Vogue is "cheap"? Well, it depends on the relative fame of the client vs. the model. If merely being in the magazine is a feather in the model's cap and adds tremendously to the resume, she can count the fact that she worked for a publication on the level of Vogue as a big part of the payday. NOW she has Vogue in her portfolio which will pique the interest of lesser publications.

And perhaps her work for Vogue involved, like, one small picture of her hand. or something...

the $125 and $250 is probably just Per Diem that wasn't paid...

Obviously a "feather in the cap" is the motivation for print modeling. By supermodels. Not hand models. From the full article:

"Among the jobs Jagodzinska was awaiting payment for were two that dated from May of 2009. You'll see one of those deadbeat clients is Vogue Paris, which had apparently owed Jagodzinska the princely day rate of $125 for just under a year. In addition, American Vogue owed Jagodzinska two payments of $250, one from the previous October and the other from December. Doing a magazine editorial is basically volunteer work; where a model makes her money — if she makes money — is in advertising campaigns (which are rare but extremely lucrative) and catalogs (which are somewhat easier to book and generally offer day rates in the low-to-mid thousands)."

See, this is totally why I didn't get into modeling.

Please wait...
