I am the Agent and he is not a commercial photographer. How can I get that put in my Contract with the Model?

Your contract with the model does not affect the photographer, nor does it give you any right to the images he creates. When a photographer snaps the shutter, the image created is his intellectual property, that he may license to you  or the model if he receives compensation. The terms of that license are negotiable, however most pros will not give up their copyright unless you bring a rather large check. You don't need copyright ... just rights to use the image.

You pay for "use" of the images. Buy only what you need, no more. If you need rights to the images to use promoting the models and your agency, figure out how you intend to use the images and negotiate to purchase only that limited use.

In TFP/CD situations, the photographer will usually provide only the images he approves for public viewing (after all, his image is at stake) ... and will give only an amount of images equal to fair exchange for the model's time. If a photographer's shooting rate is $150 hr ... and he spends three hours shooting ... and his license fee for promotional use is normally $30 per image, then don't expect dozens of images in exchange for three hours of model's time which might be valued anywhere from $20-100 hr. If your models are top-notch experienced pros ... rates could be higher, of course.

It's all negotiable ... but you need to instruct your models to contract with the photographer ... or you'll need to do it for them. You'll find that many photographers have different business models they follow, so each contract may vary greatly and any "boilerplate" contract you attempt to send out with the model may work against you if you're not flexible.

Cheers,
Jimmy

Never ceases to amaze me how these "agents" go to an internet website to figure out how the industry works.  Ick.

BTW, it was a "he", not a "she".

That was quick.  And how many Aubreys out there are boys?

He can still read it if he wants to. My guess is that right about now he's either moving to OMP or he's embroiled in a Contact-A-Mod arguement.

No serious...read it again. His "friend" that is giving him business advice on being a Modeling Agent runs a PC Repair Store?  A freakin' computer technician giving advice on being an agent?

Seriously, this thread was a joke from the start.  Someone was doing some chain pullin'

I did read it.  And I ignored it because this isn't the Pit and my response could have gotten me banned.

Well, since you are here in TX and looks like you're trying to be a model "manager" or "agent" I do hope you have a license for it first.  You will need one in order to do this legally in the state of TX.
