Well this is a hard thing to come up with. I am a professional wedding and portrait photographer, and when I use new talent to help out as an assistant, I start them out at about $10.00 hr in US funds, and I pay according to the way they work. Stay away from a monthly payment, work per assignment. Most of my assignments last about 9 to 12 hours so a good point of reference is $10 per hour. When you are shooting for a while and have proven your skill, ask for a percentage of the total sales from the images you created. Best of luck, Ken
