Talent & Models Kind words

I have always wanted to be a model since I was a little girl so it was exciting when a scout came up to me from a local agency and suggested I stop by their office to talk more.  They claimed that I was exactly what the market was looking for and that I was going to make a lot of money.  They then said all I had to do was come up with $2000 dollars in three months! like it was the easiest thing to do! You then had to sign a contract saying if you didn’t have the photos taken by their photographer by the end of those three months and if you had not taken the required classes you would be dropped by the agency, but would still have to pay the money (Talk about pressure) I of course believed that this is what i had to do to make it so I got a couple loans, worked extra shifts for work and gave them the money.  Not only did I get behind on rent but I lacked sleep and any social life whatsoever!  And for what you ask?  ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!!!!  I signed on with them in January and have not received one Job or even a phone call.    When it was time to work with their photographer who was supposedly pretty much a god. The pictures were the worst and everything else that went along with it.  The photographer did not have a hair and makeup team like they had said he would, it was just him.  My hair and makeup have not looked so bad in my life.  He also told me I could be pretty if only i was skinnier and told me I probably should eat better. Then he told me other mean things that were not necessary at all. All in all one of the worst days of my life and the only photographer that has made me look and feel bad. This so called talent agency literally screwed me over and stole my money and respect.  I then decided that in order to get anywhere I needed to reach out to local photographers.  I contacted Dirk and have never looked back.  He was very professional and made me feel confident and beautiful which really showed in my pictures.  Dirk has a beautiful sense of what looks good and really builds on that so you get the best pictures that you could ever ask for and more.  He is one of the best photographers and I try to work with him as much as i can.
