BIG SCAM!!!!!! AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!! Sophia models ask you to email them a few pictures of yourself and they select people based on that. When you come in to meet with them, they will tell you that you're exactly what the agency is looking for BUT you need to get professional photos done for almost $500 AND it has to be done ONLY with their photographer. To keep the photos on their website, they charge you over $300 a year. They charge their own clients who make money for them to keep their pictures on their website!!! Anyway, after you do the "professional" photo session they tell you that based on the pics, you're not what they're looking for. outfit selection for this "photo session" is done in their creepy basement and the stylist is not even a stylist but one of the agency's models who they have asked to do the job. make up is done in the kitchen that doesn't even have proper lights. they don't even have a proper studio or proper backdrop. The only backdrop is in the garage with a white piece of paper. While they do have some of their own models, they scam everyone else and that's the only way for them to make money. If you want to be ripped off, apply to this agency. Otherwise, you'll be better off going to some place else. They may try to convince you otherwise or even reply to this review, but seriously, don't fall for it. They're not even a registered agency with ACTRA. read more
