ok so when people ask how much money i have made modeling I don't feel that it is relevant. I know that this may sound corny, but I don't model for the money, I model because I find it fun, and i love the work. At the end of the day, i model for the finished product and not for the benefits that come out of it. Does anyone model or are photographers for the same reason? Or do you just beleive that this isn't possible?

Nearly all of the models I've shot with have chosen modeling as their means of earning a living, meaning they do it both because they enjoy it and to pay the bills.  smile

I, for one, would gladly walk the fanciest fashion show unpaid (or at least a small one that happened to be a little glitzy) simply for the fun of it. Ditto for getting to be in a magazine I really like or a well-known movie.

-and, I second that too. Right now I'm doing it for fun as well as to find out how far I can take things with my new agency and paying jobs.
