Do I need Photographs? Yes, all aspiring models and talent need to have photographs. Who pays for the photographs? The models must pay for all their own expenses because they are independent contractors. The modeling profession will be your own profession. Who Pays for Composite Cards/Headsheet Booklets? Models must pay for their own printing and supply their agent with photographs for either composites and/or Headsheet Booklets. Models are independent contractors; therefore, it is your own business. You must keep track of all your expenses and income because pursuing modeling is your own business. You are not considered an employee when modeling for a modeling agency.
