Thank you for providing the alternatives to onemodelplace.com. I truly understand when you say there is no recourse or appeal process when your profile is suspended. I could go into more details in the future, but I just wanted to log my complaint with your blog. I have had the opportunity to observe this clown (Brett of onemodelplace) in action. His appearance and personality kept me off guard to the unfair and ruthless person he really is. I was a published magazine photographer for many years before I got involved with onemodelplace. I made the mistake of attending cheesy onemodelplace events. All it took was one complaint from a beginner model, for Brett to delete my account at onemodelplace. The one complaint was the angle of my photos. How ridiculous. An amateur model has the nerve to tell a seasoned professional from New York and Paris, how to do photos? onemodelplace models are all cheap dogs, anyway. This is what happens when you work with people below your level. The main issue is that the jealous Brett was looking for an excuse to dump me from the site. He wants all "his models" for himself.

*Note: I do not believe all the models are cheap dogs; as this is lumping all of them into one stereotype. There will be good and bad in every model portfolio site. It just comes with the territory. Same goes with photographers. But they do have to get started and places like onemodel modelmayhem are a vehicles to that end. I wish good luck to all the newbie models. And remember model portfolio sites are just a tool for marketing yourself; you still have to get out and do the leg work. Jobs just don't come to you!

Peace
