| Francois Vision Francois Legagneur Fake Industry Professional Preying on Models Queens, NYC, Internet |

| Francois Vision, Francois Legagneur, whatever his name is, is a fake photographer in NYC that will convince you that he has industry connections when he really doesn't. All of his lies are used to see how far you'll go to be a model. He will ask you to take your clothes off so he could see your body and lies and says that it is only to give you critique on what imperfections you need to work on. Bullcrap! He is a pervert! When shooting with him, he touches you very inappropiraitely (literally gropes your a** and inner thighs). He doesn't have a good camera and does NOT EDIT ANY OF YOUR PHOTOS!! My pictures came out looking very blurry and amateur-like. He doesn't even have a place to live!! He asks you to meet him at some girl's house in Queens and says that it's his office when you can clearly see girl clothes and shoes all around the place. Every now and then, a black girl would come in and out of the place with groceries but is really discrete. I actually think that the money he charges you for the shoot is to pay whoever the girls is for his part of the rent. I might be wrong about this particular inference but I'm 100% certain that his "business" is non legitimate. And come to think of it, I remember the MUA that he uses getting frustrated and asking him "when are you going to pay me? I have yet to see my money". Also, he looked for my business on Model Mayhem, I didn't look for him. That shows you how desperate he is for money. I've learned my lesson. Recently, he has changed his name, picture, and contact information on Facebook so that no one can tell who he is. Right now his name is Supreem Primo (Jason) and before it has been Yun Tuk and King Hatchouprite (Lolly Francois). His current phone number on Facebook is two,one,two,two,seven,nine,two,nine,three,nine (I had to spell it because I wasn't sure if it would be removed). The address he is using is also a fake address he uses to make you believe his "business" is in Manhattan. The real legitimate phone numbers I had before are posted under "phone numbers" in this posting. I'm not sure if he's changed them now but those were the numbers given to me. Stay safe and ALWAYS google someone before working with them!!!! |

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.
