Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knows much about models direct and the type of work they supply for their clients and if model direct is a scam as you are asked to pay a small contribution toward the online publication which is less than £44 per year. Their  'Offer of Representation' will be for three years as this is the optimum time for you to become established with them.The publication fee for the term is £132. But is it normal to pay an fee before getting jobs as they have called us three times asking if we payed the fee.If not,does anyone know any good reputable agencies for acting and modelling for teens ?

Thanks.

Hi
I don't know about modelling for for acting you should not be paying anything upfront except spotlight fees which are around £90 a year. If the agency does not use spotlight i would avoid it! Most work comes through spotlight for acting.

My son has a portfolio shoot for a modelling agency next week and he isn't paying a penny. He is going with a top agency and although he is in his early 20's, I think it operates on a similar basis to an acting agency.

Thanks Lynne and Caroline A-C

Definitely one to avoid.

Don't pay up front fees to an agent and don't pay for portfolios.

Do not do it ..am sure there was some media interest in them few years back.
