Deimantė Guobytė spoke about the dishonest behind-the-scenes work of famous models: you can also buy a spot on the cover of the magazine

“I don’t know what kind of bubble I lived in, but just a year ago I discovered that a business like fashion trade magazine cover. They are not only bought by foreigners, but also by Lithuanians who want to pose as models, for one reason or another. Third parties sell covers like Elle, Bazzar, etc. Everyone is in order “, a well-known model appeared on the social network Instagram.

Diamond is outraged and says that agencies always deal with professional role models, that they don’t make decisions on their own.

“How do you know if a cover has been purchased? These famous magazines are only available for professional and generally famous models, not another way around (counter). With reputable and trustworthy agencies that know what they are doing. Angry when every second you call model now! No, this is not a model! Models not only see themselves as models, but also have serious agencies that represent them, go to castings, etc. She works in photo shoots where models are paid money, not “models” who pay magazines to take photos. The model works for the client, not the client for the model ”, D. Guobytė shares his thoughts.

“Those Lithuanians who are real models are ashamed of their profession just for pretending. Imagine that a photographer wrote to me and offered to buy me a place in a magazine,” he writes on his Instagram account.

Diamond also made the conversations with the photographers public. In one of them, the photographer offers to publish the photos in the Bulgarian magazine Elle, and also names the prices.

“For the June cover – 8 thousand. Although the usual price is 25 thousand. Euros But I need photos already taken. They would be published in the Bulgarian magazine Elle. If you are interested, I am waiting for a message,” the photographer wrote to Deimante.

D. Guobytė also shared the messages received by her friends, as well as the models. Here, to access the pages of the Indian office, 11 thousand would have to be placed. The photographer describes the photoshoots of the magazine “Harpers Bazaar” as “very expensive”: the price of the model would reach about 20 thousand euros. euros

Diamond argues that a model, like any other professional in her field, should have extensive experience.

“There is no man who has completed a three-day makeup course makeup specialist. A person who installs an apartment does not become an interior designer. Haircuts don’t become stylists! There are a million examples, and a woman who did a photo shoot in Lithuania and paid for the photos is not a model. I have been working as a professional model for 13 years, how can you call models that don’t even work? These are amateurs or want to become models. You have money? She can become a model in an instant ”, Mr. Guobytė is convinced.
