[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my son was younger, he was interested in getting into modeling though it was for a brief period of time so I only have a few takeaways to offer.

[b]I wouldn’t place my bets on modeling school - even one that also doubles as an agency (like Barbizon used to.)
I think that modeling schools try to present themselves as being very selective on who can attend but I personally feel that they basically accept anyone who is willing to shell out a huge amount of ca$h.
[/b]
Also some modeling schools will hold open “casting” calls claiming they are looking for new/fresh talent but in reality these are just ways they try to gain pupils w/stars in their eyes. 🤩

I would research legitimate modeling agencies in your area and contact those that have a reputable reputation.
Keep in mind that modeling agencies tend to be in larger cities such as LA, NYC, etc. vs. the Midwest.

Best of luck to your son OP! :)[/quote]

Modeling schools are a waste of money. And they will take anyone's money. And flatter them to get it. They are in the business of selling classes and selling (usually terrible) photographs. [/quote]

Yes modeling schools are most definitely scams.
They tend to prey on the dreams & vulnerabilities of people.
Besides if a person needs lessons or training then any reputable modeling agency can provide that.[/quote]

an editor friend showed me the "catalogs" from modeling schools.
