Just a note, they've been operating for a decade and didn't even have a business card to give.

>>10636112
rip off, they would just take that 550$ from any work you did in the future. Not up front.

>>10636112
They also said they wanted to set me up for commercial modelling.

>>10636120
I think they wanted me to pay now. Anyways I'm confused af, just really need help paying the rent.

Should I send my head shots and body shots to other agencies?
What's the standard way agencies usually charge and help their models in Australia? Especially Sydney. I literally know nothing about the industry.

My friend said she thought it was a ripoff too, they could take my cash and never find me work, which was the fear.

They said the wanted to find me commercial modelling work (5,10-5,11 here, haven't measured in a while)

actual model here, legit agencies NEVER ask for cash. I dont know anything about Australia, but there's probably not a lot of legit agencies there, no offense or anything. If you want a legit modeling career you'd need to move to NY/paris/london/milan/amsterdam pretty much

if you have any other questions let me know.

Well what kind of height do they usually require (I prefer if anons gave me heights for a list of industries such as street, editorial, runway and print)? And what are the standards for male East Asian models (Chinese here).

Also, if I want to apply for an agency through their website, how should I message them and what kind of photos do I send?

alright thats like 6 questions in one but ill try to answer them

>Well what kind of height do they usually require

anywhere from 5'11 to 6'3, i'd say the most common height is 6'1 , that's how tall i am as well. This applies to runways especially, editorial doesn't really matter at all and ''street'' isn't really a thing in highfashion modeling.

>And what are the standards for male East Asian models

I'm not sure if i understand your question? There's no ''standards'' for any model other than height/weight. It's 90% about face and most top models look nothing alike.

>Also, if I want to apply for an agency through their website, how should I message them and what kind of photos do I send?

Just email them with something like pic related, including one with your profile (so looking sideways, pretty much)


Also just to say it one more time: dont ever pay an agency for anything. ever.

By East Asian models I meant what kind of facial features does the industry look for in us?

>>10636298
no clue, agencies look for interesting, good looking faces regardless of race.

>>10636298
The same as everyone else cheekbones and jaw. Just dont be ugly. post a picture.

hey so my book and comp cards are trash but ive done quite a bit of work but my agency wont update my profile.

can i just ask them to put some fresh photos up on the site or what?

grow a pair and make your own life decisions instead of asking on 4chan you goof.
