Primodels Review- searches a good place to start
a modeling

• Are modeling conventions and searches a good
  place to start a modeling career or are they a
  total rip-off?I do not know. I have never
  personally been to one of these events (nor are
  any of them asking me to come and check them out)
  and I have not seen any 60 Minutes type
  investigation on them. I have looked over their
  web sites and I have seen endless chat rooms
  where they are called the biggest rip-offs out
  there. I do not know of any top models (all
  though I do know of one TV actress discovered at
  IMTA) that have come from conventions and
  searches and you would think with how many are
  put on that all models would come from them. I do
  know for what some of these organizations charge,
  you could fly to New York, stay for week and do
  open calls at every top agency. Personally, I
  think they are not a very good investment and
  there are better ways to get discovered, but that
  is strictly my opinion.

Why is everyone giving different advice on
modeling?

• Remember the story of the three blind men
  describing an elephant. One man felt the trunk,
  another the tail and the third the leg. Each had
  a different description of what the elephant was
  like. The modeling industry is the same way. The
  modeling industry is big with many specialties.
  What I have experienced is quite different from
  what fashion photographer Richard Avidon
  experienced. And what he has experienced is quite
  different from what glamour photographer Jeff
  Dumes has. And what we all have experienced is
  quite different from what the modeling agencies
  are going to tell you.

• Another part that leads to different views on the
  industry is that we are all small business people
  - each one running their own business in their
  own way, and hopefully better than the
  competition. This leads to a lot of different
  ideas of how things work and how things should be
  done. It can also lead to confusion and present
  opportunities for con-artists. There is a set way
  to become a doctor, there is, however, no set way
  to become a model. This leaves the door open for
  the "expert" to "guarantee" to make you a top
  model for only a small, non-refundable fee. Watch
  out and try to educate yourself on the many parts
  of the modeling industry.

Primodels Review-The Agency

• You hear that all the top models have great
  agencies, and you think, "If I can only sign with
  a modeling agency I will be set." But what
  exactly is a modeling agency and what does it do?
  This is not an easy question to answer. Modeling
  agencies operate as small independent business
  with no two agencies working the same. A lot
  depends on the market in which an agency operates
  and the owner(s) and agency's personnel. The
  other problem with describing a modeling agency
  is that there are a lot of rip-off and scam
  agencies out there. Because most wannabe models
  know little about how the modeling business
  works, they are easy prey for these vultures. We
  can look at what an agency might be at its best
  and worst and what they can do for your career as
  a model.

Primodels Review-The Agency

• A modeling agency's number one purpose is to find
  the model work. They work as the model's
  representative or agent. As an agent they seek
  and negotiate contracts of employment for the
  model or talent who is an independent business.
  For finding the model work, they take a percent
  of what the model makes (10 to 33). In some
  states they are considered private employment
  agencies and must be licensed by the state. That
  sounds fairly simple and straightforward, but it
  is amazing how it can vary.
