I shot a few Ford models when I shot Scandihoovian fashion a long long time ago. Dealing with buyers and clothing mavens was so nerve-wracking I had to give it up - they wanted every line of stitching to be lit and I didn’t think I was shooting still life. The better the model the more relaxed I felt as they would not knowingly screw something up. On a shoot in Sweden, I realized that although I thought I was the talent, the women were each earning three times what I was making. There we were in the land of tall blonde Swedes posing nearly naked women in furs, stockings and heels in snow and all the models were American. They liked being able to talk to the photographer without going through a translator. That was hard work and okay, the models were mostly nice, but... some complained almost constantly.
