From Holly, IL
If an agency wants to work with you, should you be suspicious if they tell you that you have to pay for your own comp cards?
Dear Holly:
No, not at all. Actually, the opposite is true. It would be highly unlikely that an agency would be willing to pay for a models comp card. In the fashion industry, sometimes, the agency will front the money for photos and comp cards, but they will be reimbursed from the jobs the model gets. In the commercial industry, it would be highly unusual for an agency to offer to pay for the cards. It is the models responsibility to create and pay for composite sheets.
