I'd suggest the following:  have the model write a letter which captures her understanding of the agreement in all respects that are important to her.  Send (fax, email) it to the photographer and ask him to sign a statement of concurrence at the bottom of the letter.  You can spend a lot of time writing up an involved contract, but it's not generally necessary, and would likely annoy some photographers.

Thanks smile

its a short notice deal where shes going alone. sad shes 18. last week had a bad go around traveling to orlando so i worry about her driving 4 hours for non payment and a whim of being comfy. i worry about all my girls wink

if she wasnt traveling so far by herself ur right, no contract needed but now he wont respond as quickly as he did before when she made CLEAR NO NUDITY. sad

i do, but its like 4 pages long with 2 attachments of 1 page each, and a notary seal

its a work agreement, the attachments are A - deliverables, B- compensation, the main body spells out legal rights (4 pages)

so its probably not what you are looking for ;-)

yeah, ah, my partner is a contracts admin at the pentagon LOL

As I understand it, you are 28 and she is 18.  Got started a little early, did you?  Or is she not your daughter?

Daughter? That would mean.... 10years old? No way.

I'm well over 28 and worry about alot of models 18 and even younger. Noting wrong with that.

gals = girlfriends?

worrying is unhelpful and doesnt make you a better person but doing something to help is what she's doing. cool.

I have used this one - passing on if it helps anyone else!
but the idea of confirming exactly what you expect fully and in writing
is great advice as this can be modified too.
