Well known and legitimate agencies that are known worldwide:
- Ford
- Elite
- DNA
- IMG
- Wilhelmina
- Women
- Trump Models
Basically, do an online search for modeling agencies according to the city and state you live in and visit their website. If they state that they do not charge any upfront fees or try to sell classes or training then chances are they are not a scam. Make sure they are not affiliated with any modeling schools or conventions. You can also check with the Better Business Bureau website to see if they have a list of complaints. Watch out for companies such as Diesel Models in the UK that appear to be a modelling agency but are just another name for a photos studio such as Sugar Rush Studios/Blue Rooms
The best way to answer this question is by being aware of any of the following, which should be seen as red flags of a potential scam:
- Guarantees that you will be successful and receive ongoing, paid work (no agency can ever guarantee success and will never say or put such a statement on their website)
- Charge upfront fees, especially if you have not signed a contract
- Use high pressure sales tactics to get you to pay for modeling classes, training or for putting together a portfolio with one of their photographers
You will want to stick to modeling agencies that are well known by their name and have been in the industry for some time, such as Storm, Next and Model 1. Legit agencies will not charge upfront fees or force you to pay for classes or a portfolio before offering you a contract.
