To Bob and all of the Mission Model Management
team,I just wanted to say thank you again for getting me
another paid job. It was a real pleasure on Sunday [9th
August with Claire] to work for such an exclusive and
significant name in the jewellery industry [our client].
I meet some fantastic designers and other very
interesting and highly regarded people.
The jewellery was just divine. I was wearing the most
beautiful diamond necklace which cost £250,000!!
Altogether I was wearing about £1 million through the
evening and I have to say that I did feel very special.
Please let me know when you get a hold of the footage
from the TV interview we did as I would like a copy of
it.
Thanks you very much for this experience and the
exposure from this job.
I'll be looking forward to receiving another job through
Mission Models very soon!!

I just wanted to say Thank you ever so much for
getting me another paid job, to be the face of max
cleavage was amazing. I can’t believe I had my shots on
the same website along side such big celebrities such as
Sarah Harding from (GIRLS ALLOWED ) and Louisa the
actress from Eastenders, The Bill and Strictly Come
Dancing. It was just an awesome experience and everyone
was so kind and lovely to work with. It has now done
wonders for my experience and portfolio.
Thank you so much Mission Models for helping and leading
me to become a top model.
All the best Natasha xx

Dear Mission Models management team, I would like
you add (if you so wish to) this to your testimonials
page as I am so impressed with your company as a new
model starting out in the business.
I can’t believe how much I’ve achieved and what I’ve
done in less than one week being on your books. To
anyone reading this email this is what I’ve had from
Mission Models by only sending the one unprofessional
snapshot of myself.
I have received to date professional advice to help me
as a model which has benefitted me greatly. I received
my first paid booking at Asian wedding exhibition
catwalk at Alexandra Palace working with Simi hair and
beauty as a beauty model and runway model which was a
one day booking for £150. The photos will be published
2010 in Asian bride magazine and Asian women magazine.
Two days later I was asked to go to London College of
Fashion where I was a hair and make-up model for a
1980’s style/ new romance shoot where I got all my
pictures for free. The next day I was asked to carry out
a two day paid booking for one of Britain’s Celebrity
Stylist Patrick Cameron where I did a 1920’s style shoot
as hair and face model and video shoot and received
stunning pictures for free also.
So basically I have received just under £500 worth of
bookings and now 3 other shoots booked from you. My
pictures and videos published in magazines and on
websites and received lots of free pictures to market
myself and use for my show book. I can’t thank Mission
Models management enough for giving me such great
opportunities and wish I had found them earlier!!
From Rebecca AKA Ginger.xxxxxx to you all.

I am currently an actress who had a warm desire to
experience professional modelling. Mission Models have
secured my aspirations. They provided me with a
professional Photo shoot with two renowned
photographers. Robert Barbieri directed me and not only
taught me vital aspects of the industry, but his belief
and drive has enlightened me of my talent and look for
future projects. I am very excited to develop my
modelling skills and to introduce my work to the highly
profiled industry professionals.
What a productive and fulfilling day!

Cellcast TV broadcasts many live and interactive
shows TV shows. There is always a constant need for new
models/presenters on the shows here at Cellcast TV and
with Mission Models we were able to arrange a casting at
least once a week. The models from the agency were on
time, responsive and had a great willingness to learn.
We currently have 3 of Mission Model’s girls working on
our day-time shows, Party People TV show All models
have proven to be keen, reliable, suitable for the
position and of course, not forgetting…… beautiful.

I would like to personally thank you for all the
hard work that you did last night. The response from the
audience and the owner of the venue was phenomenal. They
all enjoyed the hard work that we put into making the
Kyzar Chic presents Sado' fashion show a success....your
cat walk models from mission models were outstanding.
Thank you again for taking time out of your busy
schedules to help me put this event together, I
appreciate it. If you have any questions do not
hesitate.

After spending the last few weeks working with the
girls from Mission Models i would like to give a big
thank you to MM and the team. As a fashion photographer
i have photographed many models but have found the
Mission Models girls to be amongst the most professional
and talented that i have worked with. I am looking
forward to working with them in the future, and would
recommend Mission Models to anybody looking for a
dedicated, efficient, and top quality agency.

