Hi

When my daughter was six months old. I sent her photo to a few agencies. Norrie Carr wanted her and took pictures for free there was no joining fee. Although if you want to renew after a year you have to pay ?70 for new photos. We got plenty of work but here's where the good experiences ended. I found the agency rude if I couldn't make an audition, they expected me to turn up the day after a phone call and change any other plans. When I didn't want her in a particular advert for SMA they thought I was being ridiculous. The model almost dropped my baby in a cover shoot. There's lots of waiting around at shoots very boring. She got paid up to six months after the job. The only good thing is the pay which we put in her child trust fund. But I couldn't take longer than 6 months as I was pregnant and it would be almost impossible to do with 2 children to look after. To top it off they still kept calling me months after I'd told them I couldn't do it anymore.

Hi, no experience of my own child being used but as a photographers agent have booked children for ad campaigns. Personally it's not for me and I think you have to consider your childs personality before putting them forward. As Olga found it's good money but ruthless, boring and to be honest not everyone cares that much about whether your child is having a great day as it's all about getting the shot.


Yes you may have to contribute towards getting up to date head shots as your child changes but you shouldn't have to pay a joining fee.


If you really want to pursue this avenue here's a few of the childrens model agencies we've used....

    • it would seem very likely that they are trying it on if it their area - ie not a responsibility of the freehold. The freehold would cover the building structure (walls, foundation, roof) - possibly freeholder would have responsibility for the front door - if so, does the freeholder have the windows? Usually grey area in a lease so you could look at past instances - who has paid for window replacement, front door to be painted etc?  
    • Thanks for these comments. Very helpful. The porch and hallway shows on their lease plan but we share the freehold together. 
    • Ok.  You have bigger problems than this s20 notice.  How have you let one freeholder dominate things.  You both have the equal right to decide how to manage the communal areas of the property.  I would get some legal advice on your duties and rights as a freeholder and then request a meeting  to reset the relationship. Also as noted in other posts is the front yard and door actually the responsibility of the freeholder.  These are all questions you should ask in your S20 response.
    • seems perfectly sensible to restrict cert 18 but would have thought cert 15 are acceptable. we don't know what the complaint was or if the measures taken by the cinema address it or go too far. if there was a scenario when an infant was in a regular screening, then I would completely understand the complaint. if the complaint was from someone who attended a parent screening, then - well, I guess it depends what was on! if the complaint was from someone who has not involvement or experience then the cinema surely wouldn't have taken measures based  on it
