Reasons New Models Should Pose Without Getting Paid
|
There are reasons why an aspiring male model may want to pose without payment. Models can get benefits from posing for photos that do not include money. A model may wish to obtain photos for his modeling portfolio or want to network within the modeling industry.
Goal: Build Business Relationships With Photographers
New models want to develop good relationships with good photographers. (However, this idea only works with photographers who actually know professionals in the modeling industry, not a photographer in a small city who has no clients and just photographs boys in his basement.) You help the photographer and he might later help you by sending a modeling job your way.
Photographer Uses Your Photo in His Portfolio
It is common for models to give permission to the photographer to use the photographs in his modeling portfolio or on his portfolio website to promote his photography. Models do not receive compensation for this. If the photographer ever wants to sell or publish the photos, the photographer should contact the model to arrange compensation - so the model can receive a share of the revenue the photographer is paid. So, a new model needs to assure that the model release he signs discusses where his photos can be published.
Buyers of modeling talent may also see the photographer's portfolio and want to hire a male model they saw in a photo.