I've been with Mission Models for a few weeks now
and can honesty say I've never received so much support
and advice from an agent before. Mission Models managing
director is not only constructive and helpful, he is
also a great person to talk to and I instantly had a
rapport with him and trust his advice. I was recommended
a photographer to help build up my portfolio and Mike
Bowes is one of the most talented photographers I've had
the good fortune to work with. The shoot was
professional yet relaxed and I can't wait to see the
pictures. I hope to work for your company for a long
time and look forward to what the future may hold with
Mission Models.

Mission Models does exactly what it says- makes it
their Mission to make you a model ! I have been with
them for two days now and have received more knowledge,
work, and support than I have received being in a past
agency for in a year! Not only is Director company very
professional, he takes time out and plans our career
individually, which we all know you do not get anywhere
else. He is helping me a lot not just to benefit
him/agency but to make sure you do it right, safely, and
makes sure its the best thing for you to do!
I would highly recommend this Mission Models to
everyone, and look forward to a great career with them.
I hope to support them just as well as they have me !!!
Thank you for everything so far, and everything to come

A big thank you to Mission Models.
I had the chance to meet Mission Models' MD who is very
professional and supportive. He gave me advice and he is
currently doing his best to improve my portfolio.
Mission Models is a very well Connected Company that is
always very active in finding jobs for me. I've wasted
so much time with other so called agents, that have just
had me paying fees!..and have done nothing! Thank you so
much Mission Models in supporting me and arranging a
free TFP shoot to help my book with photos that I've got
work with via you.. I wish I had met you guys first
before wasting so much money with the rest.

| I would like to take this opportunity to thank
Mission Models management team for being so fast and
professional, within a month I was signed and already
given a paid job at a catwalk show in Alexandra
Palace......for Asian fashion week. They took the time
to make sure i understood the modelling industry and to
discuss what's best for me in being successful. I am
pleased Misson Models decided to take me on because I
have had the pleasure to work along side talented
photographers . I am looking forward to the future with
Misson Models as i know it will be a bright one. |

As a current model I am writing to say a big thank
you to Mission Models. Without the great professional
help of MM, I wouldn't be where I am today. Straight
away I was booked in to get professional photographs
taken, with useful advice given from MM to help me
achieve the best possible looks. I have recently updated
these by having a photo shoot at a great location which
has allowed me to improve my portfolio and gain
experience. From Mission Models representing me and
putting me forward, I have attended several castings for
various jobs of which some have been successful allowing
me to participate in catwalks etc. my agent has given me
great encouragement to achieve my goals, and I look
forward to the future.

Mission models have been like my second family, not
only does my agent given me life changing experiences,
such as major fashion shows, got me paid work and gives
one on one professional meetings, they have also become
a good friend. Always there to give advice when i need
it. As a petite model i have found it hard to get a lot
of work, but with Robert Barbieri as my agent i have
been able to fulfil my dreams of not only becoming an
editorial and commercial model, but an experienced
catwalk model too. So thank you to mission models for
helping me achieve my dream.

I recently replied to an advertisement about a
modelling agency. I was invited to an interview at the
Mission Models office and not only was I greeted with
courtesy and professionalism, but after only one week of
hiring me, I am pleasantly surprised at the great
lengths Mission Models have already gone to for me.
Having been a model/musician for a while, I have
unfortunately come across a huge amount of so-called
'agencies' that exploit young girls for ridiculous
amounts of money. Therefore, it gives me a renewed sense
of faith in the industry when I see a fantastic website
like your own working with only the best agencies
around. I have you and Mission Models to thank for my
recent step up in the music and modelling industry and
for that I would like to thank you. Please feel free to
add any of this message to your 'Success Stories' page.
Many thanks

Mr Robert Barbieri
Managing Agent
Dear Mr Barbieri
With immediate effect with this email I wish you and
Mission Models to represent me and to act on my behalf
as my sole managing agent in full regard, point 1 of my
management agreement with you in its entirety, globally.
I wish to honour in full my third party managing
agreement but wish you to exclusively act on my behalf
as my managing agent.

