Not quite true, however there are many model agencies, that do try it on! If they can get away with it, My daughter and myself have been approached several times, our portfolio isn't large, although it is made up from the jobs we have done.hillview2006 wrote:Yup, very normal to pay for the portfolio and the grooming courses maybe optional for some agent.

I completely agree with this... there are all kinds of scams that can be run.Ian100 wrote:Hi I am a photographer in the Uk and will soon be living in Singapore doing another career.
With regards to what you wrote.....be carefull about these things, in the UK i would never every recommend people pay for what you are describing, I dont know what it is like in Singapore but I doubt it is any different. I tried to PM you (but I am a new user looking for a place to live) and that service is not available to me. PM me and I will explain what I know...

Thanks for the advice,Ian! Its my first time experiencing it so you can imagine how's my curiousity was. I dont have any confidents with the person who approached me eversince he asked me whether i also do social escort?? Im not sure whether he's trying to be funny with me but he did left me his namecard,surprisingly. isnt sumthing to do with modelling or what? nd ur advice. tanksIan100 wrote:Hi I am a photographer in the Uk and will soon be living in Singapore doing another career.

First of all, you must check the background of the Agent.
I shouldn't worry, they will send photo's out to clients, they also need the money, if you get no offer within a certain period, i would request proof, that they have fulfilled their obligations. since you have paid the money upfront. if they haven't sent your sons photo's out, then i would think you have a claim.mesa wrote:Oh, No!
I should have read these. It is too late as I already paid S$380 for the portfolio for my son. He was approaced by IMI Pte Ltd and went down for the interview and 2days later for the portfolio.
But as long as they offer a job, even just once, we wouldn't feel bad.
Is there anybody knows this company?
Regards all
