OTM (On Track Modeling) aka
AMG (Alpha Model Group)
To Whom It May Concern:
I just recently read the message written by the president
of OTM (Letter#3).
I paid OTM $599 for a photoshoot and $200 for composite
cards. Total: $799.
Yes, it is true that we weren't forced to use their
photographer. They said that we could use whomever we
wanted, just to make sure that they were fashion photographers,
but they really emphasized that we would be better off
using their photographer.
For those who have never been in the modeling industry,
they don't realize that you can find decent photographers
elsewhere, and many don't know whom to find, or where
to look. So it is much easier just to go with whomever
the agency is suggesting.
But when the quality of the photos turns out bad, you
question them.
My photographer was OTM's Rita Clonts. I don't know
if she is an actual employee of OTM or not. I just know
that the quality of the photos was bad, and I personally
didn't like her ideas for posing.
And at the time I didn't realize that you should only
pay around $300 or so for photos. $599 is steep.
And no, you aren't required to buy composite cards,
but what's the point of getting a photoshoot if you don't
get composite cards, which they need to represent you?!
