How much per hour should I charge as an art photography model?

This would be work with individual photographers. It would be a friends-of-friends type situation, not very formal, no contract probably, and I doubt they'd know what to pay anymore than I'd know what to charge. Does anyone have an idea of an appropriate basic per-hour fee? This will be in Japan, by the way, if that makes a difference that anyone is aware. But a dollar estimate would be helpful too.

I have done some modeling for college, they were paying $12.00 per hour for portrait clothes on and 20.00 per hour for nude. But thats in the states. and it was for drawing classes.

I am not sure if Photographers pay more or not…you figure they are getting more so they probably should pay more.

I did that about 10 years ago. But not for a friend. I didn't know the man, he is a professional painter/sketcher.
Did nude sketches of hundreds of women.
10 years ago I got NZ$20-00 per hour, so now it would be around about NZ$40-00 per hour.
Much easier if you don't know the person hiring you.
