Does anyone know anything about Zebra Management?

Question

www.zebramanagement.com

I know there are a couple of other questions on this site relating to this but I am looking for some more opinions, as I have been 'scouted' by them.

basically they are a company who provide an on-line directory of people for clients in the entertainment industry. So, if you are on their books you could potentially get TV/film extra work etc.

They told me they would sign me onto their books and it's free because it is their clients who pay them for allowing access to the site.

they said I should get some pictures done and they would pay for the photographer but I would have to pay for the copyright, which is to ensure that no one uses your picture without paying for it.

are they mugging me off or am I being paranoid?

Does anyone have real experience with these people and can share it with me? Thanks so much.

Answer 1

Have you ever been scouted by Zebra Management, Vanity London or Diesel Models on the street??

If yes, share you experience.

Both of the businesses are NOT an Agency and DO NOT find you any modelling jobs. They just offer you registration and try to persuade to go to the photoshoot for professional pictures, which cost a lot.

Karen Diamond -boss at established agency Models 1, with names such as Yasmin Le Bon, Twiggy and Linda Evangelista on her books - said: "Girls shouldn't have to part with any money to be a model."
