Hi /fa/, this is my 2nd time on this board ever probably and I would quite happily never have gone on here again for the rest of my life, except I went to a few modeling gigs on Craigslist because need money and then somehow I got picked up by an agent.
Except she might be scamming me? She wants me to get photographed for $350 and she's not paying for it. I don't know her last name, her business's name, any of her clients, or any of the other models with her, and she won't tell me.
I'm borrowing money from my parents in order to get photographed; I spent all the money from the other gigs on magic cards already.
Am I right to be sketched out or is this just the way the world of $3k handbags works?

Also modeling general I guess.

anything where you have to pay is a scam

Huge red flags there, OP.

Fun as fuck but super inconsistent. There are maybe 2-3 real gigs a week and most of them just ghost you. The pay is also garbage (sometimes just """""exposure""""") and a lot of the people you will have to work with are insane.

>>13429981
>>13429998
Yeah I figured but I don't know how things work in this world, and I figured I might as well still go get a headshot because she said I'll get a copy and the photographer is legit, but then drop as soon as she asks for anything else involving money.

what area are you in where there are 2 to 3 a day?
I'm searching the local craigslists and mostly just want female models. I know I'm attractive enough for a fucking craigslist gig, as I've been street cast a couple times, just don't see any offering rn

I'm sorry but if you've only found jobs on Craigslist and if your "agent" is asking you $350 then you're not a model at all, just another victimes of some scammers

This is without a doubt a scam. There's a whole industry here in LA that leeches off aspiring models, musicians, and actors this way. They also often have you sign a contract with them, but it's not because they're going to get you work; it's so that if you do happen to find success on your own, you'll still owe them a percentage or have to buy your way out of your contract.

If someone is legit and thinks you have potential, they'll want to get you working, because that's how you make them money. They won't be charging you for doing their job.

Cool, let's make this thread informative then. You mind answering a few questions?
How old were you when you started, and how old are you now?
How did you get started?
Where are you located? Have you worked in other places?
What kind of work do you do? Catwalk, publicity campaings, fittings?
How's the pay?
What are your stats?

Hope these aren't stupid questions, and thanks in advance. And anyone else who works as a model that wants to answer some of the questions is welcome to.

English ain't my first language, so I'm sorry if I don't get it. What I mean is if he's a model who does fashion shows, since not all of them do that.

So when people sign a new model and that model doesn't have a portfolio the agent always pays for them to get one?

I'm 21, I started when I was 19

I got scouted by a local agency, then did some free gigs to gain experience and they sent my profile and book to other bigger agencies

I'm located in Milan right now, and I've worked in Paris, Barcelona and Tokyo

I've done runway shows, lookbooks shootings, some magazine articles and videos for new collections

The pay is highly depending on the jobs and brands you Can can work for, without being accurate I can say that videos are the best paying, you can earn up to several thousands a day. Big ass contracts are when you do adverts that are on TV , here you make serious bank

I'm between 6'0 and 6'1, and slightly less than 145lbs

no worries mate. they are normally called runway. catwalk is sort of a "uncool" way to say runway. i also model and english isn't first language, and none of my models friends every say catwalk
ive only heard on shitty show like project runway
