Hate them, love them. It doesnt matter. They are upstream from all the producers. Without talent, nothing gets done in this industry.

Not sure how many models you have hired from agencies, but my experience over some 38 years is different. I've had models from agencies 3 hours late ( and the agency gets pissed because I send them back un-used ) I've had girls no show, turn up un-prepared . I've had them turn up with absolutely zero information about the shoot. Ive had them drive to the wrong address even though we supply detailed e-mails / maps and confirmation by phone.
Personally I like working with Derek, Type 9, Gold Star, Foxmodels. But I'm using less and less agency talent and more and more from scouts who know what models I need. I find I have less hassle this way and I get fresh faces before they saturate the market.