| I joined Mission Models about a month ago. Within
the first week of having me on their books Mission
Models put me forward for a casting for a fashion show.
I got the job and had a great time walking in a fashion
show for a top fashion designer which not only gave me
pictures for my portfolio but was filmed as well.
Mission Models did not delay in getting me on the
website either. I was up and running on the web site
after only two weeks! Bob is professional, honest, and
very hardworking. He is on a mission for all of his
models! |
|
After a few years and few hundred pounds wasted with
bogus agents. I have now found an agency to represent me
in a way that no other has done for me so far ever. The
work with Mission Models that I have done and had so far
doesn't compare to anything else! Within a week I
already had a casting to go to for a TV presenting job
in less than a week of being on there books. Things are
going really well and I'm excited with what I've got
coming up and so pleased & happy to be on the books of
Mission Models so...
Thank you xxx
Carly. |

Hi Bob and the team.
I would just like to say a big thank you, although I
have only been on your books for a about a month I have
had a free photo shoot as well as the photographs, been
sent to a very high profiled fashion show......with a
leading fashion house thanks to you. I think this is
brilliant considering I have only been on here for such
a short period of time. I will look forward to see what
approaches me in the future!!
Again thanks for everything.

| I'm writing to thank you for all your hard work and
support you have given me within the last year. I would
never of been able to get where i am today if it wasn't
for your belief in me. I couldn't believe the day you
called to tell me i was playing Kate Moss for the Sky
documentary about her drug use. It was my first fully
paid professional job and i was thrilled to get such an
amazing job after being in the industry for such a short
period. Mission models have also arranged top photo
shoots for me, this was to add to my portfolio. I
couldn't believe the quality of the shot's. My hair and
make-up were professionally done by a top make-up artist
who travelled down form London especially for my shoot.
Mission models also gained me extra work by sending me
to promotional events, which were all fully paid. |
|
| Mission Models is definitely the place where the
best models, dancers, actresses and presenters etc. of
2007 and beyond are going to be found. There's a myriad
of talent involved and Mission Models does the best to
ensure that an artiste gets what they deserve, not pay
out to get anywhere, as is increasingly happening with
other agencies. Mission Models are wonderfully personal
and dedicated. |
|
| A big thank you to Mission Models for representing
me and putting me forward to other agents. After
attending a casting through Mission Models I was
successfully chosen to do a fashion show in London, which
I am currently rehearsing for. |
|
| I had no Model Agent and no Portfolio. However,
following a chance meeting with Bob Barbieri I had
within a matter of weeks an Agency Agreement with Model
Management and a brand new portfolio. I was promised a
full days FREE photo shoot which I attended recently and
it did indeed take the whole day, cost me nothing and
covered almost every look achievable to ensure variation
in my book. With Mission Models guidance the appropriate
shots have been selected and I am now in a great
position to start showing my book. Over the last month i
have had several conversations with Bob and been given
every confidence to produce the best shots and given
great encouragement for what potentially lies ahead!! |
|
I am writing to say thank you for the meeting in
London. I was very pleased with the meeting and
everything that was discussed. You are a very organised
company with a lot of profession.
You were also very honest which your honesty has helped
me a huge amount so I also thank you for that.
You have been very helpful and have given me fantastic
advice. I do hope that I would be working with such a
professional successful man meaning yourself very soon. |

I’m 19 years old an opportunity came up where I
could go to London have my pictures taken, (when I was
stopped in Oxford Street by a so called scout) they told
my I had the LOOK TO MAKE IT!
At a shoot with all my hair and make-up done, I thought
it was great someone wanted to take my pictures so I
begged my dad to lend me the large sum of £700. I know
it’s so much money but I was told by the agent that I
would definitely get work and me being naive I jumped at
the chance. God what a mistake!
I travelled all the way up to London had my pictures
done which at the time thought they were okay with loads
of other want to be models lining up at the studio they
Sweet Talked Me So Much ''saying that I was great and
that I would get lots of paid work '', so I left London
feeling amazing...MY DAD PAID THEM £700 it has been a
year now and I haven’t had any paid work....AND EVERY
AGENT I WENT TO WITH THE PHOTOS SAID NO TO ME! THEY SAID
MY PHOTOS WERE POOR, you don’t know how bad it made me
feel and what a waste of Money. By chance I was looking
though modelling agencies and I found Mission Models and
what a difference, oh my god, I have booked my shoot for
February and I am really looking forward to the day. You
can tell that Mission Models are the real thing due the
fact how professional and honest they are. They are
giving me a free shoot at no charge / the whole CD with
8 looks, possibly around 250 photos and free ten photos
of my choice on c /d high resolution, all free. Their
client lest is amazing and the fashion events is second
to none. I so wish I had met you guys
first............thank you for everything.

