Welcome to A.K.A. Models if you are newer to this Blog Page! I know a lot of different things about models, but my role is like having a "second opinion" that looks at the "Big Picture" in model's lives. I know that models can do much more in their careers for themselves, but often they can encounter obstacles that change or discourage their vision. Never take anything for granted.
In the modeling industry, there is no "one" way to become educated and opinions are so extreme from each angle of the industry of others that deal with models. Everyone has their preference, but when it comes to some basic ethical, fair, and legal standards...models are entitled to more than what the industry has just "always" done.
That's not good enough anymore when one is aware of the conditions that vary from booking to booking, country to country, and person to person. There are more details that only the former models can tell you and they are the ones that can unite to make the industry better for its future...or keep it just as unstable.
I'm not trying to complicate the industry with more chaos, but rather, say..."This is 2013! Keep track of models as soon as they enter the industry until they leave. Have PROFESSIONAL standards that keep the industry and models accountable, healthy, and professionally motivated."
So for now, learn the good, change the bad, help others, make some money, make some friends, & keep repeating. ;) Let's support positive changes...not just for your sake, but for the sake of being an advocate of professional modeling as an occupation.
