Any information or experiences good/ bad really appreciated.

I think they just build the portfolios, not get actual work. But maybe wrong. Have looked at TrustPilot and reviews are mixed.

TIA!

I’ve never heard anyone get anything other than expensive, (hard sell), photographs from them. Is it for adult or child?

To add, my experience was that the reputable agencies never wanted a portfolio. My 7 year old was signed up to a great agency with just a few snaps taken at home. Also to add, yes, I think the ‘agency’ you mentioned is a scam. Always look to see who their clients are.

dd was with Bruce and Brown. Kids London were also great, if you were looking for children’s agencies that is

Thanks @selfishjeanss , that is really helpful.

It is for DS who is 18.

Did you just send photos to Bruce and Brown directly?

Hi yes, I just emailed the photos to them via their website. I think your DS will be better going to an adult agency, unless he looks very young for his age?

im not familiar with adult agencies, but had a quick google and found this to start https://www.starnow.com/uk/magazine/article/top-modelling-agencies-in-the-uk-76414/

hope that helps and good luck to your DS
