If a modeling agency is asking you for money upfront before offering you a contract, then it is a scam. Modeling agencies are only allowed to make money based on the commission they make from each job they book you for. Additionally, if an agency wants you to cover the costs of your first photoshoot for your portfolio and for comp cards, they can only do this if you sign a contract first, not before. Some agencies cover the costs, while others ask the model to cover them. This is normal.
Modeling schools and conventions will ask for extraordinary amounts of money but do not turn to these as a way to enter the modeling industry. It is a waste of time and money.
Most new models only pay for their first test shoots if the cost is not covered by the agency. Even then it is usually between $200-600, which can be quickly made back once you start working.

∙ 7y agoTechnically, the main way modeling agencies get paid is by charging a percentage of commission for each of the jobs they book for their models.
If a model has to pay an agency it is usually a situation where the agency has covered certain costs for the model (i.e. paying for their portfolio/test shoot, printing their headshots, comp cards and other materials). This happens when a model hasn't booked enough paid work for the agency to get their investment returned in the form of commission.
Sometimes when a model's contract is terminated, he/she may owe the agency fees related to this, which is within the agent's right (depending on what the contract says) to get from the model in order to consider the contract terminated.
