Consideration
Who pays who?
There are three scenarios when it comes to consideration for the experience, effort and time utilization in a modeling photo shoot.
Paying models
When we need a specific model for a specific projector job, we offer the model monetary consideration based primarily on experience, level of difficulty and time needed for the photo shoot or project. This option is only available to models who have already worked with Pix Plaza or have a track record of modeling jobs that can be evaluated by Pix Plaza.
Monetary consideration
In this type of arrangement where models are paid in return for their service. This is our preferred arrangement where the images are taken for the purpose or project at hand with no obligation to deliver a copy of the images taken to the model for their own use.
Expectations
The expectation is that the model would arrive on time, ready for the photo shoot or modeling engagement, including understanding the tasks and following instruction, on preparation–such as hairdo, makeup application, nails, outfits etc., and during the session.
Paying for Studio Services
When models book our modeling services (training, portfolio, comp card, listing, agency contact etc..) for their own interest, a payment is due to the studio for such services. Much like any other service we provide, you can book your session online on the services pages on our website, or call us by phone for information and booking.
Free Modeling Engagement
Free or TFP modeling
TFP stands for Time-for-print where the the model receives photo prints in return for their time. Nowadays, it is commonly providing digital copies of images, rather than prints, in return for the model’s service. Oftentimes models, especially new models who are not signed or don’t have much of experience, prefer TF or free arrangement, where they are not under any contractual agreement, in return for the experience, exposure and ability to share images on social media.
Other considerations
In this arrangement, model receive tangible or intangible benefit from Pix Plaza or a third party in return for their service. Offers vary by time and location and oftentimes models find them more valuable to them than direct monetary compensations. This must be agreed upon prior to providing the service.
