I’ve heard so much about diesel modelling and would just like a definition of what it is they do and don’t do as I don’t want to get scammed.  Can anyone help?

There is the wrong perception out there that diesel models is a scam and it is mainly for the reason that people make assumptions about what the company is and what it is supposed to do.  The most important thing is that it is a company, not a careers advice bureau and as such it does cost to use their services.  Secondly they are not a modelling agency and by this I mean they do not get you work.  Thirdly, as you can imagine, ‘Diesel’ is a name that is prone to being piggy-backed on by illegitimate companies whose bad trading results in bad publicity for a company completely unrelated to it. What they are is a portfolio company and what they do is provide the opportunity for aspiring models to try out, if u will, infront of the camera in a professional situation and then, if the model so chooses, provide them with a portfolio, for a price, that they can then take to diesels contacts in the industry.  They are basically a stepping stone to the industry and a way to gain experience and a professional portfolio.
