I'm an artist and photographer. I was a paying member for a couple of years and then dropped out of photographing models for a couple years. I'm getting back into it and attempted to rejoin OMP. The single thing that stopped me was their search engine. They changed how to filter data and what's worse, you can't limit the distance from the models to the photographer. Traveling now with COVID makes this shortcoming even worse than it was before. Having to sift through dozens of resumes to find ones that are local is a pain, so I didn't go back on the site.
A week ago I signed up for OMP and uploaded my images and provided my credit card. They said it would take two days to review the profile. Two days later after I saw my profile was not yet reviewed I sent in a customer service ticket and I received the following:
----
We would like to acknowledge that we have received your request and a ticket has been created.
A support representative will be reviewing your request and will send you a personal response.(usually within 24 hours).
Thank you for your patience.
Sincerely,
OMP CS Team

It has now been 10 days and NOTHING. My profile has not been approved and no response to my customer service ticket, but they did charge my credit card.
Stay away - poor service and by taking my money and not providing me the service I paid for - thieves!
This is a non-functional site. I had issues from the day one. I tried $9.99/month subscription. After charging me and setting up the recurring charges I found that my account was deactivated. After emails to support and few days wait I received email that they activated my account. I requested cancelation and refund. Received email confirming cancelation. Refund never happened. Even though I deactivated recurring charges on PayPal, next month they charged me again. I am disputing charges with PayPal now. If they do not refund I will have to close my PayPal account.
At one time One Model Place (OMP) was THE place where models and photographers networked.
It was displaced by Model Mayhem (MM) which was easier to use.
Pity.
The moderators at OMP were reasonable creatures unlike the sub-human pigs at Model Mayhem.
Maybe the site will come back.
But I doubt it.
Total SCAM! Do no use this modeling "service". Customer support is non existence. I've been trying over 3 months to get them to cancel my PayPal and they don't respond.
Just found out that even after receiving a message from them stating my premium membership had been cancelled (August 2016) my bank account is still being charged as of December 10th. Nobody ever answers their phone and email responses are in the form of a ticket. I am reporting them for fraud.
There is nothing that disgusts me more than a site that wants nude, artistic nude, and lingerie models but draws lines on other sexuality. Either be a completely non-sexual site or allow all sexuality. My profile was removed because rope=bondage and I was told to please "google artistic nude photography"
I belonged to this site starting 1999, my number was 6390 in "Photographers", I saw a rapid decline in the business and left 10 years later, I rejoined last year hoping it was better, it was not, I tried to cancel and have been trying with emails and no response, three months later they are still charging my card, the bank is now involved. The phone number is phony and connects you to a number operated out of the UK. STAY AWAY FROM THIS SITE Sincerely Michael, Platinum *******@yahoo.com
Although I give them credit on a site that actually works and looks decent, I have to say that I wasted money on these guys. I didn't receive any 'likes' and was hardly ever viewed by anyone even though my photography is actually good. In fact, I'm very confident that my work is great and that I do quality work. And the photographers that did check out my profile were mainly the ones that don't know how to photograph and do mostly nude photos. The models that contacted me are mostly inexperienced or shouldn't model at all. Its sad because I thought this site was actually going to help get me some exposure. When I called to cancel my account, the young lady sounded really $#*!y. And you would think that any company who is losing a customer would ask why you're canceling or if they could do something to keep you on their service. But there was this cold tone of voice over the phone. No big loss, however, its not a good website at all.
As I had been in a break from photography world, I would like to close my account on their site and stop the recurring billing charges.
I had emailed their customer service to close my account and stop the recurring billing on 11 September 2016. And they did promptly respond to my email and told me that they were sorry to hear that and that they had closed my account as well as stopping the recurring billing charges.
I was surprised when I received my monthly credit card billing. There was still a transaction from One Model Place with the same amount as usual.
I mean what is this? A total scam!
I wrote to them again right away.
And until now they haven't got back to me again.
To all people that are working or love the photography world, my suggestion is to stay away from this website.
