| Wow! I thought that I was being helped by a "well known" photographer that would get me a modeling agency but I was tricked! Francois Vision told me that he would put me in a fashion week show if I continued to stay under his wing. The immediate purpose of meeting was to just get some shots done for my portfolio, which he led me to believe were going to be edited and in top notch quality. This is his hook! He gets you to pay him $300 to shoot and touches you in inappropriate ways but tells you that he's your new "industry friend". It doesn't stop there. He asks to see you naked but makes sure to let you know that he a casts models for shows so he has to see what you look like b/c this industry is tough. His "studio" is indeed at his girlfriend's house in Queens so the other victim's posting is true. The subway stop is Kew Gardens in Queens on the F and E trains. He usually tells you to take the Q46 Bus to Main Street and walk up 2 blocks. I feel so relieved. I wasn't sure if he was fraudulent or not until i started seeing scam postings all over the internet. God has a way of working in mysterious ways to warn me and probably u too. Avoid at all costs! |

I had the pleasure of staying at the model apartment in Queens, NY provided
through Francois Vision of WeKnowTV. The apartment was safe & secured in a
peaceful retirement like community. I never felt unsafe or uncomfortable on any
of my visits. The apartment was fully furnished & also included bathroom
toiletries, cable TV, wifi & Internet access.
Anything I needed advice on in the industry, Francois provided me with. I can
honestly say I have a better outlook & clearer prospective on the fashion
industry as a model, than what I had prior to meeting Francois. When I met with
Francois in January/February 2011, I was frustrated not knowing how to revamp
myself & career as a model and I explained my frustration to him; Coming from
Maryland, a place of "promising opportunities with slim structural foundation
on how to advance & move forward outside of local work. I told him what my
vision was & how determined & willing I am to progress as a household name in the modeling industry as a Runway/Print Model.
Francois told me straight up what I needed to do & how I should go about it.
He's like a personal tutor, on call whenever you need him. Everything from my
image to helping me with my test shoot, to getting me INSIDE at Fashion Week &
watching numerous shows, I can honestly say Francois has followed through on his
word. I've even been backstage & met with designers, viewing their model
lineups, meeting with people who work behind the scenes with designers being
invited to the after parties . I mean up front access most people never have the
opportunity of being familiar with.
Recently, I signed with Flaunt Models in NYC as well as Wilhelmina of PA.
Francois helped shape me into what the industry looks for in black models. I
never had anyone other than one other person, to spend the time into molding me
into industry expectations. He would tell me what size I needed to be, what
look to go for, how to carry myself when meeting with them. Sure you learn this
through modeling school & the web but, very rare do you meet someone who is kind
& generous enough to hold your hand & say, "I will help you, don't worry... You
will make it". He's never crossed the line and touch me in an inappropriate manner or made me feel uncomfortable around him. I have new test shoot images I'm able to use because of him,
references, Fashion Week access, new agency representation, and a friend I can
call.
