Attention Models and Talent. It has been brought to my attention that there is a man named “Fresh” saying he works with Carinae Casting , uses a CarinaeStudios email address and is trying to meet up with models. A model was worried about her safety and decided to so her research. This is what she wrote me…
“I have been contacted by a “Fresh” I just wanted to see if he was actually
affiliated with your company only because he doesn’t have the same domain as
your site… plus I didn’t see his name on the website either. I am a model
and I just need to know for my security.”
Thanks,
If you don’t receive and email from the carinaecasting.com website or carinaecasting [at] aol [dot] com it is not us! You can always double check on our website. We post all our castings and we have contact information on the website. Models/Talent make sure you do your research. If someone says that they are an agency, please take the time to try to google them or ask around. You can always go on twitter, facebook, or myspace to ask the public if they have heard of the agency.
Thank you for taking the time…smile, shine and be safe!

Modeling Scams!!!

Scams in the World of Modeling…
The bad news about the modeling industry: it’s full of scams. The good news: education can keep you from avoiding all of them.
One of the most basic kinds of modeling agency scams is an individual, a couple, a group, or company calling itself a modeling agency, when it is not a modeling agency.
A photographer, for example, may call himself a modeling agency, when in reality all he has is a photo studio. A photo studio, however, is not a modeling agency.
There are also modeling agencies which are photo mills. They do not get people work. They do not make all their money from commissions after models work; instead, they make most of their money or even all of their money from modeling photos, before a model gets any work.
This type of modeling agency runs what is one of the most basic kinds of modeling agency scams: a modeling photography scam.
The modeling agency pretends it is going to get aspiring models work, and to do that, the aspiring model will need photos, or comp cards, or a portfolio.
So the hopeful model pays hundreds or thousands of dollars on photography, but never gets any work.
A major modeling agency scam is when the agency makes all its money from photography, or it takes all the money the models spend on photos. They can do this because they have their own photographer(s). (If, for example, a model spends $1,000 on photos, the agency takes and keeps $1,000.)
Work
Regarding work, three questions must be asked of all modeling agencies:
1. How many of their models get work?
2. How much work do the models get?
3. How much money do the models make?
If none of the models get work, it is more than likely a total scam.
If most of the models get work, but they don’t do more than one modeling job, and they don’t make more than they paid for modeling photos (comp cards), it could be a modeling scam.
A legitimate modeling agency cannot guarantee all its models will work. After all, which models work and which models do not work is not the choice of the agency. The best they can do is recommend specific models to their clients, but the clients ultimately decide.

FYI: When there’s a casting, model call or a photographer, do your research. Check their websites and ask around in the streets and on the blogs to see if the company/business is legit…
