Child Modeling

Child models checks shock

Thu, 08 Jan 2009 11:39:34 GMT

THE boss of one of the country's biggest children's advertisement model agencies has revealed she was allowed to set up in business without any checks on her background.

Kathy Haslam, of reputable Manchester-based Kids, spoke out after an M.E.N investigation revealed that a complete lack of regulation means anyone can start any type of employment agency without being vetted.

Kids boss Kathy, 40, said when she and Wendy Crowther set up in 1999, they were amazed to be told there were no checks to be done.

She said: "We contacted the Department of Trade and Industry and we said we're here and we're a children's model agency you can check us out, run the police checks.

"We were appalled when they said `just carry on, there's no provision for licensing of you or accreditation' - especially because we are dealing with children black models."

Kids are the agents for two-month-old Holly Bowyer, of Little Hulton, Bolton, who plays Tracy Barlow's daughter in Coronation Street. They also provide Ben and Emma's baby in Hollyoaks.

The M.E.N revealed that rogue agencies trade on the hunger of vulnerable model wannabes. We exposed Nigel Read, boss of Perfect Image, a Manchester commercial modeling agency which took money from an undercover reporter, leading her on for weeks with promises of work before finally "losing" all her details.

Child Modeling Photography

Wed, 17 Sep 2008 08:11:20 GMT

The credibility of a modeling agency and the possibility of a modeling photography scam can be evaluated to some extent based on whether only one photographer is required or recommended for american models. Reputable agencies should give a list of top photographers but they will not require one photographer.

The credibility of photographers can be checked by looking at the history of the photographer who is required or recommended. Get the photographer's name. Find the photographer's experience and model agents. Visit the photographer's website. Look at samples of previous work.

In the book, The Modeling Handbook, Eve Matheson writes: "Never spend money on a portfolio for a baby or young child models. In three months they will look different. The pictures in your wallet will do just fine"

Tim Tew, a photographer in Orlando, Florida, has this advice for parents for kids model: "Don't let anyone sell you a thousand-dollar portfolio. You only need a couple of snapshots to find out if an agent is interested. Then a good headshot is all your need to get started"
