Be mindful, NewIdol Models in London charge from £500-£3000 pounds for a portfolio and Z cards and website - this does not promise you any work - they set themselves up as a support age cut and hence getaway with charging you upfront cots. Chances are they will lure you in for £50 quid refundable deposit - hard sale the photos and how beautiful and natural you are ( I am sure you are) but be careful - suggest leave your credit cards and mobile phone at home and resit relaxation of being signed up on the same day. In my opinion you can get some professional pictures done or take a few hood pictures and post them on site directly with model agency / big companies like ASOS , Superdry etc and that will give you a flavour of what future holds for you - good luck . A lot of scams out there take care

Also check Trust pilot for reviews and feedlot- check company house to see if they are legit ?
