i think . . .well i know i do it because its fun and well i guess you meet people, also with me its a confidence thing, some people might find this a little strange but i find the more i model (or the more i am in front of the camera) the more i am confident in other things, i suppose if u get nice images it makes you feel better :)

i guess theres a number of reasons why some people do it for a hobby, mine is simple, its fun, i have a full time job that i love and would never give up to model so it could never be a full time thing for me.

i model because its fun and i love it, i dont need the money so why charge, that to me is just greedy, also i ride horses for a hobby to and i dont expect to get paid for that, in fact it actually costs me money emoticon

Quote from Victoria_Howard
Why do models model as a hobby?  I keep coming across girls whom model as a hobby and don't want to make money.

I'm just curious as to what drives them. What do they like about it ect.



I'm in a way curious more as to why money seems to somehow legitimise any activity.  Of all the possible enjoyments open to models, the adventures and fun and self-image improvement and creativity and society and exhibitionism and novelty, why should it somehow be more understandable if they were driven by base greed?

When I was younger I thought modelling would solve all my problems (self esteem, money etc.) A friend of mine in the business (as it were) told me that it was not the case, so I left it until I was motivated by reasons other than a desire for money.

I had conselling. I got comfortable in my body. Now I do at least a shoot every fortnight without making any money, but I have such a good time its worth it!
