What is a Model Contract?


A Model Contract PDF is a written agreement between a model and a client or photographer. It outlines the type of work, shoot location, usage rights, payment terms, and how the images will be used. This protects both sides by making everything clear from the start.

Why use a Model Contract?


Photo shoots often move quickly, and verbal agreements can lead to confusion or misuse of images. This contract helps set expectations upfront. You can create a fillable PDF form, get it signed online, and store everything in one place for future reference.
