Understanding Modeling Contracts Is Essential

 In the modeling field, several types of contracts are common:

• Exclusive Contracts. The agency you sign with is your exclusive manager and booking agency, so you cannot sign with another agency during the contract term.
• Non-Exclusive Contracts. You have the freedom to sign with multiple agencies without paying commissions to the others on jobs they did not book for you.
• One-time Contract. You contract only applies for one job.
• Mother Agency Contract. The agency you sign with continues to get a commission on your work, even after you have begun working with another agency.

All of these contracts have their place. Signing an exclusive contract with an agency can be good for a young model, as the agency will invest the money to train you to become in-demand an help you attract work. They will advance the monies against your future earnings to help you develop a quality portfolio, and pay for comp cards, test shoots, and more. However, it’s important that the agency is reputable and is pulling in enough work to keep you busy.

Protect Yourself With A Good International Modeling Lawyer, Sebastian Gibson

Before you sign any contract, you should have an experienced modeling lawyer carefully evaluate it and advise whether you should sign it at all, or indicate what changes need to be included in your favor before you do sign it. Signing the wrong contract can tie up your future, your future earnings and limit your rights to file suit or enter into arbitration and mediation.

In the industry, models are frequently asked to sign release forms to allow the photographer to use your images. Having your lawyer look over such forms can protect you from having your images misused in unsavory ways that will not help your career.
