"Paul is the best in the industry - training was tough, lots of hard work and many crazy hours - but the knowledge I have gained was worth everything. I would not be doing what I am doing today if it weren't for Paul!" Annemarie Scarpa, Photographer, Face Studios LA

“Working with Paul Fisher at IT Models opened doors that I never thought possible. Paul taught me everything about scouting, developing, negotiating, booking and marketing. If a model was handled by Paul, her career went farther, faster and longer than their peers. Thanks to Paul, I went on to work for NY and LA agencies including Next Model Management and LA Models. My career began 16 years ago with Paul Fisher. What a lucky day for me and the many supermodels he represented.” Stasia Langford

"Paul Fisher, trained me as a booker in the print world and was one of the most ingenious men in the biz... from the look of the girl to getting them started in the industry. I still have him as my mentor and anyone else who has trained under him think highly of all the accomplishments he has done." Mary Joe Geddes, GO Models & Talent

"I have worked with many agents in my time, but no one compares to the perfect skills of Paul Fisher. He is truly an icon in this business, and no one knows the modeling business better than Paul. I have seen him take a girl with 4 polaroids and turn her into a star. I have seen him put a portfolio together like artwork. I have seen him charm clients into booking whomever he tells them too. I have been in the business over 15 years. I have been sought out by all the top agencies in the business, why? Because I am great agent...and because I was trained by Paul Fisher. When ever I tell people that I was started by Paul, they understand that I came from the best school of agents. To this day I remember everything he has taught me. If everyone followed his rules there would be a lot better agents out there. It's a fact...the best agents in the business worked and were trained by Paul Fisher." Suzie Sugerman, Code Management

He has discovered, nurtured and represented some of the biggest names in the modeling industry. I have represented talent for over 20 years and Paul is someone with amazing taste and great integrity. He is a true professional, and someone I am always happy to work with and to call my friend." Neil Stearns, President Venture IAB, A Talent & Marketing Agency

"Paul Fisher is a truly amazing agent. Not only did he take my career to the next level where I was able to do campaigns such as Vassarette, editorial for American Cosmopolitan and working with a fantastic team of people whom I am still friends with to this day. Paul Fisher is an excellent negotiator. He gets the deals done and he is tough when he needs to be and he is still very nice to you as a model and this balance is a very difficult balance to maintain. Paul Fisher maintains this balance with ease. There is no better agent in the business to learn from than Paul Fisher. He is what every model wishes an agent could be like." Virginia Graham

Paul Fisher is a remarkable person and one of the most talented agents in the business. His exceptional humor and strong negotiating skills made working with him both fun and rewarding. Under his agency and management, I modeled in many European editorials of top tier publications such as Italian Vogue and French Elle. Paul is well respected and connected in the industry and I can’t think of anyone better to learn from than him. Pamela Cook

Working with Paul Fisher at the Los Angeles office of It Models, was probably one of the most exciting, and rewarding experiences I have ever had. Paul's determination and eye for the spectacular was incredibly inspiring. I have taken everything I have learned from Paul and applied it not only in business, but personally as well. Strength, nerve, negotiation, and a wicked sense of humor... valuable tools you should never be without. Karma Montagne

During my sixteen-year period representing models, talent, and artists, I had worked with and alongside, many professionals within the industry--specifically other agents. Shortly after my inception into "the business" I was extremely fortunate in having the opportunity to work for Paul Fisher. Truly, I learned more from Paul than I did from all the other agents combined during my tenure in the industry. About Paul Fisher...one of his own greatest talents and skills as an agent, I believe, is not derivative of only what he knows instinctively and by way of experience, but largely due to his unstopping ability to get others interested. Paul is dynamic and he has a "gift" in teaching and inspiring those around him. Many owners of agencies sit behind a big desk behind a closed door acting and falsely appearing important. Paul was always, and I mean always, "hands-on", and "in the mix", of everything...every client (ad agencies, photographers, editors, designers, casting agents, directors, etc.) and every model and talent (new and established, "stars" and potential "stars.") Working for, and with, Paul Fisher was a great and memorable period in my career and life. Following (and during) my years with Paul Fisher, I was pursued countless times by competing agencies. Eventually I went on to work at Wilhemina. I headed the women's division and then served as the Agency Director of Wilhemina's west coast office for nearly a decade. Miya Barrager.

I was fortunate to begin my career in the fashion industry working for Paul Fisher. Paul taught me the ins & outs of talent development, negotiation, branding & marketing. Paul showed me how to think outside of the box, beyond the immediate and how to successfully develop an artist career, not just make them money but how to insure their earning power and position in the industry for years to come. More importantly, Paul helped me to realize my own personal skills and worth; all of which gave me the solid foundation to open my own PR & Marketing Firm. Serene Cicora. President, HSMPR