I've just joined Mission Models and I can honestly
say that Mission Models are different from the other
modelling agencies. They take time out, plan your
career, give you good advice and are very genuine,
friendly and professional.
Before joining Mission I had photos taken by a studio
and my pictures were not very good and I ended up paying
over £500 for 15 pictures and that was just for them on
a disc. I didn’t even get Prints / images.
The quality of my pictures were terrible and I felt the
studio had conned me into buying them.
Since Joining Mission I have already had a FREE photo
shoot with Patrick McGregor which was an outside photo
shoot and was great and Mission Models has very kindly
arranged for me to have another FREE photo shoot with
one of his great photographers so that I can build up my
portfolio and they are doing this all for FREE. I am
going to get the images on disc and printed
images and don’t have to pay a penny.
I would highly recommend Mission Models to everyone!!!
Their aim is to Make Models not to rip them off!
Thanks Mission!
And Robert I look forward to working with you in the
very near future!!!!

My 17 year old daughter, KT, joined Mission
Models at the beginning of June 2009 this year. As a
mother was very concerned for my girl who had been
promised so much in the past and been let down by other
(so called) agencies after having her hopes built up.
And wasted so much £.
Mission Models have just been Absolutely Brilliant. Not
only, has she got a sensible business plan, but she is
accumulating a Stunning Portfolio, from Several photo
shoots that Mission Models have arranged for her.
I attended a photo shoot with KT and had the pleasure of
meeting the management team from Mission Models It was
extremely professional yet Fun which I noticed not only
put KT at ease, but other models too.............the
models looked stunning and so did KT, The studio was
like a James Bond set.
I would thoroughly Recommend Mission Models,
particularly to Anxious mums such as myself, but also
any young model who wants to follow this route as you
have always been honest and up front with your opinions
and are not a cash grabbing agency like some I could
mention.( See the { Sun News Paper on line and Love it
Magazine. Aug 2009 } Thank you, Mission Models and I
look forward to seeing KTs career flourish under your
guidance. And safe hands
Dorothy KT’s mum

Where do I start to say thank you.....you guys are
great, loads of lovely models and great agent. I think
the photographers and make-up artists do a lovely job
working with the models and I love the pictures. I’m
looking forward to working with every one as its now my
time to shine and Mission Models are there to help me.
I’m so happy to be a part of them, like a dream come
true and I’m so grateful that everyone makes you feel so
welcome and I feel so comfortable being with the team.

I’m just sending you this letter to say such a big
thank you. Today I am experiencing probably the most
exciting day of my life so far! I called Mission Models
and sent you my pictures and got accepted!!! I am very
pleased with the whole day! Mission models - namely the
MD - gets things done. Already I have two shoots planned
/ and a casting that you are sending me to which is
extremely exciting and I am hoping Mission Models will
act for me as my managing agent. I did not expect things
to happen so fast, it is amazing, thrilling! I think I
am very lucky to have come across Mission Models and I
hope I experience lots of fun work! Just as I’m getting
from you now.
Thank you very, very much

Dear Mission Models
I would like to say a huge thank you (especially to
there m.d ) for all your time spent helping me. I have
found that your professionalism is something very
special as I have not experienced before with any other
agency. You have taken time to talk, email and meet me
to go through what you have to offer me such as free
shoots with excellent photographers to improve my
portfolio which of course in return will improve my sell
ability.
I look forward to working with you and representing
Mission Models 110%.
Thank you Helen Walker x |

Mission Models knows the industry - I have received
lots of helpful advice from Bob - he knows what the
industry is about and there is no messing around - I
trust his honest advice.
I have been messed around be so many so called model
agents and finally feel happy that I have found an
honest and reliable model agency that have given me a
plan and are sending me as a new model to castings
within a week of being on their books
Thanks for all your help

Dear Robert and the mission models management team.
Just a letter to say thank you guys so much for
everything you have done for me so far, it’s been
amazing that things have moved so fast for me as a
model, without you guys nothing would of happened, the
shoot with Giovanni was so much fun and the photos are
stunning, I love them.
The shoot was on the roof of a 25 story office block
over looking London was wild, I felt like a movie star,
the studio shoot in the barber shop that was just the
best as well.
You guys have just been so good to me I just wanted to
thank you for everything so much.

