Is it an agency? Their terms say so:
Replay Model Management will operate as an employment agency in relation to the Work-seeker.
However they then go on to say:
The relationship between the Work-Seeker and Replay Model Management shall not be one of
employment. Replay Model Management shall be under no obligation to find employment for the Work-Seeker.
So is that an EMPLOYMENT AGENCY that doesn't get work?

I've done a photo shoot but don't want anyone to see the photos?
Sometimes we are asked by models who have done a photo shoot but don't want anyone to see the photos.
Once you have done any photo shoot the photographer owns the copyright to the images and can use them as they wish. If you do not want photos to be seen then the safest option is not to pose for them in the first place.
If you have been paid for a shoot and the images published then the chances of getting them removed are virtually nil. However most models want as many people to see their photos as possible so this is not an issue.

Copyright and Licence for use
After the post yesterday about the misleading advice from Edge models I thought it would be of benefit to highlight the difference between copyright and licence to use photos.
No professional photographers routinely hand over copyright to their clients. In the main they grant a limited licence to use the photos for the agreed use; they do not give you the copyright. If a different use is required then often a different fee will be paid. For example the fee for use of a photo for a small magazine advert would be different to the fee for a worldwide billboard campaign.

Misleading advice about TFP/TFCD Shoots from Edge Models
I've recently seen this advice about Time for Prints (TFP) and Time for CD (TFCD) shoots by Edge models
http://www.edgemodels.co.uk/advice9.php
This is totally misleading and incorrect. Paying for a portfolio rather than developing it via TFP/TFCD makes absolutely no difference to whether you own the copyright or not. For example although you pay for your wedding photos in most cases you do not own copyright and have to contact the photographer to purchase additional prints. In some cases when the photographer sells you a CD of photos they grant you a licence to use them; they do not give you the copyright.
As long as the model has the rights to use an image for their portfolio it should make no difference at all how they actually produced that photo. Models do not need to own the copyright of a photo to use it for their portfolio. Suggesting that models will lose out money by doing a TFP shoot is also very misleading. It is extremely unlikely that any model would be able to make money by selling their photos even if they did own the copyright.
It makes you wonder why Edge Models suggest such advice as being true - perhaps to encourage models to "invest" by paying for the copyright of a portfolio with them?

Can model agencies take deposits?
Another common question is whether model agencies take deposits?
The answer is no. Model agencies do not need to take deposits as they have no reason to. Model agencies book models for shoots and sign a very small number of models each year. If you don't turn up to an appointment with a modelling agency that is your loss not theirs - so they don't need you to pay.
Generally the company that are asking you to pay a deposit are not a modelling agency at all but a photo studio and they want you to pay a deposit to make sure that you show up for your shoot plus the hard sell they give you afterwards. Make sure that you check - 99 times of 100 you will find that the free photo shoot and modelling portfolio is not for an agency and is not free once you have paid for photos or copyright.
Don't be taken for a fool - make sure that you check first!
