Modeling scams

Hello again.

Ok so I'm going to continue introducing myself a bit.

Now I want to explain, briefly, my modeling experience.

1. I wanted to be a model
2. Went to live in Tokyo to pursue it
3. Immigration problems
4. Back to ground zero
5. College to prevent anymore problems and serve as plan B

Male modeling isn't actually as competitive or harsh as female modeling, but it also isn't as easy to find work in. And oh my god the scammers I have encountered. I have yet to encounter a legitimate modeling agency (not counting the ones in Japan) that didn't mark me as a sucker.

My most recent incident, I was told my pictures weren't quality pictures, and for only $800 I could make a better portfolio. These are the “bad quality pictures” she mentioned:

As you can see, these photos are indeed horrible quality...

I almost reached over the desk and strangled the con-woman with my bare hands, but I left before I had the chance. Though I did manage to steal a pen from her office.

While modeling can be rewarding though, my real passion is acting and singing. I LOVE to perform. It's just a lot harder to get into.

If anyone has any questions about modeling, I'd be more than happy to answer them for you.

Till next time.
