ModelMayhem

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.

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.

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 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.

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!

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.

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.

Moved to this site from onemodelplace - and have hated the move. I posted one nude with full bush and they banned my account - and offered no refund. I had the account less that 3 weeks During my tenure there were member who said terrible things to other photographers and models - very unprofessional site. Too many egos in one place. Stay away from the site because they WILL rip you off. Way overpricd and scammy

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

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!

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

These people are absolutely horrible. They shut down my account and my girlfriends account for no reason at all. They assumed we were breaking a rule and provided no proof at all. ONLY creepy male photographers looking to find women to get naked. Will be reporting them to the BBB and Department of consumer protection!
This is my first negative review of anything ever! That's how bad they are.

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.

He fondled numerous models in Arizona and felt no remorse when confronted. Offered alcohol, Adderol and pot to relax or up the ampage of shoots. He also said since we signed model releases, we could not complain, and would not allow chaperones into studio. Would ONLY shoot with those who would pose nude, as he said you needed to be comfortable "with his style". Peverted old man, MODELS stay away!

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.

Been a paying customer for years to promote my fashion and swimwear photography. They shut down my account without any warning for posting two PG rated implied photos taken from a recent photoshoot. When asked if I could just remove it, they refused to refund or re-activate my account.

Would not recommend this company until they re-train their moderators. Terrible customer service and time is better spent on instagram and facebook where this is more active traffic.

Rady H Hewitt is a felon with a long criminal record, and one with multiple restraining orders against him, this is his way to try causing damage and trying to not get arrested for breaking his LEGAL order. He is a porn produces that lures women, pays them for naked shoots and then molest and rapes them... HE is the true criminal Not Bruce. Don't believe his pathetic lies

Stay far away from this site don't pay them. They are a scam for porn. They human trafficking. Photographers are not photographers they are men looking for prostitution. They don't approve anyone unless your selling your self for sex. I was approached by my old account by someone, so I decided not to use the site for a while. Lost my password and they wouldn't help me. Lost all my log in information. They are not a real site customer service responded to me 4 months after to tell me account not approve for a new. It took them months to response to me. Not a real website. All fake.
Stay away.

That's all this site is. Steer clear and DO NOT let any women you know join. They have these $8 and hour moderators slinging girls for inappropriate things, The most well know is LIz a, she thinks she is a stellar model when in reality she is just a traveling prostitute with no agency experience.

Be very careful, unless you are a Slu. And don't care what happen as long as you get your five bucks. Told by many ladies that tried Model mayhem that the site is infested with rapists. One wrote me that she was drugged and when she wrote about it, evil mayhem deleted her account. Whenever someone write about bad experience you automatically get blocked from site. My self done nothing other than invite models to make videos. They deleted my account saying that is a violation. Really... Stay away from this site and read more more about the owners. Find out more info about them.

I dont knock anyones hustle, to each their own. I thought i was the only one noticing all the escorts and strippers dictating the MM world. They want 100 an hour 3 hour minimum. 350 half day 700 all day. They want all the photos, no logo and most never give credit. Im not a professional, was just trying to learn photography. But with the drama, flakey models and all the photoshop i have to do, not really worth it.

They force you to reduce all the pictures you upload to a miniature pixel level with low memory. Their customer service is rigid and not real bright, not following their own guidelines sometimes. They'll charge you a lot for running casting calls but you can do a lot better with free or other services.

F ModelMayhem, they've been around too long and smell like another Google Facebook Israeli monopoly
