Agency models negotiate by way of their agency and standard business practices are common. The model pays the photographer for a photo shoot.

Freelance models negotiate their own payments and contracts, whereas signed models have their modelling agencies to do that for them. Freelance models will take 100% of their payment home with them, while signed models will have a cut of their earnings taken by their agency.

Photographs are protected by copyright at the moment of creation, and the owner of the work is generally the photographer (unless an employer can claim ownership).

Basically, copyright law says that when you take a photograph, you become the copyright owner of the image created. This means you hold exclusive rights to: Reproduce the photograph. Display the image in a public space.

Photographers rarely pay models, and models rarely pay photographers. Typically, the model and photographer pair up to create images for their portfolios, and basically work as a team with the pay being the equal use of the images for their own self promotional use.

When it comes to the question of model releases, the simplest answer is this: no matter where a photograph is made, or who the subject might be, the photographer should have the subject sign a release when the use of the image will be commercial. News photographs, for instance, do not require the subject's permission

A model release is needed for publication where personality rights or privacy rights would otherwise be infringed. No release is required for publication, as news, of a photo taken of an identifiable person when the person is in a public place.

I think it's fair to say that most photographers will, at some point in their career, have to work with models at least oncewhether you're a still life shooter that photographs models' hands holding a fork full of food a couple of times a year or an e-commerce shooter that works with models every single day.
