Marketing and Representation for all Talent
Brooke Lee Modelling Agency always maintains the most professional
reputation possible. To be represented by Brooke Lee Modelling Agency
and marketed to our clients, professional un-watermarked photos are
mandatory as well as a signed BLM Model & Image Release form for each
photographer involved in your portfolio. A selection of images will be
placed on the BLM website as well as sent to clients on request. To
provide you with maximum exposure, your images will be displayed on our
BLM website under your own personal profile. By signing this document
gives Brooke Lee Modelling the authority to use the images provide on
our business website and our business social media pages – Instagram,
Facebook & TikTok. Once we've received your signed contract and payment,
we'll email you the BLM website profile requirements. You can request
updates to your profile at any time, and we kindly ask that you keep it
current to ensure proper client exposure. Please note: Brooke Lee
Modelling & Deportment School is separate from Brooke Lee Modelling
Agency.
Agency Fee
To join our Brooke Lee Modelling Agency and showcase your portfolio on
our website and social media, there is a one-time fee of $50.00. This
includes profile creation, comp card development, and profile
maintenance. Please note, fees will increase in 2025. Once we receive
your signed Talent Agreement, we will issue and email an invoice to the
address provided in your agreement.
Accepting Work
Whether a job is one day in advance, or you book a job one month in
advance, it is your responsibility to keep track of your confirmed
job/s. This includes paid and un-paid work. Always make sure you confirm
all the details with the booking agent (Brooke Lee), including date,
time, (am/pm), venue, job name, job description and rate of pay. Keeping
a diary is a good idea and will also assist with keeping track of income
and due dates. The Talent must be always punctual when undertaking work
organised by the Agent and must abide by set times and requirements for
each individual assignment. If you are late, if you need directions, or
if you have personal issues it is your responsibility to contact your
Agent (Brooke Lee) on 0406 974 439. Please do not contact the client,
only if requested (Check the brief). We understand you may not always be
available and that is ok, please do not accept work if you already know
you cannot make it.
Cancellations of Work
Carefully consider your ability to fulfil the requirements of a shift
before committing to it. If the Talent is unable to continue with the
booking for any reason other than ill health, the Talent must give the
Agent 72 hours' notice of cancellation to allow the Agent to communicate
with the client. Feeling ‘SICK’ is no longer an acceptable reason if
disclosed within 24 hours of the shift/job start. If you cancel inside
24 hours, supporting documentation will be required, i.e. - a police
report for accidents, or a hospitalization/doctor's certificate for
serious illness. Reliability is a large factor in this industry. If you
do not show up to an assignment/job you were booked for you will be held
responsible for any loss of revenue. You will also be taken off the
books for any future work whether it is paid or not. If you elect to
send a text message to cancel on a shift, expect a phone call back from
one of us from the Brooke Lee Modelling Agency. A text message is not
acceptable for any type of cancellations. If you turn your phone off and
ignore calls from us, expect your shift to be terminated and any further
work that may already be booked in for you. Calls are accepted over the
weekend and after hours.
Photoshoots
By signing this contract, you have provided permission to us to use your
images, yes, but the images are property to the Photographer, and we
require permission before we display them on our Social Media Pages or
our Brooke Lee Modelling Website. Whether you pay for the shoot or it is
a TFP Shoot you must notify Brooke Lee (Your Agent) about what shoot
you’re doing, when you’re doing the shoot and who you are working with.
Your Agent always needs to be kept in the loop with what is happening.
It is the Talent’s responsibility to send through the link to our Agency
Model & Release Form for the Photographer to complete prior to all
shoots. Please complete the Model & Image Release Form before the shoot
commences as the completed form will automatically be sent through to
our Agent (Brooke Lee). By informing us about your shoot we will all be
on the same page and we will know exactly what the Model will receive in
return from the photographer i.e.: number of images, watermarked or
un-watermarked images, high-res, or low-res images etc. Please follow
this process for all Photoshoots, even if it is a TFP Shoot, Paid Shoot
or a Shoot with your friend that might be a photographer. Please be
honest and open with your Agent. This also includes all Press and
publicity relating to the Talent under this agreement must be authorised
by us as your Agent prior to publication. Magazine Print will follow the
same rules, please inform us of any publications you wish to submit your
name and images into and please make sure - "Agent: Brooke Lee
Modelling" is always used.
Termination & Length of Contract
Your agreement with Brooke Lee Modelling Agency is confirmed once we
receive your signed Talent Agreement. This agreement has no fixed term.
If you wish to terminate the agreement, you must provide 14 days'
written notice. The Agency will continue to represent you under the
agreement until the end of this period, after which your Talent Website
Profile will be removed. If the Agency chooses to terminate the
agreement, we will provide 7 days' written notice and continue
representing you until the end of that period. In cases of breach of

relevant information, please get their details, and then please come and
talk to us about what they are offering, alternatively you can send
through our Agency Details: admin@brookelee.com.au & 0406974439 for them

to see what they are after and will handle the offer and deal with it
for you. This way you don't sign up with anything that is not real.
Anyone under the age of 18 years must always have a parent/guardian in
the conversation when communicating online especially. Never say YES to
anything until we have checked it out. You will be represented by Brooke
Lee Modelling Agency and we will be your manager for the future, not
holding you back from applying for work but will look after anything you
may be offered over time. Anything offered to you must be pre-approved
by Brooke Lee whether it is paid or TFP work. This includes email and
Social Media offers, photo competitions, free photo shoots and more.

will follow correct industry procedure.
