The Model Myth

It is a common belief that foot site owners must have the time of their lives being surrounded by hot girls and pretty feet all the time. From the outside, it appears we live fantasy lives, but from the inside, the truth is far from that.

Models are girls. They always have been, and always will be. They have quirks, boundaries, and boyfriends. Some models think they are overweight, and don't want to be shot from certain angles or in certain attire. Some don't want their photographers, usually male, to touch them, except to pose them. Some are cool with their photographers touching their feet, but not worshipping them. Others will only shoot with other models--no guys allowed. Although they are being paid, models have the right to place restrictions on that for which they will be paid. And then you have the ones with boyfriends whose approval they feel they need to do things.

Models are people. They always have been, and always will be. They have the same issues other people do. Some show up late, some need to leave early, and some don't show up at all. Others want more money for what they are being asked to do. Unbelievably, some don't have the attire needed for the shoot. Depending on the demand for the model, they also have the power to negotiate rates. Its not uncommon for a model to counter an offer. The site owner can accept or decline. Usually models who counter offers don't have their own set rates, but know they can up the ante based on their looks and experience.

So the next time you see foot fetish models on sites, think about them as being girls, and as being people. That will help you understand why you don't see them wearing certain outfits, doing certain poses, or shooting certain content.
