Confessions of a stock photography model
by Andrew Kimler
You don't know me, but chances are you've seen me. I did some things I'm not proud of for money. I was desperate.
I was a stock photography model.
I began stock photography modeling (or "modeling," if you want to get fancy) when I was in my mid-20s. I didn't do it often — maybe once a year or so, if and when a job fell into my lap. To date I've probably been a part of 10 to 20 stock photo shoots.
It was never a passion; I never had illusions about becoming a model or walking down a runway. I was an actor, and I did it for a buck when I desperately needed a buck fifty. I would shoot, collect my money, and be on my way. Most of the time those photos never saw the light of day. This all happened many years ago. But time, just like a well-placed stock photo, makes fools of us all.
Here are four lessons I learned as a stock photography model.
