ModelMayhemReviews 148

Mi sono iscritta mesi fa a questo sito come modella, e a dire il vero non mi è servito proprio a nulla se non a perderci tempo. Praticamente arrivano tantissime richieste di amicizia, di gente a caso che poi spamma e non propone offerte valide per modelle. La stragrande maggioranza delle foto che ho postato è stata segnalata dal sito come "mature" (?), e intendo pure normalissime foto in bikini che ho già postato su Instagram e altri siti senza problemi. Queste foto vengono poi nascoste o oscurate. Inoltre inviano tantissime mail spam per cercare di far abbonare gli iscritti al sito e fargli spendere soldi. Io non ho abboccato e incredibilmente, forse per ripicca, mi hanno chiuso l'account senza nemmeno avvisarmi o fornirmi spiegazioni in merito!

Model Mayhem is great! I've worked with it for years and have made lots of side gig money. Be wary of photographers trying to get free nude work. And minors should be supervised I think. But it's fun and can be profitable.

Model Mayhem already has issues with old creeps asking girls to do more than they agreed to. But I am a woman who used the site for a brief period of time and realized something else that marks this company down. They also EMPLOY these old creeps to shut down accounts with the dumbest excuses you that you need to sign up again and pay them more. Not safe to use for modeling, and not safe for your business either. Waste of time and money.

Model Mayhem is a fraud. They claim to have over one million members. FALSE! They may have that many accounts, but many have not been active in over 8 to 10 years. When this is called to their attention, you are told that searches can be adjusted to any date of last activity. That does not change the fact that most of their membership accounts are dead links to models & photographers. Avoid this site unless you just want to waste your time.

I Give a Minus Zero off the scale! I have been a photographer for over 30 years in film with models got awards for some images as was rejected as a Professional Photographer! No $#*! I am a Freelance like some of the models who take there own Cell Phone images for there site? I finally got enough digital model images to get a Real Site if you want to call it that not ONE DAM model has excepted a session why I want TFP and they all want Big $$$ for their work of a few years! I have experience and a degree in graphic design took college photography classes know how to light a subject, but that has nothing to do with this terrible site will take my site down soon and look into my own website, or another site! MM is bogus plus you have to pay for your level as a photographer and models do not?

I had an account since 2016 and it was closed for no reason. I don't log in everyday but checked for messages at least once a month. They closed my account and refuse to open it without giving me a reason. I tried several times to contact them but they didn't respond. STAY AWAY FROM THIS SITE!

In the middle of conducting business, and my site was "closed" with no access to previous contacts or deals that were in negotiation. No reply from them since the matter and no way to recover any of that data.

Worst site ever... full of fake profiles, prostitution and homosexual paedophiles.
There was also an Islamic model who already did naked photos, so if you asked her to shoot nudes, she got angry because her religion didn't allow it... hilarious

I wish I could give ModelMayhem a zero.
I know that there are photographers on this site who take photos of valuable people who trust to quickly and the photographer is in no way to be trusted with the models safety and have the wrong motives for a photography shoot. To all the models and parents out there accompany your family member doing these photography shoots and put your guard up.

The Biggest Failure. Internet Brand who owns Model Mayhem produces a Major Lie when you sign up for MM. It looks like there are thousands of Models, when in fact there is only a handful Current Models on MM. MM counts every account as CURRENT. Making it seem like there are Thousands and Thousands of Models…when there is no one. Old inactive accounts, Models who have not logged on in years …are all counted as CURRENT. So you see Internet Brands makes more Funds by Lying to Advertisers. Millions, but there is no one on MM. MM is run'd by Managers who are Failures. Stay very clear from Model Mayhem.

I was a member from the very beginning of Model Mayhem. Since it then over the past 10+ years it has gotten worse and worse. It's run by individual photographers who moderate who gets to use the site and who does not. They eliminate almost all new photographers unless they are buddies. My account has been closed and trying to sign up again is impossible. They claim to be protecting models from those who shoot nude content (unless it's them who is doing the photography of course). It's not a good place for models or photographers anymore.

