My mother and I went to the interview in Rockville MD with approximately 200 other girls and I was selected by Mr Dwight Angors to be at the model expo. He told us that we would not need any money bacuse if a company wants you as a model they would not ask for money. Well that was one thing that made us think it was legitamate. So the next step was the photoshoot.
At this step the Mr Agnor said that we were not obligated to use his professional photgraphers. But we would run the risk of not being allowed to enter the expo with unprofessional pictures. Saying that made me nerveous so I asked my father for the money to use Mr Angor's prfessional photgraphers for a small fee of $395.00 plus $35 for the disc in which he said would be used incase the agents wanted extra pictuers.
My mother took me to the photoshoot in Fairfax Va at the hotel. He Mr Dwight Agnor had the family of the potential models set up in a big room there we had little make up done. On the site and it was told to bring atleast 15 outfit to change in for the photoshoot they only allowed 2 and we crossed dressed in those. The set up was very unprofessional and you had to pay before any thing could take place and after the shoot there was no refund policy set up.
My picture came unevenly spaced not centered and dark. Some of them did not come out at all and most look the same. Very unprofessional. The portfolio was put together by KinKo's so I had to spend $70.00 more dollars for that so I thought. We did not even have to show the pictures inorder to enter the expo so that was a lie. And once we arrived at the expo there were about 30 wave of model hopefuls and I was in the last wave of model hopefuls so most of the so cxalled agents had left when my group came up to show our pictures and most of the reemaining agent did not even look at the portfolio.
I felt so bad I came home and cried for two days so my father whom had spent this money. He decided to check Mr Agnor record and found that he has done this before. Playing on the emotions of young expiring model hopefuls and bring in those fake photographers and make up artist taking youg people for a rip off.