Hey Robert,
I just want to thank you for all the brilliant advice u
gave me. I seeked a sincere and professional advice and
that is exactly what i received. Before speaking to
Robert from 'Mission Models', I was approached by
scouters offering me a free photo shoot along with
getting my make-up and hair done and all that was
required from me was a payment of 30pound deposit which
was fully refundable on the day. Although this may seem
as the ideal photo shoot, it was and is a fraud as the
pictures given after the photo shoot but must be
purchased. Luckily I had emailed 'Mission Models' and
Robert replied back to me instantly and exemplified how
other models in his agency had been approached in a
similar way, but unfortunately they end up losing money
for 'paid cheap quality pictures'. 'Mission Models' are
the real deal their team is caring, friendly and genuine
people and truly give you the professional advice you
seek. I cannot stop thanking Robert and 'Mission Models'
for all the great help and advice i received and most
importantly informing the true nature of scouters from
fraud agency's. Thank you so much and I look forward to
working with Robert and his team.
Sincerely,
Fatma A |

As a new girl trying to start a modelling career – I
was easily fooled by some dodgy people! I write in hope
that people will read and hopefully save them from doing
the same thing..
I applied on the internet to some agencies – attaching
some normal pictures of myself.. I received two phone
calls – one from an agent called xxxxxx models and the
other from xxxxx xxxxx Saying they think I have what it
takes and to come in and do a portfolio. I got really
excited and paid the deposit 1) xxxxxx – £150 pound , 2)
>xxxxx xxxxx – £50 pound.
I went to my photo shoot with xxxxxx , to not only have
the worst pictures taken ( I was even to embarrassed to
show my family when I got home ) it cost me £400 pound.
For a Disc of ( crap pictures ), none of them retouched
– nothing – no professional photography at all.. Yes it
sounds stupid that I could just pay the money for
something I was not happy with. But I was put into a
room with 3 males, convincing me, I will get work with
so many agencies.. I was new to the whole industry, was
feeling pressured and intimidated by 3 males – so I
handed over my debit card! They then to tell me that
xxxxx xxxxx was a joke and will rip me off and the
pictures they have given me were amazing and I looked
great. I thought these guys were professionals so I
believed them, thinking they were seeing something I
wasn’t – thinking they knew what to look for in a
model.( i found out much later that this company was in
the sun news paper under a heading ( rip of modelling
agents ) o.m.g The next day I called to cancel my
appointment with xxxxx xxxxx . They told me that I could
not give my money back>( £50 ) because they had already
booked my photographer and makeup artist ( when I had
called A MONTH before the date we had scheduled for the
shoot to take place ) – I told them surely they could
get someone in and return my money! They didn’t want to
listen to me. So for a company that’s called xxxxx xxxxx
, they gave me none and took my money!. so took money
from me and gave me nothing back at all.
I have now been lucky enough to have the wonderful help
of Bob at Mission Models!! I already feel like I have
someone looking out for me! I joined Mission Models
today and I already had work offered to me!!( paid
booking ) Unbelievable! I feel secure with mission

