How to Avoid Child Model Agency Scams

Naturally, all parents believes their child is the cutest of them all, and many parents are keen for their children to have a go at modelling if they have the potential. Sadly, there are many scams out there to take advantage of this fact and if you're not careful they could leave you out of pocket with no hope of getting work. This post will help with avoiding Child Model Agency Scams.

1) If you apply to what appears to be a modelling agency make sure it really is a model agency.

Many sites that appear to be model agencies are not agents at all but a front for a photo studio that is only interested in selling you an expensive photo shoot.

2) Make sure you find an agency that is registered on the AMA list (Association of Model Agencies).

3) Make sure check any reviews and find out exactly what is involved. For example, if you are signed to an agency in London and all their castings are there, then it isn't much use living in Glasgow.
