Mini Miss: why I am against children in the modeling business
'01.04.2017'
Youth is a new trend, which bound both beauty and fashion industries. And while some are ready to give any money for anti-aging procedures., others believe, that the key to success is an early start to a career, and send their children to the modeling business. Why you shouldn't do this, says blogger Anastasia Alekseenko.
I have long wanted to write about it, but now I observe the development of the situation in my close circle. And so I decided to make a separate article about why, in my opinion, children should not be sent to model schools and encouraged to participate in all sorts of children's beauty contests.
For the most part, their children's modeling business is primarily a business of pumping money out of parents. Model schools, courses, photo shoots, portfolio shooting - this is the minimum list of expenses. To participate in beauty contests, you need to sew costumes, prepare makeup, hairstyles, and also all for your own money. Agencies often make money on children in the dark. There are cases when children participate in a paid shooting (that is, the customer paid for the shooting and, among other things, allocated a budget for fees for small models), but the agency representatives tell the parents that this shooting is not paid, that this is “work for the future, for portfolio ”and so on.