This website is using a picture of a half naked woman (not me) put under my FULL legal name to lure people to my profile and does NOT have a valid phone number or working online portal to contact any customer service. Other I have seen online having issues with connecting with agency. I tried switching my login email/password numerous times to delete my account to have zero ties with this terrible company but it does not let me login in after years of me being inactive on their system however my account is STILL there with photos of other naked women attached to my name.

Stay away from Model Mayhem

This is the worst site to find Models. It's a horrible site period. Every month my account is downgraded for no reason. I have to go back in and reset up. They delete most of my photos each month when they do this. The site is so stupid when I try to send email to the help department it tells me my email on my account is invalid. Any email I try is invalid. The Models are very unreliable and slow to respond. In one 2 month period I had 3 no shows even though I had paid one. I ate over $800 in Studios that were wasted because of this.

So I never really had an issue with the staff until I did. I notice a lot of complaints about Model Mayhem Mods and I can attest that it is very real.
Once you get on their radar it's over. I was a long time customer and have made many good friends via MM.
I got banned for this.
When I tried to ask why they accused me of having a fake account. I never had a fake account.
They are dishonest and manipulators.

I guess I got lucky on the site till now. I reported a photographer for stealing photos after agreeing to doing TFP (time for portfolio. Essentially a trade, time and receiving the work you had done with the photographer. Keep in mind you have to trust this person once walking away from a photoshoot) the moderator of the site removed my experience I shared letting future models know what they can potentially experience, if choosing to work with this photographer. It was their priority to maintain the sites appeal over protecting users on their website. Untrustworthy to say the least to condone and defend this behavior with a user on their site by not letting me share my experience and give me warnings for sharing. Aside from that I did X rated personal photos for him as well and never saw a single photo clothed or not. (this was not my reason for writing this review. I chose to take additional photos cause I blindly trusted this person for marking himself as a professional) I will never trust or use this site again. I don't know who else they are allowing to use their site if this is what I'm seeing with my own eyes. They have been replaced with Instagram and other open, more safe medias anyways. I recommend using any site over this one. Dave Viet Photography located in San Diego was responsible for not returning my photos after strictly agreeing upon TFP. Stay safe models & photographers!

Basically other folks have said it all I'm just agreeing with them. The moderators turned hostile and wouldn't discuss anything. They cancelled my account without warning because I had a picture of a camera to let models know what I use.

When Model Mayhem gets any aledged complaint from any one they will close your account without notice. You will get no opportunity to learn the details of the complaint and no opportunity to address the complaint. If you are already on model mayhem back up all contacts now. I research after the fact and found Model Mayhem has a F rating with the better business bureau. Save your reputations do not recommend a friend to Model Mayhem

The majority of the photographers listed have amateurish photos at best. I signed on as a model to do some unique projects with established, creative photographers, and so far i haven't found anyone even close to what i want. I had better luck cruising instagram. Nearly every job offered to me had no pay or some kind of weirdness to it, or both. I'm on the verge of deleting my profile; i've kept it because its a quick reference tool for when i want to show someone something i've worked on.

As with ANYTHING, buyer beware...

I've used the free level of Model Mayhem since 2011 as a model... it has served me well... the vast majority of people I've met and worked with through the site have been really cool people, just there for the business of art and modeling... sure, there are creeps... hello, a certain proportion of the entire human population are creeps... be honest and direct, set your boundaries and stick to them, say so when something bugs you, meet in person for coffee first before shooting, and if ANYTHING feels the least bit off, LEAVE... bring ID to prove your age, and if you're under 21, DO NOT GO ALONE! And, for f*cks sake, don't do anything to impair your ability to advocate for yourself! Myself, I choose not to drink during a shoot, and I choose not to engage in anything that restricts my physical movement, or my ability to speak, with anyone I haven't known for a really loooong time... exercise prudent caution!

Model Mayhem is not an agency, it is not a model management company, and they never claim to be... it is just a networking website... if someone presents themselves as representing Model Mayhem to book you for a gig, do not respond, they're a scam and spoofing them...

Used with candor and appropriate skepticism, this site is excellent!

I will update when I try out the paid levels...
