• Answer:

  you dont pay money to get into Ford Supermodel of the World or Elite Model Look, the two biggest and most famous model searches in the world. You dont pay for photo shoots if you are a model, the agency is supposed to pay. Do you think Kate Moss paid for photo shoots? Of course not, if you are good, your agency pays for your photos. http://www.modelingscams.org/modelingphotographyscams.html "Steer clear of modeling companies that require you to use a specific photographer. Compare fees and the work quality of several photographers." -- Federal Trade Commission "Our prior modeling cases were all about photos; you thought you were being selected as a model, but all they were trying to sell you was photos, these expensive comp cards." -- Robin Spector, Attorney, Federal Trade Commission "The number one problem we see is big money wasted on useless photos that were sold to an 'unsuspecting' model thinking he/she was getting great photos." -- GO International Modeling Agency "The agent should not recommend one photographer, and you do not pay the agency, you deal directly with the photographer." -- Nina Blanchard, The Nina Blanchard Agency http://www.complaintsboard.com/complaints/the-american-mall-model-search-c285152.html
