Modelling agencies

Fashion and photographic model agencies can charge you a fee for finding you work. They can take a commission (percentage fee) from your earnings.

They can also charge a fee to publish your details online or in a publication. They cannot charge this fee to you upfront but they can take it from your earnings if they find you work.

They must tell you in writing if a fee is involved.

Contact the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (Acas) for advice if you believe you’ve been charged unfairly.
