Eclipse Model Management Reviews 384

It was a good experience.

I would like to thank the team at eclipse management for being so professional and understanding. A bit shoutout to the photographer who took my photos today as she was being very helpful

Do not join this scam agency.
Those people have a chip on their shoulder and it's evident from all their responses as they try to defend their name.
They request a refundable deposit which doesn't get refunded (they will say they have evidence of this on their website... anyone can create a few screenshot images of transactions to post on a website. I could do that with my grocery transactions...be smart.)
These people will influence you, take a few airbrushes photos of you and ask you to pay large sums of money because that's the best way you'll progress as a model with them even though work is not assured. Please don't bother responding to this because I see you.
You tell models you'll take videos of them and instead just take them around the block of your building on a nice sunny day to shove a camera in their face and tell them to pose like puppets while you use snapchat filters on their faces in your instagram posts. Like I said, don't even respond to this because I know you guys and see you all the time.
Your instagram page is worse than a child's and your website is just full of images off the net
You have no shame, no decency and no transparency between you and your clients and I honestly, it's nothing short of embarrassing and I feel sorry for all the people who have faced issues with this 'business' and not to even talk of their claim of being 'government regulated' never have I seen a modelling agency harping on about how regulated they are if not to draw attention away from themselves.

I had the most amazing experience with my shoots, everyone is extremely friendly and supportive and made me feel incredibly comfortable and confident within myself

I arrived at the agency for a shoot/interview assessment type appointment. They sent out a confirmation in a lengthy email discussing what the process will be - I read the e-mail thoroughly and it mentions a deposit that is taken, known as the refundable security deposit (RSD) See quote from the email:

"The deposit starts from just a hundred Pounds [depending on what model board you are eligible for if accepted]. You will easily make it back from your first job and is included in the legally binding model contract you will be offered upon acceptance onto the model books. If, of course, you do not pass the interview, nothing will be taken."

As you can see, the last line lead me to believe that this will be discussed AFTER finding out the outcome of the interview.

I went in for my assessment, they took a few pictures of me, I then waited for a bit before I was seen by another gentleman, who said that the interview would be done by someone else if I'm happy to pay the deposit now.

I wasn't comfortable paying a deposit before doing an interview, and he said that it would be returned the same day if I wasn't accepted, which didn't make sense to me at all - the email doesn't say anything about that

When I told him that I wasn't comfortable doing that he then said "then I am not allowed to interview you"

??????

So I left without seeing or taking any of the pictures (also doesn't make sense if they offer the pictures for free without passing the interview, why would you want to take a deposit just to return it, and what difference does it make giving me the pictures whether I pay a refundable deposit or not either way you are saying I'd get it back)

Something about it just didn't seem right, and beyond the money, it didn't feel very transparent, especially when the e-mail itself was very detailed

I mentioned it to him as I was leaving just as feedback, and he said that they don't put everything in the emails because most people don't read everything

??? I beg your pardon? What kind of answer is that?

LOL I had to laugh to myself - in the same email they send out they talk about the importance of always reading emails - and now he's saying they didn't put it in because people don't read them? In the same "pre interview" (if I can call it that) he asked me if I read the email - and asked if I was sure...... doesn't make sense to me and it didn't smell right

This isn't to say they are a fake agency or not I have no idea, I don't know the experiences that other people have had, but I'd just like to heed a warning so you know beforehand what to expect, as I felt a little bit misled

Hello my name is Nicole, Had an interesting experience, they took my picture and then ask me some questions, then I did a practice walk from them and I got except for their modelling company, but what I will say is that they are not as legit, I feel like they ask a lot of money in advance and any company should not do that if they’re not trying to scam you, and they still did not give me the photos that they promote in they’re advertisements. So overall it was interesting, hope this helps <3

I like how they treated,they were very friendly.

Shannon made the cat walk simless. time well spent, looking forward to the next one. keep up the good work lady S, you are a star.

Eclipse offered me the best experience ever. And showed that they are always looking for jobs that suit me. I’ve done a Catwalk and a photoshoot thanks to eclipse. Love to work with them.

My friend had a lovely experience at Eclipse! The photographer was friendly, made her feel comfortable, and guided her through every step of the process. Eclipse was transparent about the deposit requirement to move forward, which initially raised some concerns for us since it’s uncommon for models to pay when partnering with an agency, even if it’s government-regulated. However, we were reassured by their clear communication and professionalism. She’s now looking forward to receiving the images!

I was a bit worried about finding the location but staff were on hand to assist me via phone. They even welcomed me as I approached and as I entered I was warmly greeted. My photographer was a treasure and made me feel at ease straight away. I was then interviewed and we spoke openly and honestly about what was required. The whole experience boosted my confidence and as an older person made my day and strengthened my resolve to go further down this path

really sweet people and the place was fab

immediately when i arrived they asked me to sign the contract and pay the £100 (+) deposit, this was before i even spoke to the person who was going to make the decision if i got in or not, or get to find out about the type of work they are offering etc. - i thought this was a bit of a red flag so i decided not to sign the contract today - however i did have a free shoot

in terms of the shoot itself, it was well done and the images are free - so if you’re wanting some free good quality images u recommend - although, they have asked me to write this review so that i am able to receive my images, so i don’t know how prompt this process actually is and haven’t yet received them.

My experience at eclipse modelling agency went very well . I was given assistance, guidance and advice by staff and staff were very patient. They made me feel very comfortable which helped my confidence for my interview.

The experience was straightforward and insightful and every individual I encountered were friendly. Thanks for your time.

At eclipse the staff are helpful and friendly. clean inside and easier to find than i thought it would be. I did a few photoshoots and i was very impressed with the photographer. overall good experience.

Great staff and been treated very well. Miriam the photographer does great pictures

Considering I had never done something like this before, it went really well!! The staff at Ecplise made me feel at ease and everything went so smoothly I genuinely enjoyed my time there. They were also really thorough and clear with their words and I really appreciate that!!

I had a great experience with the team and everyone was a pleasure to meet. Very professional and helpful individuals on the team with a lovely photographer that made me feel super confident infront of the camera
