hi i believe that is a legit modelling agency , i have seen many fake ones plus this one states they do it by appointments only plus the website is copyright to the agency it is not on a hosted site.

I've never heard of it but the pictures are good.

it does to me, considering they dont have open calls, and you dont have to pay. you have to make an appointment... im pretty sure its legit.

yeah, but try to google it and find out if its really the real deal.

The "scam" in modeling agencies is that there are very few jobs for all the people who want to be models. If you actually work as a model, the agency makes their money by taking a cut of your pay. You do NOT pay them.

If the agency asks you to pay for headshots or promises to find you work but only after you take and pay for numerous classes, move on.

If, on the other hand, the class is cheap and sounds like fun and you don't care that it won't lead to a career, feel free to enjoy yourself.

i think that it looks legit
you shoud try it good luck
and if it doesnt work out try to sign up for
well knone modeling agencys in your area

I think so.
It looks good.
If a place is dodgy, the website usually isn't very good.
That is a good website.

It looks legit to me. There is a lot of "Flash" on there website and multiple pages and links. I don't know if they would spend all that money for that if they were fake. I would go to some of the links that they have listed and see if there is any information of links back to their pages. Google their name and see if there are any articles written about them. Call their number and visit their office... unannounced. This way you know that it isn't during their convenience. Good Luck

call or do some more research before you apply.

Yes the site seems very legit. If you arent sure about it, you can give them a call. They have a telephone number and even a mail address. Very legit, I should say.

If they want money up front...run away.
REAL models don't pay to model.
They get paid to model.
It's that simple.

Make sure that they are not a front for white slavery.

This site talks about Europe but I have heard the same about modeling agencies in the USA.

I say check it out. There is some scams out there and in Cali its bad with modeling agencies. Just don't give them ANY money until you actually find out. Call other agencies and see if they have heard of them. Maybe the Fontane agency or something like that.

Check it out on whois search.
