When you get the exciting news about a print (modeling) booking, there are a number of questions you need to ask your agent before accepting the job.

Making sure you are free the date of the shoot is the most important question.  I would also want to know what or who is the ad is for. If you do not want to be associated or support the ad campaign, let your agent know. I know models and actors who will not do ads for meat products, alcohol, furs, gambling or for certain medical issues. Make sure you stick by your convictions, and don’t accept any job that compromises your values or beliefs.

Here is a list of questions I always ask the agent. If you know of others that I missed, please E-mail them to me.

• Date of the shoot
• For what company, type of business or product is the ad being created
• Location of the shoot
• Who is the photographer
• Who gets invoiced for the job
• Will they cover travel
• Will they cover parking
• Will they have a makeup artist
• How long will the shoot last
• How long will the ad run
• What wardrobe do I need to bring
• What is the usage for the ad (newspaper, magazine, etc…)
• Fees – is it an hourly fee or a day rate, or a buyout)
