Had a great photo session with HLC. Everyone was very helpful and encouraging. I live in New Mexico and the agency is in Phoenix and they covered my travel expenses to get me there to shoot, great experience!
Have worked with the agency and photographers on a few occasions. Very professional environment, the photographers help teach you how to make the best shoot possible. I highly reccomend any model starting out to come here and learn.
Had a great time shooting with HLC Modeling over the course of my career. Their photographers are a joy to work with, highly recommend any model starting out or experienced to visit and get some amazing work done!
The CEO is a perverted misogynist who doesnt like to share his talent with their significant others. He only hires women who are willing to send him daily nudes without a question, and all of his models are required to congregate in some sort of weird sorority-type manner.Stay away from this guy, he will try to coerce you with the promise of huge success, but he will think he owns you.
He is a predator! My experience was very similar to all the other bad reviews. Almost think all the good reviews were fake profiles made by the predator. Thankfully I never got to meet Harold in person. We did message back and forth for weeks until I finally got tired of his childish, immature, unprofessional, and creepy messages. He would lead girls on and promise big projects with big brands, but have no proof of these projects. The entire team was extremely bad at time management. But that was not nearly as bad as how possessive Harold Colvin would talk to “his girls.” He demands all the girls to send him messages and photos all the time to “stay relevant.” He wanted me to text him more than I text my own boyfriend. Thank god he didn’t ask me for nudes, but he did ask a friend of mine. Which was the last straw. Do not trust this company. Not only are they super unprofessional and give the industry a bad name, but they are manipulative, unfair, and predators. Be careful out there. That is not what the industry is like, that is just how HLC is, horrible. There are many other legit agencies that won’t force your hand at anything or make you feel uncomfortable. Try those. This guy is all lies and harassment.
Working with this agency first getting my photos done was great. After signing and getting more steady work it’s been the best experience of my professional career
Great place to come to get your portfolio done, very professional and easy going. They take care of the girls that represent the agency as well, all and all great experience
Did a few shoots with this company, they really helped me get my portfolio up to date. Great people to be around in the studio, thorough and professional photographers.
I kept my name private in order to avoid retaliation given Im with the company. I fear being blacklisted if I was to give my name. DO NOT trust them! Try to find some one else PLEASE!...Harold Colvin is scum. He is a very good actor. He lures you in with promises then changes his character once he learns what will make you tick to get what he wants. He will only allow you a contract if you please him daily. That means sending him nudes among many other things. Nude videos, suggestive phone calls, or messages always expected from you as a model. Yes the money is good, yes he will give you everything you want if he can, but at what cost? He feels he deserves us because he is giving us our dream come true. If you want your dream to come true, hate yourself and feel disgusting at the same time go ahead. Harold is extremely possessive and demanding. He will not work with any model that will not promise to be his Or give him more. He is a master manipulator. He will not usually ask for these things directly. He will make you say or guess what he wants so that he cant get caught asking or taken to court. You can say no to him, but if you do, do not count on having a contract. He doesnt care at all what talent you have, how committed you are, or easy to work with. If you dont agree to be his sex slave or give what he wants...no contract, no jobs, no paycheck. As soon as you say no to him your time is over here. Very many have left on my time here. He acts like a toddler. If he doesnt get his way he will blame you for everything gone wrong, even if it was his fault. When my contract is up I am taking my experiences and knowledge from here somewhere else and running far far away.
If I could give zero stars, I would. They approached my girlfriend over Instagram and we were so happy, I had been telling her for a good while she could do something like this and the money was going to be a god send. However, her agent Harold was acting like a 4th geader in the sense that he asked her to leave me (weve been together three years now with plans to marry and I have a home for us) and tried to use the contract signing as leverage on her. When she said no he proceeded to give her the run around as far as trying to get signed and had her call off work for a weekend then never contacted her until Monday night only to tell her he was mad that she wouldnt leave me for him. Incredibly unprofessional and childish.
Came here while on vacation and got some photos done for myself and some mother/daughter photos. Had a blast working with their photographers.
Worked hand and hand with this agency for a project with featuring Wrangler apparel. Great personnel, professional environment.
Mr Colvin Is very unprofessional he wants the model to be his and only his he wanted to meet for dinner than go to his place I never met the guy I just wanted to meet for dinner first but no he demands that you text him and send him pictures everyday and I feel like you have to text him all day like I was starting to feel uncomfortable because he wanted me to keep saying Im yours Im all yours
