just a question, when you are with an agency does this mean that you cannot
accept any work they dont find for you, and can u strictly belong to one agency
at a time only, i saw famous models such as kate moss is with up to three
modeling agencies around the world.
It depends on the agency and the contract you sign with them. It is possible
that an agency can sign you exclusively to them and prohibit you from accepting
outside work or work not cleared by them. Read any contract offered and
understand it even if that means getting it reviewed by a lawyer. Discuss your
concerns with the agency and make your decision from there. Do not let an agency
pressure you. Do not let anyone tell you that you must sign a contract then and
there. You should be able to take the paperwork home to think about.
Now, there are also laws specific to areas that agencies have to deal with. Some
agencies may not be able to control what you do outside of the country or
sometimes even outside of a local jurisdiction that they are in. Some agencies
have scopes that reach internationally. Now, before you figure agency rules and
restrictions are unfair, consider how much money and time a good agency will be
investing in you. They have a right to make a return on that investment. There
are non-exclusive agencies that may tell you you cannot accept certain types of
jobs. The biggest example is nudes. There are clients who do not wish to have
someone as their spokesmodel who does nudes. So an agency may ask you to
restrict that if that is not one of the things they intend to promote you
for.
By and large reputable agencies treat their models fairly. They have to or lose
the basis of their stock and trade. So, don't worry too much. Just use the
intelligence God gave you in making decisions.
Have faith that the universe will unfold as it should
