modelling. He also explained that TV commercials pay more money, and people get paid better R60, 000 - R200, 000.
As an international model, Omogbohalan explained that just like any other job, models also experience major deductions from their agencies:
“Let’s say you do a shoot for Mr Price internationally. The sandwich brand size as Mr Price there would pay you R150,000, but here, Mr Price would pay you R16,000 and then your agency still has to take their deductions and pay taxes.”
Omogbohalan shared that a model’s fortune is measured by how much they work.
