Currently in Russia more than 3 thousand agencies acting as intermediaries between customers and service model by the models. Numerous portfolio, addresses, tens and hundreds of brilliantly executed orders - that can demonstrate almost every one of them in answering the question: what are you doing here?
But the mediator - he is the mediator: takes its rightful (and illegal), the percentage is attracting new customers and models. This is a classic pyramid: both financial and human resources. But the collapse them (or rather, the system model business) is not threatened. Contenders for the title of models galore, and their lovers - and even more so.
What can offer Russian modeling agencies? It should be noted that any agency exists on several levels: Beginners (training, preparation of professional portfolio) level for orders (for example, participation in the presentation of products is not the most "untwisted" the company or brand), the level of models, when looking for work which, I feel like saying: "Aerobatics! ". They have the right to choose the orders, but usually do not, because they know that in show business essential virtually none.
The last category of models attracted foreign partners, so girls and boys "high-flying" try as quickly as possible to contract almost from the first western agency, which makes them an offer. There is not the slightest hint of shortsightedness workers podium, it is that the owners of almost every Russian agencies view their business as a "juicer" without warranty (labor, social) for those who got in her binder. Profession model age: only a lucky few, select it, will be able to work after 28-30 years. And what's next?
Therefore, in recent years, many models that are sensibly evaluate their perspectives on the podium, master related professions (photographer, stylist), or get an education. Combine courses or training in high school with hard work on the "good uncle / aunt" in the agency he is certainly not easy, but the business model and teaches discipline to the idea that everyone should have their own bread.
