Industry Model And Talent Studios ripoff on professional pictures and dishonest about company information Ripoff Edgewater New Jersey
Major fraud company, do not trust them. They give you false information in tricking you to pay up front for pictures which you do not even need nor can keep unless you pay more money for it. They do not do any marketing whatsoever, but only ask of you to pay more and more money with no work done. They claim to do the advertising for you and use random models from random magazines and claim they got the exposure and jobs through them. They go around scouting for people that may not even qualify as being a model and claim they can turn anyone into a model. they claim they will find jobs for you, yet they really don't. They set the place up as if they really are a modeling agency. They have young and good looking people work from them to promote the company's image only in fooling you that they are real. I'm glad to have come to such realization sooner than giving anymore money than I already have. They scammed me of $495 for professional pictures I do not even need. I am beyond furious with this company and will fight in every way to get my money back.

I worked for this company for over a year and from my experiences as an employee, we do market our models to the fullest extent. Even though you say that all we do is ask for money, it is def. not that way. We let you know FROM THE BEGINNING, that every model that starts with us MUST be responsible for their professional photos which we then use the best 5 to create your marketing tools, i.e., your Composite Card which is necessary in order to professionally introduce that certain model to industry professional such as agencies, casting directors, and commercial print companies. If you want to keep all the pictures we shot of you, then you have the OPTION to purchase them for an add'tl 40 dollars! after that you are responsible to pay for the MAKING of your Composite Cards at an add'tl $1.75 (black and white and only used for acting gigs) or full color (for modeling AND acting) at $4.50. And instead of just purchasing composite cards, we present you with another option which in the long run is more economical than purchasing separate cards. This option is an online option called an ONLINE COMPOSITE CARD through the website Gigacomps.com where you can see your composite card online, see who is checking up on you (agencies, directors...etc) and print as many cards you need to go on go-sees, auditions, or castings. This way industry professionals can conduct a search on who fits what they're looking for and we can also. PLUS we print out these cards daily without charging you per print and directly mail the cards as an introduction to the companies we work with of our new model. ALSO you can always ask for a list or emails on what type of marketing we have done for your child or yourself, no questions asked. The professional photoshoot(which is always a great experience) and the composite card is all you pay for... everything else like the marketing, promotions, talking to casting directors, agencies, and all of our other 250+ companies we work with, emailing and mailing the composite cards, arranging meetings and auditions... is free! we do that part and we do it proudly. It is an investment and I am so sorry you do not see it that way.