I had booked a shoot with Bob to boost my portfolio
for the Mission Models agency website. Having been on
many 'makeover' studio days and worked in studio
environments before I was pleasantly surprised that I
had such fantastic and professional people to work with.
My hairstylist was amazing and I was so impressed I even
took some photos on my phone of my beautiful Brigitte
Bardot curls he bestowed upon me! Make up was flawless,
it’s a shame it was a Sunday, I would of gone out and
partied if it was a Saturday!
Feeling and looking great I was more than prepared to
get in front of the camera.
Bob and Giovanni came up with some brilliant ideas for
my images, they had a wonderful box of tricks that I
couldn’t keep away from and the creative vibe in the
studio made for a productive and very enjoyable shoot.
Looking forward to the next one...from the photos I’ve
got through mission models, I’ve got a paid booking for
new designer Yulia Polishchuck at Whiskey Mist
nightclub... It’s the 2nd part of a Russian themed
evening they are holding there. Plus I have a commercial
shoot for a company called HSpin on Wednesday, I am
going to be the face of a Yoyo company. Both sourced
through mission models ...you guys are amazing

Hi Mission Models
We are happy to confirm Germany
We do realize that the experience is a amazing one to
get as a booking as well as being paid to carry it out.
You are the best thing that happened to us since we
started the modelling, a great future working with
Mission Models.

I’d had been feel ripped off so much at shoots in
the past, with false hope of modelling work, and paying
loads out for 3rd rate shoots and make over studios in
the past, All that Stopped when I Met Mission Models, I
had a shoot with mission models who made me feel at home
and they were so helpful it was unbelievable.
It was the most amazing experience I have ever endured
in my life. (unlike the sxxx I had done before at Dxxxx
Mxxxx at the bxxxxx xxxxx STUDIOS, I had from Mission
Models so much of a real shoot with pros, two brilliant
make up artists working on your face, an amazing hair
stylist and some of the best photographers in London all
working together to make sure you look perfect for your
shoot.
And of course bob giving you tips and advice.
I now have a plan and amazing photos, the future is
brilliant guys, and the agency
Thank you so much

Hello Bob,
I do not know where to start. I wish I had come to
Mission Models first, unfortunately I am one of those
girls who forked out to scam artists not once but twice
(Bxxxx Rxxxx and Mxxxxx Cxxxxxx (who were actually
worse) a whopping £1400 in total for crappy photos that
have got me no were.
Then I can to Mission Models, the photographer team,
hair and make up artists were so inspired and full of
ideas, easy to talk to and communicate with. Initially,
I didn't believe you Bob when you said I'd have fun!!
I have had before make up artists not knowing what to do
with my black skin or my afro hair (which is incredibly
thick) so I was delighted with the turnout. The
photographer was amazing, absolutely lost for words;
I had no idea what to do with my body but with his
encouragement and ideas I was comfortable and in my
element within minutes and just doing my own thing. It
was so enjoyable. Not to mention Bob himself, full of
energy, creating fantastic vibes and looking out for all
of our best interests. I was even told that I have a job
next week which I cannot wait for! Now I know I
definitely want to model, the previous bad experiences
tainted my prospects greatly. When I got the call
everything was professional, I was actually given
direction which I hadn't had at all in my attempts in
the (past 3 years) and just the encouragement I needed.
I know who I’d prefer to pay £1400 but I DIDN'T, Mission
Models offer is overwhelmingly cheaper, to think of the
difference in quality, there is no competition.
If you are a new model trust me on this, I feel I must
repay you all in some way, I almost feel guilty for
having so much day AND NOW I'M BEING BOOKED FOR PAID
BOOKINGS FOR MODELLING
I could literally go on forever but I should probably
stop now!
Thank You so much,
Natalie |

To the discerning model who is searching for an
honest, reliable and
Accurate opinion, your search is over. Mission Models
are truly dedicated to helping professional and beginner
models a like achieve the highest standard of quality. I
recently had my pictures taken (Feb 09) and being an
Accountant I knew nothing about modelling but what a
fantastic experience! I would truly Recommend this
agency to anyone. PS: I would like to say a BIG THANKS
to the photographers, makeup/hairstylist and especially
Bob who all helped make my day special.

Hi there Bob and all the models booked Sunday.
Thank you all for making Sunday a sure winner. I am sure
that I am not jumping the gun by saying that.
At myhairdressers.com we do sexy hair.
We have a fantastic relationship with Bob and all at
Mission Models.
Thank you for everything

The photo shoot I had today was just amazing that’s
the only word to describe it! The whole team is just
phenomenal, Bob is a total legend and makes you really
relaxed and the Hair & Makeup lady is really talented
and makes you look and feel a million dollars. I cannot
wait to see my photos as I did such a huge range of
posing in that fantastic studio. The Photographers were
fab and really get the best out of the looks that you
are going for.
Thanks guys.

