Glamour models is very simple to those like ourselves blessed with common sense. If you see a model or photographer saying they are published you are being scammed bigtime by nit wits making claims who don't even research or begin to know their profession. Published around the world means published in newsstand magazines and never magazines on Instagram or Facebook. NEVER. None of the 3 US Photography Associations or 11 in Europe and around the world consider any of these photo collections as Published. Word is the courts have 100% always agreed with the photography associations. Since the internet none of the modeling agencies put a model was published, they would put a cover magazine image. Go check models.com, a site of the world's top modeling agencies and models of the world. These newsstand published models and agencies don't even say they are publish but the clown show underachievers on Instagram and Facebook brag about being published. Sure scammer. Clowns didn't even check the internet that would have set these GED types straight. We had scammers and gaslighting types. We get asked often if we are published. We we used to shoot 25 to 50 models a week, had a nice printer and spiral bound books for models and not once were we saying YOU or I was published.
I've had two models featured in FHM and 4 featured in Maxim, one 4 or 5 times and Maxim just asked a second time in their interest for CC. Clarify your published statements and what is the number of copies published each month? Distribution? Pay? Model Pay? How did they choose you and the model? We have several websites and depends on many factors but under my friends old servers there were 1 million image views a day and 800 IPS blocked a day. How do those numbers compare to your PUBLISHED #'s?
I have seen over 40 togs on Instagram with books for sale on posing. Almost everything suggested is what not to do. Total GED clowns with zero common sense or they are just flat out scamming you.
For posing, ask yourself , What is the purpose of a model image, and understand expressions to hair are part of the image and overall posing. Now in 2025 You Tube has a massive collection of preschoolers giving posing advice for men and woman and at birth I had more common sense. I hate scammers. In the days o film thesePUBLISHED and Posing book types were not out there in massive numbers for film to developing cost thousands so the hospital worthy types were not there. Then you had to pay to publish a book!
We notice even the camera and lighting companies have togs and models giving advice and again, jokers, clowns and bad advice. If you know the purpose of a model image then you and the models should create nice professional images. Our entire lives we never took anything for granted and reading Encyclopedia's and books at age 3. We never were into guessing our entire lives.
