Not invalid, just not as easily defendable. Most model agreements contain the wording "for good and valuable consideration," which is added protection to make it a binding contract. (As you know, in a contract both sides must give something to take something.) Money is the most common consideration, but it's not the only kind. It can also be such things as free prints in exchange for a free shoot.
Having the pictures appear in a publication may or may not be valuable consideration. That would be up to someone's interpretation. Judges have to decide that sort of thing, whereas money is universal. Everyone knows the intent when you exchange $ for some service.
