Honestly I can only speak in general terms since they aren't my stories to tell. But yes one likes to discover new and innocent talent and tours the U.S. contacting small local agencies and hand picks the guys to come meet him at a hotel he stays at to "audition". I am honestly shocked that these agencies send their top guys to these castings since they know good and well what is going on. Then one will contact guys on Instagram and ask if they will be in New York and will offer free shoots but they must send a nude photo first and must be willing to shoot nude. Then at the studio he will usually offer if not expect to fluff the models. But again, all this is direct from the model and some end up being traumatized and some end up thinking this is the beginning to a HUGE career (which is promised by one specifically) which of course, this big career or campaign only happens to maybe 1 percent of the models. I will say that some models are naive and some are truly victims of one in particular but some are also doing anything and everything they can to "make it" and they will tell the photographer that and some will even make the first move to get the stardom they hope for. But some of those same models will then jump on the victimized band wagon if and when they hear of these lawsuits and settlements. One model in the news not too long ago is definitely one of those models that wanted to do anything and everything to get fame but when it didn't work out, it was all of a sudden a case of harassment. Just know that most of the rumors are fact unfortunately with tons more guilty of the same (both on the photographer side and the model side.)
