A Toronto model agency includes these terms for booking any of its talent:
• Models don’t work for free.
• Minimum one hour booking and the time is rounded up to the next full hour. Model gets paid for the full time booked and not necessarily the actual time for the shoot.
• Model gets paid for travel time and preparation time.
• Automatic overtime rates if the job is before 9 am or after 6 pm. Overtime for any job that runs longer than 8 hours.
• Cancellation with less than 24 hours notice is full fee.
• Weather cancellation is 50% fee. Then it’s an additional 100% fee for each subsequent weather cancellation.
• Web use of any photo is an additional fee to be negotiated separately from any print use.
• Commercial rates are higher than editorial rates.
If the talent gets these terms for a photo shoot, then what are the minimum terms a photographer should be requiring from their clients?
