No more real models, only instagram models, what is happening?

[Anonymous]

Did u noticed that actually there are no more photoshoots like old times? 90% of new models are present only on Instagram or Tiktok and they never appear in public, so we can't even know if they are real or fake.
What happened to the photoshoots as Playboy, Nuts, Zoo Weekly etc?
There are only videos recorded with smartphone, im not talking about men's magazine, cause in this case we can say that no one need to buy magazines anymore cause there is google etc. im talking about photoshoots (as video) video calendars etc.
If you check on youtube only Sports Illustrated Swuimsuit and Bikini Team are active with photoshoots
Look at the main men's magazines:
Playboy "no more videos"
Maxim "no more models photoshoots"
SoHo "no more models "photoshoots
COED magazine (MISS COED) "suspended"
Donjuan "suspended"
FHM "suspended"
Hustler "suspended"
Penthouse "suspended"
Slitz "suspended"
Zoo Weekly "suspended"
Why they no more produce videos?
Maybe girls currently earn more with social networks than with photoshoots?

I didn't say I noticed it now, but until a few years ago there were still some magazines that produced videos, what I'm asking is the cause, because everyone talks about a different cause

well quite simple. if you could choose between having to go to some publication or label or institution in hopes for them to pay you good money for pictures of you, OR you could just take pictures and monetize that shit yourself as you please, what would you choose?

everyone can be a publisher today given these platform. you don't have to through the effort of negotiating with cut throat media publishers about your salray. you just post your shit on instagram and just wait till "raid shadow legends" approaches you to pay you 100.000 bucks so you talk about their game while showing your ass and tits.

true, and probably the fear of the competition or not being hired is also added, but for me it is sad that while the quality of photoshoots increased over time, now there is a decline

[genericname85]

why does that make you sad? are you a professional photographer fearing for your job?

[Asker]

i do videoediting for photoshoots

[genericname85]

Yeah. I get it then, that people will rather do it themself than pay for a professional service.

The internet made it so they can deliver the ads to you much more cheapely.

There are still models because there are fashion shows. However, no doubt there are far few models. This is what mother told me. Twenty years ago, the clothes (dresses, etc.) in department catalogs and/or websites were photos showing the clothes on models. Therefore, there was a need for lots of models. Now, almost all the photos are on mannequins and they don't even show the mannequins face. That includes even expensive evening gowns at Saks and Neiman Marcus. For example, see this Neiman Marcus evening $7,190 gown.

There are models but they are being replace by mannequins in clothing ads.

the internet, social media, cell phones and digital cameras gave pretty much every female the ability to be a model and/or adult film star.

[Asker]

yes, allows you to do it yourself, but there is no quality of a photoshoot made by professional photographers

[Snsl153]

Well, the girl in the photo on the right, under "2020 today" is real. That's Anna Nystrom.

[Asker]

i know she is natural, it was just an exemple of photos that you can find today, 99% of models are just doing selfies on instagram, while time ago there were video photoshoots of high quality made by photosgraphers + mostly models today never go to live events and no one know they are in real life

[Jltakk]

Everyone can be a model nowadays. Its an insult to actual models.