Hi Bob,
We had a great shoot and the footage is looking
fantastic for the band.
All three girls (Alex, Amy, Rossie) were a pleasure to
work with and we couldn't have asked for more from them.
They were a real asset to your company.
Hopefully I will be in touch very soon with another
shoot.
Best wishes,
Phoebe

Hi my name is Misha
Being very interested in breaking into modelling I typed
in "modelling agencies" into the Google website. The
first link that came up highlighted at the top of the
page "Dxxxxx Mxxxxx - {Kick star your modelling career
today!} NEVER CLICK THIS! - (I did). I registered and
sent in a photo of myself and a few days after received
a call saying I was very lucky to have been "SELECTED
OUT OF 2000 APPLICANTS" to have a "complimentary" photo
shoot. The shoot was apparently all paid for all I had
to do was turn up. What a load of Rubbish. Remember
THERES NO SUCH THING AS A FREE LUNCH. What came next was
"all you need to do is pay a £50 deposit so we know you
will definitely attend as we have to book the studio". I
ACTUALLY was pulled into PAYING a £50 deposit which I
was assured would be refunded provided I attended the
shoot. This was also a load of rubbish I FOUND LATER. So
I attended on time and had the shoot, little did I know
I would be MADE TO PAY £400- even if the photos were
bad. When explaining that I was never told I would have
to pay this much and that I was told it was optional to
buy the photos they persisted that it wasn’t and said
that as the letter states 'portfolio' I have to purchase
at least 8 photos - no negotiation. The man ( AT THE
SHOOT )was very rude when the issue of paying arose
however he will try to brainwash you into thinking the
pictures are amazing when he shows you them and insists
that you will get signed instantly. ALMOST NO DECENT
AGENCY WILL SIGN YOU WITH XXX XXXXX PHOTOGRAPHS. {I also
found out later that the studio was in the sun news
paper under rip of modelling agents) I wanted to die!!!!
They also promise help finding you an agency - all they
give you is an online list of ONE London agency I cannot
urge you enough to stay away from xxxx xxxx and similar
websites such as xxxxxx s xxxxxxxt. They will try to win
you over on the phone and at the studio making it seem
like you have the "X factor" but it’s all a trick. STAY
AWAY!
Instead, the best thing to do is to ring a well known
respected agency such as Storm or Mission Models for
some honest advice. After having these photographs taken
I rang Mission Models to ask for some advice and spoke
to their team who was lovely and completely honest with
me. They explained how things work. £400 for a 40 minute
shoot - £10 a minute?! At xxxx xxxxxxxxx that’s crazy.
Mission Models was kind enough to give me help and
advise me on how to move forward after this big mistake
of xxxxxx xxxxxxx. I feel much safer with Mission Models
and feel as though someone is looking out for me now!
Thanks Mission! and please, learn from my mistakes!
If you want to be a Model see Mission Models first, I
didn’t and I regret it.

I booked a shot with Mission Models, First of all
the studio was breathtakingly beautiful, as if it had
literally been taken out of a magazine. The whole
Mission Models team were so kind to me and made me feel
relaxed .
I had such a great time watching the shoots and talking
with the models and staff. It was amazing and I loved
the experience. It gave me a real insight into how
successful such a sector of the modelling industry could
be. The styling of the girls and their makeup made such
a transformation! I understand now how Mission Models
Doesn't Hire Models but "MAKES" them!

