Sometimes when we pay to fly a model from their home city to our Shoot Producer’s city and accomodate them there, the model sees this as an opportunity to make shoots with other Shoot Producers or companies in the same city or country.
We hope you understand that that’s pretty rude, and it’s certainly not appropriate!
If you’re planning a “Shoot tour” – and we certainly don’t have a problem with that – we can contribute to your travel and accommodation expenses, but it’s not fair for us to pay them in full.
We’re in contact with many producers in the cities our Shoot Producers work in, so please don’t make an awkward situation assuming we just won’t find out!
You’d book your own travel and accomodation, then we might reimburse you a third, or half, for example. Your other Shoot Producers / sponsoring companies should pay their share as well. For an isolated case, we might pay the lot, then deduct a portion we agree on from the fees you earn from working with us.
Let us know the details of your plans, and we’ll work something out that’s fair for all of us. π€
