San Diego, CA (W&HM) - There seems to be a new breed of modeling business model showing up in shows. It's like a person taking a few models walking around the show place. If people want to take pictures of the models, then the person will ask for a fee for it...
In this case, we cannot say these are promotional models, as they are not promoting anything but themselves to make money...
At the same time, it's a bit unfair to other real promotional models because they work hard with their vendors, following the company and show rules, and maintain themselves to look amazing in photographers' pictures, leaving a feel-good experience.
On the other hand, any photographers who encountered these asking-for-fee-for-photos-and-not-even-have-a-booth practices, would probably be surprised and have a slight bitter taste in the whole experience.
Actually it's not new, but we are just seeing more and more...
Guess the invisible hand is at work, or twiddling thumbs...
