Proscout
To Whom It May Concern:
My daughter recently attended a presentation promoted
by ProScout.
Her daughter (my grand daughter) is extremely beautiful,
but only seven years old. ProScout jumped at the chance
to give her a selection card, inviting her to meet the
agents in Orange County this coming March (2003).
They have asked my daughter to pay $500 and
have told her that her chances are extremely high of
being picked up by a top agency.
I have told my daughter that she should spend the money
to have photographs taken of the beauty, and send them
to the individual agencies, all without the so-called
help of "Pro Scouts."
I modeled for several years as a teenager and found
that all agencies want to see the product from the camera
vs. the 10-second march!
Sincerely,
C.B. in Las Vegas, Nevada
C.,
You are on the right track about avoiding costly middlemen,
but professional photos aren't even needed at the beginning;
snapshots are sufficient.
Once the snapshots are approved, then the agency will
want to do test shoots, to, as you said, "see the
product from the camera."