Dear Robert,( Mission Models Management )
It's Adam (the Marine Biologist) I'm writing you to say
thank you for giving Natasha such a lovely experience,
at her pro photo shoot. Her mood has brightened so much
since the photo shoot and for that I am now writing this
message. You have given her hope for a better future and
the determination to pursue modelling as a career...
This is what she has needed for a long time, for someone
to tell her she can achieve her goals and that the
future is indeed bright and welcoming.
So I will leave on that note, sending you my gratitude
for brightening Tasha's life, even if it was only for a
couple of weeks it certainly has done her the world of
good
Thank you again, it was a great pleasure meeting you (at
the shoot).
Hope you are well, and maybe one day our paths will
cross again
Yours Sincerely
Adam Smithson a.k.a The Marine Biologist. |

Just want to thank you so much the shoot you
arranged for me with! I had an absolutely fantastic
time! Everyone was so nice and made me feel really
comfortable as soon as I stepped into the studio (which
was beautiful!) My hair and makeup looked fantastic and
I was blown away by Giovanni and his team, how dedicated
and passionate they are about creating the perfect
picture!
The whole day was brilliant and I'm so grateful to you
for setting this up for me.
I also want to thank you for the second shoot you set up
for me through your contacts in the industry with Brian
B, to start building up my book. The shoot was
absolutely cool and free and again was such a fantastic
day and I have received beautiful photos from both
shoots and I am extremely happy so, again.... Thank you
so much Mission Models and I look forward to what the
future will bring!

I would just like to take this opportunity to thank
Mission Models for everything they have done for me
since I began working with them. After a disastrous
makeover shoot for which I was greatly over-charged I
contacted Mission Models to seek their help to further
my modelling career. Since joining Mission Models they
have arranged various photo shoots for me with
well-respected photographers which I greatly enjoyed.
The shoots have allowed me to develop my portfolio with
a diverse range of pictures which I received promptly
and at no charge (test shoots). I feel securely managed
by Mission as it is such a friendly and trustworthy
agency. I would just like to say thank you so much to
everyone at Mission as since joining you I have had
enjoyed many wonderful opportunities which I would
otherwise never have had.

Dear Mission Models,
I just want to thank you in abundance for being such a
helpful and supportive agency as I go on my journey of
becoming a successful model. Bob, your advice and
passion have been second to none. I have NEVER come
across an agency that has my best interest at heart and
isn’t in the business of only making money for
themselves. Unfortunately, there are too many so-called
modelling agencies ripping off aspiring models by asking
them to pay obscene amounts of money for sub standard
photo shoots. However, I am glad to say Mission Models
is not one of them.
Furthermore I also want to thank you for getting me a
paid job with an innovative and noted photographer
within 3 days of me even making contact with the agency.
To say I am highly impressed by this is an
understatement.
I am extremely excited about my future with Mission
Models... Keep up the good work!!!
Kindest Regards

I would like to just say a huge thank you to the
photographers, hair and makeup artists, and { Mission
Models Team } in particular as I wouldn’t have had the
opportunity without him.{ at my first shoot } I had a
brilliant day and was such an amazing experience and
enjoyed everything that I took part in. I found that
everyone was highly professional but was still able to
make you feel relaxed and the setting and atmosphere was
so friendly. The photographers were so much fun to work
with and made me feel comfortable in front of the camera
helping on poses that worked best for me. The hair and
makeup artists were brilliant as they knew what would
suit me for the style and theme that I was going with.
Bob was a star, his advice is definitely spot on and has
helped immensely, I have received more support and
knowledge than I have from any other agency and has been
so helpful.
Once again thank you to the Mission Models Team! You
were all great! I had such a fabulous time and truly
appreciate all the time and effort that you all put in
to my shoot.
Many Thanks

Thanks to Mission Models who support, expertise and
advice not only gave me my first booking for MTV but
also their time and managerial expertises.
I have been hired by several leading agencies as well,
without your support and time which is valuable to me, I
would not have had any of these opportunities. I have
recently attended a casting for VOGUE, and a casting for
Orange,
Regards
Charlotte Kirk |

Not 100% sure if I will be able to make it with
Elena, (casting) but if I do I can’t wait to see the
result. Thanks again for all the help you have given me,
I Don’t forget that I wouldn’t be where I am at now (as
a model) if it wasn’t for you! (Mission Models)

Hi Bob, it was a pleasure and a breath of fresh air
speaking with you today I've never received so much
support and advice from an agent before. I admire your
passion and your professional approach in the industry.
I wished we had met you before and a busy
Managing Director of one of the best agencies in the
industry you gave me the time of day you’re not only
constructive and helpful, but also a great person to
talk to and trusted your advice.
Thank you again for your time today
Regards
