Assets Model Agency experienced

Daughter went to open day and was charged 50 to register. She has since been recommended to pay for a portfolio shoot which they will hold but not necessarily place on their website. Google searches tell me that top tier agencies do not charge for registration and cover photo shoot costs are off generally offset by agency fees. Just wondering if this is a scam to pocket 50 euros from every girl passing through the door. Looking for replies from people with direct experience please. I respectfully ask for clean and reflect answers only. Many thanks
