Note - all these companies are related - dwight agnor, the foudner of manhattan model search (now under new ownership) and the head of nycfame, trained david mogul the head of model search america. One of MSA's former employees now runs millennium model management. All related scams!!!
I wish I had seen your website before I blew over $600 for my daughter and I to attend the MSA convention in Chicago last December.
Although we were forewarned by the convention organizers that "we bring the agents to you... Whether they pick you or not is out of our hands, " it was not made clear that there would be over 800 people walking across a stage in front of about 25 extremely bored "agents, " and then the participants would quickly walk by the agents holding up a photo.
If the agent was looking down, talking to someone else, or just bored (my daughter was number 785), you didn't get seen, period.
Basically we paid $600 for the chance to have an agent glance in our direction for about 10 seconds.
As I looked around at the participants at the convention, I realized that we had been taken. Clearly, most of these people had a "snowball's chance" of becoming a model. They were there to pad someone's wallet.
Recently, my daughter has been approached (finally!) by a photography group which is taking her pictures for free (I will be present at the sessions). They are students who need a good model, and as payment she gets free photos and comp cards.
If you have what it takes, you shouldn't have to spend money for anything but photos to get into modeling.
