Well I must say that I am not pleased to find this entry in the blogs. Firstly, as the owner of SEEN, I find the mere question an insult. You would think that after 4 years operation, and 1500 models through the door, that those in the industry would have heard of us... But there you go! I also don't like this form of unqualified media. It opens doors to competing businesses and their friends to anonomously rubbish their competition and put doubt in peoples minds. You would think an association would know better!? I would like to take issue with the first comments from the reply from Puppets in Melbourne. There is a type of staff aquisition process called attrition and it is used by nearly every major organisation in the world. It requires drawing talent from an extremely large pool to find the very best after you have sivved through the pool. The theory is, the larger the pool, the better the talent at the other end. So, to say "Ok, first off: legit agents have TOO many applicants to go scouting for more from sites online.". This is absolute rubbish! Most agencies are constantly looking for new talent in numerous ways. Then "Second, never trust anyone who contacts you from such an online profile (unless you initiated the communication)." I have to ask the question, Why Not? It is no more of a fear than being contacted by phone or in person. It is 2009. We use the internet because it is better and faster. That's it! Thirdly the MEAA, a fine organisation I am sure. However, totally irrelevant to what we do. We are a new business that looks for new talent and then showcases them to the industry. That is what we do entirely. The MEAA is of no use to us and we are of no use to them. Our ABN is 22 120 991 184. Please find testemonials below as written from mour myspace pages..

You all made us feel so welcome and comfortable!....and especially a BIG Thank you from Whitney for making her first time experience with this photo shoot so enjoyable. She said that James(?) the photographer was so helpful and made her feel at ease, and her confidence grew from there, enough to get her personality out! So please pass on my appreciation and gratitude to him also! Savannah Lee Hong: the shoot went great the other weekend :) Mel Eliko: shoot went well. Can’t wait to see photos up.
