By law modeling agencies are not allowed to charge their models anything. The only way an agency is able to make money off of the models it represents is by taking a commission from each paying gig they book for them. Agencies should not charge you directly for putting together a portfolio or for taking modeling classes. If you do end up paying for your portfolio you will be paying the photographer, not the agency.
It is totally fair for agencies to take a commission for their part in finding a model paid work but not for any other reason.

Does a talent agency needs to charge hopeful client it should'nt be?
I'm not sure what you are asking since the wording is kind of awkward but talent agencies charge their clients accordingly per project, according to the client's needs and the size of the budget. Clients refer to the companies or individual looking to hire a model or actor for a project. Talent agencies should not charge their talent/models.
Is it legal for model scouts to charge for pictures?
This is a tricky question to answer. In general, model scouts should only be responsible for networking with potential models and inviting them to the agency for an interview. From there the model scout's job is done. If the scout is the one trying to charge you for pictures then you should be suspicious. Modeling agencies are only allowed to have models pay for portfolio pictures after they have been signed to a modeling contract. It is illegal for them to charge upfront fees before offering you a contact to sign. They are walking a very fine line so you should be very wary.
Is it normal for an agency to ask for an booking fee for modeling?
