Wonder how much work models get from MM photographers, when they already are represented by several agencies
and been published worldwide.

Unless it's an actual real magazine that you can buy in the magazine department of your local grocery store the "published world wide" magazine's that models get published in are a joke. These magazines will "publish" anyone that submits to them in the hopes that all those involved in the making of the photo will buy the ridiculously overpriced magazine. I'm sorry if I offend anyone with this comment, but quite honestly those magazines are an embarrassment and I actually laugh when a model states that she is "published" in one of them. Full disclosure...I also thought it was pretty cool when I first stated out to be "published" but that was when I was 16, now I run in the other direction if someone wants to do a "published" shoot with me. I've probably been "published" 30 times, but I have never actually been truly published in a magazine.

Even main stream magazines do shady things. They'll say they would a story on you, but then you have to buy ad space from them. This happens a lot.
