Modeling Scams


Face National Models and Talent


To Whom It May Concern:

My name is Jennifer Gill. I am the owner of Face National Models & Talent, LLC.

I appreciate what your web site is trying to accomplish; I do, however, know people are very quick to make false accusations regarding this skeptical industry.

I would like to give some more information regarding FACE. FACE is a full-service modeling agency providing corporate America with the strongest talent available.

We have accumulated a diverse group of attractive people to serve the varying needs of our clients. FACE has developed partnerships with a number of national corporations that have given our models the opportunity to get the exposure they need, while providing them with income.

When we conduct talent searches, it is for a reason. Clients contact our booking department with a need for models in a specific city —in most cases several different cities.

The client will request the number of models needed in the city along with all of the appropriate information we will need to make the booking successful.

If we do not have enough models in a specific city, we will do a talent search. During a talent search, the potential models are interviewed. Hopefully, we will get experienced models that know about the business.

If we offer a potential model a contract, he or she may have a composite card to submit to the agency. Consequently, they may be submitted for work immediately.

(A composite card is needed in this business —they are requested by all clients that hire models —it is the most important tool in the modeling industry.)

If the model is inexperienced and does not have a composite card, we can offer a professional photographer for a very reasonable and competitive price.

All of the photographers FACE uses are professional photographers who are experienced in the modeling industry, not only working for FACE, but with some of the biggest agencies in the country.

The FACE Models staff works very hard for our models and clients. Our booking department sometimes works over 200 models in one week.

Every day our client list grows, and so does our booking team. Every booking agent in the office takes pride in their work and loves making our models money!

FACE moved to a large downtown office in Charlotte to accommodate our growing booking team. Anyone is welcome to visit our new office and see what really happens at FACE.

It's unfortunate that people who don't know the industry well enough can call any agency a scam if they don't become supermodels.

We sign the majority of our models to non-exclusive contracts so the models can get the most out of their modeling career. When a model signs a non-exclusive contract, the model can work with several different agencies if they choose.

We give models an opportunity to work mostly on a part-time basis —it's supposed to be fun! Remember, modeling is just like the entertainment business —very few people become famous. It's so important to be realistic.

Not only does the staff work extra hard for all of our models, but, for the last two months after work the staff here has been planning a charity fashion show for Camp Happy Days. Now, children with cancer can attend the camp from all of the hard work the staff has put in.

The great people that make up the staff of FACE care about this company, and work so hard to make this agency something we all can be proud of.

Again, it's important to have realistic expectations in this business. You get what you put in to any career. FACE can get a model started and put some money into their pocket, but it's also up to the model to do their part.

Models think they sign a contract, and two months later they should be signing autographs.

Most of the agencies listed most likely are not "scams"; the models blame the agency for not putting them on the front cover of Vogue next to Naomi.

Some models should think twice if this industry is suitable for them. Making false accusations does not help this industry —that's why people automatically feel they need to slander any agency without knowing the facts.

Our website is facemodels.com —we continually update our site.

If anyone should want more information regarding FACE, please don't hesitate to contact our office.

Best Regards,

Jennifer Gill
Owner of Face National Models & Talent, LLC.
