Q. But I thought
a model agency would pay for my photographs?
A. Many like to tell people that they are models
but are actually only ‘playing at
it’ wasting their time, the agencys
and the clients. Which is why you will find
that very few agencies will fund your career,
as in the past many agencies have had their
fingers burnt; having invested their time
and money in a potential model only for
them then to decide they no longer wish
to do it.
You may be lucky enough to find an agency
that will fund your career initially and
then deduct it from your earnings, in which
case you will be tied under a contract until
you have repaid them. Remember this could
mean that you will be working on a number
of assignments and not actually receiving
any money because you are paying back the
agency.
