I recently got an email from EMG models to meet with them and she said she wanted to build my portfolio. She then scheduled me a shoot to build my portfolio next week with a whole team of MUAs and a photographer. There were no prices discussed and nothing brought up about paying. They didn’t offer me a contract YET, but want to help me build my portfolio first. I’m not sure if you ever heard of this situation? I don’t know whether to be happy that they want to help me and I don’t know if that means that they possibly really like me and possibly WILL offer me a contract once I do build my portfolio? If you could give me some comments and opinions that would be amazing! Much love xoxo KattKatt O’Flahertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01437654639023342852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768796656331806390.post-68274767452744394122017-05-09T08:36:18.481-07:002017-05-09T08:36:18.481-07:00Hi, Anonymous!

However, they said that before signing the contract with me they would need me to get a test shoot done. They sent me a list of some pretty famous photographers and said I can either have a shoot with one of them or find any other photographer myself if I want. The prices for the test shoots on the list they sent me were 50£ (64$) on average, which is not too much, and the photographers are really famous and worked all over the globe. But do you think it's ok that they will sign a contract with me after I get the test shoot done? I don't know why but that makes me a bit nervous haha<br />Thanks in advance for you reply!!! <3 Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768796656331806390.post-92191654188042840092016-12-15T10:11:43.492-08:002016-12-15T10:11:43.492-08:00Hi, Anonymous!

I found out though, that the cost is 995$ and no contract was offered. It sounds scretchy!

I was offered a 2 year contract and told that I need to pay for a shoot, for high quality anywhere from $700-$1200. I was nervous about this because i read that the agency should be investing in you. After i read you post i feel a little better. However they also mentioned a $300 a year fee for the agency to maintain you profile on their website. This seems steep to me. I also feel like 2 years is a long time. What if I don't get sent out enough? I am just nervous about all of it and worried about being taken advantage of. What is your advice or 2 cents on the matter ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768796656331806390.post-77535781091594071722013-07-23T20:44:01.724-07:002013-07-23T20:44:01.724-07:00Hi, GlitzyStar10!

I went to the meeting with my mom and she was talking about the process and in which catergy i would fall into (teens). And the woman said that since i was just beginning and didn't have any pictures i have to built my profolio and that she had 2 Photographers that each cost more than $1,000 she said i could pick between those two but she never gave me a contract to sign. I told her we would think about it and at the end i told her no. Do you think i made a mistake or was that agency a scam ?!
