You can't make it if you're inhibited
This is what one 'modelling agent' told a JC student before lingerie shoot

Anyone can claim to be a professional photographer or a talent scout. And all it takes is an e-mail account and a contact number for someone to post recruitment ads on the Internet.
Searches across popular advertisement websites and even Facebook in the past week easily tossed up about 50 such ads.
The lines vary slightly but some were explicit in what was required of the applicants: "Willing to pose in artistic nude shoots (sic)" or "must wear sexy lingerie/underwear".
Most listed age requirements as between 18 and 23.
If these are bogus advertisers, they may lure young, impressionable and aspiring models, like junior college student Jasmine T, 18.
Responding to a Facebook ad seeking part-time models for overseas assignments last August led her to meet a man who introduced himself as a Singapore-based agent for two lingerie brands.
On a photoshoot with him, she was asked to wear "very revealing" lingerie. Even though she later changed her mind and asked for her photos to be returned, they later turned up on a social escort website.

We slept with him as part of our training
Victims of bogus photographer had sex with him to get more modelling jobs

When they saw the online advertisement for part-time models, the young wannabes felt it was their way into the glamorous world of runways and fashion shoots.
Add to that the prospects of earning up to $700 for each assignment, and it was too much for Sara and Karen to resist.
What the young women didn't realise was that the "modelling agency owner" who auditioned them was a fake.
By the time he was exposed, they had not only posed nude for him, but also had sex with him based on the promise of more jobs.
Last month the bogus modelling agency owner, Tan Eng Hwa, 35, was jailed four years on charges including cheating and criminal intimidation.
