I was just wondering is it acceptable to do magazine shoot for "credit" only? I was told I was crazy to do it for "free" by a photographer I shoot with regularly, he said every magazine shoot should be paid, and they should provide makeup, hair,etc.
Well, I got 3 magazine (guaranteed published) offers, but in trade for "credit" only, and I do my own hair/makeup/travel/etc.
But since I'm trying to build credits under my name, I'm wanting to do ahead and do it...or would this be completely stupid on my part?
Does anyone have advice or been through this? This is the first time I've had this come up, so I am clueless. Any thoughts or knowledge on this would be greatly appreciated
Thanks!!!

it was bananas...lol Usually if a magazine or agency is local or not a well recognized one doing your own hair and makeup may be required! Especially if your just starting out. Sometimes as a model you must be prepared for all possible senarios good and bad. Learning how to do your own hair, makeup, and stlying will definitely help to better prepare you for future bookings and go-see's!!
