Robert Amatruda and Associates
To Whom It May Concern:
I am trying to find out about Robert Amatruda & Associates and Booking
Actors & Models (bammodels.com).
They are making a swing though the country having "auditions." I
attended the Sept. 28 convention in Dallas, and my daughter
has received a call back from them.
I am supposed to meet them tomorrow. On the phone they
said that they "very interested" in my daughter,
and want us to go to Los Angeles to take photos. These
photo packages range from $1,000 to $6,000, not to mention
having to pay air and hotel in L.A.!!!
Needless to say, this sent up the RED flags and I started
investigating. This is how I found your site. Based of
the info and cautions I read here and other places, I
think you might have helped save me some money.
Nevertheless, I was wondering if you knew anything about
them?
Thanks for the informative site.

W.,
Robert Amatruda wants you to pay up
to $6,000 for photos AND fly to Los Angeles for a photoshoot?
Who is he? A king?
This is unbelievable. It is unheard of. On both points.
Who pays $6,000 for photos? Who flies to another city
for a photo shoot?
Professional models fly to another city for a photo
shoot but the client pays.
New models starting out should not pay more than $300,
said the President of top agency Next in New York. The
president of a model and talent agency said $200-600
is okay, and $800 is a lot.
But this all is missing the point. You are in Dallas?
He is in California. Did you already visit Dallas agencies?
Call some of them and ask about photo pricing. Ask them
if $6,000 for a new and untested model is the sign of
a reputable agency.
