It's yet another chip away from what I thought it meant to be a "model." The power differential is simply not surmountable. One lone model is absolutely irrelevant. I can satire it all I want, but it won't change a thing. That's what is really sad. unbearable lightnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16146661740927787207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-192952420577373216.post-26560513634805885512013-02-04T08:57:49.484-08:002013-02-04T08:57:49.484-08:00Thank you for the comment.

I encourage open communication between those involved, even if the communication is very tough. My point is that I am sad to witness it. Nothing more than that.

After all, that often creates "drama."<br /><br />Silence accomplishes nothing except to perpetuate the status quo. We have herds of elephants in all our rooms. But don't mention them or you're creating "drama."<br /><br />On the other hand, disrespect for models has done much to dampen my love for creating nude art and erotica. I more and more admire model Alex B for putting on her clothes, signing with agencies, and getting "legitimate" work. I hope, as someone who likes to photograph fine art nude and erotica, that you realize how much it costs your models. Our choice, yes, inevitable to be dissed by the general public, yes. But why compound that with photographers behaving boorishly?unbearable lightnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16146661740927787207noreply@blogger.com
