Fair and Transparent

We never charge joining, registration or photoshoot fees. Our commission stays within legal limits, and models are paid within 7 days of us receiving payment. Contracts are in plain English and we encourage independent legal advice.

Safe Sets

Clients and photographers are vetted and every job has a written brief. You can say no, take a break or leave ant job that feels unsafe, with no penalty.

Culture Protected

We follow Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property principles: consult, consent, credit and fair payment. No sacred or restricted material, no copying of Indigenous art, and no AI copies of your image without your written consent.

Privacy

Your details and identity information are treated as sensitive and never shared with clients without your consent. You can ask us to remove your images at any time.
