RE: Lessons from a Norwegian underwear model en route home from SF3

in #steemfest5 years ago (edited)

I'm not an underwear model, nor attractive, nor female... but I was a photographer in a past life and worked with hundreds of models, and I think from their stories that you're both right and wrong. Super attractive people tend not to get attention from the right people, because they don't seem approachable.. but they get so much (so much!) attention from the wrong people... it legitimately sounds exhausting and honestly, a little scary at times.

I personally noticed that both male and females that were insanely gorgeous by conventional measures often didn't make excellent photographic subjects, because they were generally a little too guarded. I honestly preferred working with people that society would deem 'cute' that would work really hard to get that perfect image. To be a great model, you more have to play a character... being stunning just isn't quite enough.

One thing that I like about Steem in particular is the general preference towards quality instead of churn. Those with significant autovotes are in an entirely different category, of course, but for the rest of us, we often see way more interaction from the posts that we put really good effort into more than the collective effort of non-great posts. Or, that's my experience anyway...

That's interesting to hear! It does sound exhausting.

Maybe it was just the particular modelling circles she moved in. Sounds like her experience wasn't representative!

I was just happy for the conversation tbh!

The interaction I get on here is superb!
