Frequently Asked Questions and Articles
By Joe Edelman - The Business of Modeling
Do I ever have to pay money up front for a
modeling or talent agency to represent me?
A legitimate agency makes its money by working for you.
That's right - when you sign your agency agreement - the fine print says that YOU are hiring them to get you work. You agree to pay them a percentage of what you earn.
Agencies who ask you upfront to pay money for classes, photographs, comp cards, etc - are NOT agencies that you want to have representing you.
You want to be with agencies who are interested by making money by getting you work - not by taking it from your pocket.
