Here at Independent Modeling, our motto and number one career rule is to CLARIFY AND VERIFY. Talk is cheap, and if you invest in the words of others and extend them your trust before they have earned it, you may pay a hefty price. Some models pay with their careers and ruin their reputations and their lives! You need to CLARIFY the intentions of others and VERIFY all of their references every time before you work with them for the first time. It is very important for you to know who you are dealing with. The modeling industry is full of people who lie, cheat, and steal in order to work in the industry for whatever shady motives that they have. It is up to you not to be a victim! Independent Modeling has developed a variety of resources and tools to help you protect your career.

The agency way is no longer the only way of having a professional career as a model. There is no arguing against common-sense and proven business practices. Modern professional models think for themselves, network, and book work both as independent models and by using agencies as one of many sources of jobs. This is the future of the modeling industry.
