SEEN

Sat, 10 Oct 2009, 01:55 pm
Hi Jeff Thanks for your comments. If you read our website you will see that we are predominantly finding new prospective models an appropriate and safe way into the industry. SEEN is set up as an intermediary between model and agent. The idea is; for a potential model to get unbiased advice so they don't end up with a dodgy agent. As part of our process we photograph these people to ascertain their potential/ability and so that they have a portfolio should they wish. Hence, all the talk about the photos. This is (in my opinion) the best way to test a model. Actually do a full blown fashion shoot with them. We believe this gives us a real edge in determining potential and the model gets an edge due to the high quality of her/his portfolio. That is why we focus so much on the photography and this is our main income stream. We make no secret of this. Models don't have to spend a thing and we will still forward them on if they are suitable. So, to find a single job for a model is not our primary concern. We want to help them into a career and this means forwarding them to a good, appropriate agent or training facility. We do not charge for our services other than photography because we want to remain independent. We don't want our decisions as to which agent to reccomend to be based on a profit motive. We want the model to have the best agent regardless of any financial benefit. Nowadays we only work as an agency proper on the Gold Coast and everywhere else we reccomend other agencies that we have independently assessed. We are currently in the process of putting some work testimonials on our web site and also pulling down the 12 month old vacancy list that I honestly forgot was there. So, I hope this clears up any confusion. I will have to disagree with you though Jeff. Strawberry could have contacted us for testemonials and we would happily provide them. This blog puts doubt into peoples minds about SEEN when we are a highly ethical organisation. How are we to know that she is not good friends with a competing company and is just trying to cause trouble? I'm sure you understand. Anyhow, all the best. Here's to being "SEEN"! :-)
