When Photographers See Models as Human Props Instead of People

They’re opportunities to learn, reignite inspiration, and are an excellent excuse to get out of our editing caves and connect with other creatives. As such, several other members of The Phoblographer staff and I joined one on the last day of the expo and discovered a story deserving of discussion that unfolded right in front of us. Usually, photo walks are quite fun and create fun ways to connect with other photographers, but this walk in particular became a different sort of revelatory encounter. As the model who was hired to help with the photo walk joined us, we watched what we’ve all probably seen all too often on the set of a shoot: a slow but steady dehumanization of the young woman in front of us, beautiful, photogenic, and seen as a prop instead of a person.
