Welcome to Cameras & Catwalks, the podcast where fashion meets the lens.
Hosted by a Las Vegas photographer/videographer and a model/runway coach, we dive into the fashion industry from both sides of the lens, sharing real talk, expert insights, and behind-the-scenes stories. From media to modeling, we cover it all to help creatives, models, and fashion pros level up.
Ep 0008 - Collaboration or Exploitation? Model Oversaturation. Collab Shoots Kept Private?
In this episode of Cameras & Catwalks, your hosts, a Las Vegas-based photographer/videographer and a professional model and runway coach, we’re breaking down when “collaborating for content” crosses the line into exploitation, why models hurt their own brand by oversaturating their feeds, and how most TFP shoots are better kept off the public grid. We also talk about when it’s perfectly okay to say, “don’t tag me,” the need for photographers to handle constructive criticism and compromise, and the growing pressure on models to double as influencers, whether they want to or not. It’s a real, unfiltered look at how to protect your work, your image, and your sanity in this industry.
