Q: When my teen joins the Teen Division
can you guarantee them work?
A: No Model Agency can guarantee you work. Once your teen's portfolio
is circulating it is ultimately up to the clients who they choose
for each job. What we do guarantee is the fact that we only take
onto our books teenagers we feel we will be able to place in jobs.
It would be totally non productive and time wasting for us to fill
our books with models who have no chance of working.
Q: Who do you accept onto your
books?
A: Teens between 13 and 17 years who we believe stand a chance of
working as models.
Q: How many jobs can they expect in a year?
A: How long is a piece of string? Some models "hit it off"
quicker than others and seem to secure every job for which they
are auditioned, others sadly never really take off and get only
the occasional job whereas there are those that never get a job.
There is no knowing how successful any model will be until their
face is out there and being viewed by clients.
Q: How will I know when a client wants to book them?
A: We will contact you by telephone to provide you with the details
of your booking if it is confirmed. You will receive an email when
a client requests further details from your portfolio.
Q: Is there a fee to be represented by your agency?
A: No. We do not charge fees for representation. We earn 30% agency
commission on work models perform through our agency.
Q: Do you charge an assessment or interview fee?
A: No. We do not charge a fee for assessments, interviews or consultations.
Q: Do you charge for creating a portfolio?
A: No. Definitely not. We do not charge for the portfolio shoot
we provide for models we accept now, or in the future.
Q: Are there any fees?
A: We do provide training and ongoing advice which we offer to all
our successful applicants. We charge £70 per quarter to those
that wish to take up the offer of training. It is not a compulsory
part of being a model!
Q: What is the training?
A: This entails a shoot 4 times
a year each with a different top photographer together with other
teen models. A make up artist and stylist will be there plus an
art director. This will allow our 'new' models to experience how
to behave in a studio situation with other professionals with advice
and assistance. The experience gained is invaluable for when they
are 18 and old enough to work in the industry.
Q: Why do you charge quarterly?
A: In our experience some children like the idea of modelling, but
when they realise it is quite hard work cool to the idea and leave
the agency. In this case you have only paid for the one training
session they have been on and there is no pressure to pay for more.
Q: My teen doesn't need
to learn how to model they are very experienced!
A: Every child is the apple of their parents eye. If your child
is really that experienced we must assume they are already represented
by an agency.
Q: Who will take the photographs for my child's folio?
A: Our in house photographer is CRB checked
although all teens must have a parent with them at all times.
Q: Can we have pictures
from the Portfolio shoot?
A: The
shoot is at the agency's expense and for us to promote your child
to clients. The pictures are not for sharing as they would probably
end up on other agencies sites. We are happy to provide pictures
from the shoot with the agency logo on to go on facebook, bebo,
etc. We are happy to provide prints from the shoot if requested
for a reasonable fee. Not £100 each :)
Q: Are there laws surrounding
teens modelling?
A: There
certainly are and if your teen is of legal school age will need
a special licence from your local LET. We are experienced in this
and provide all the paperwork you need.
Q: Are there fees surrounding
the licence?
A: We
charge a £20 administration fee that we take from the job
fee so it is only charged if your teen has done a paid job.
Q: I know that teens
need to be chaperoned at all times what would happen if I cannot
make it to a job with them?
A: We have models on our staff that are
also registered chaperones we would make them available.
