She says, "Travel more than 50 miles must be compensated."

Now, she's the one who lives in BFE. Shouldn't she be the one forking out the dough? I can understand models that live in larger cities demanding travel compensation. But if you live in BFE and you want to model, you should be willing to pay your own accomodations.

Models in small towns: You really don't have a pot to piss in.

Actually, it's Yankton, South Dakota. Not sure where the mix up is, but if that person is claiming that town is in ND, they are misrepresenting. I use to live in SD (not much going on there) and know exactly where Yankton is. Maybe that person has been watching too much of Americ'as Next Top Model and thinks they can command travel compensation. Dilusional!!!

Do you have a link to their profile?

No need to link to the profile.(moderator duties)

Just use it a hypothetical.

As in all these cases.

People are free to ask for money or prints or escorts or tear sheets or pictures of boats on the wall.

And the other side is free to negotiate,  say no or pay up.

I ALWAYS provide pictures of boats on the wall, no matter where the model is coming from.

Well it depends on the situation. Some photographers do pay for travel expenses and some don't. Yankton is in South Dakota. I used to live is Sioux Falls, and she is not that far from the twin cities or omaha. She should set up some shoots there to start off with.
