Do you really think models add nothing? Because that is a form of art too. If anything the comparison only serves to give some credit to influencers.

it’s not an art, it’s advertising…

Do you realize artistic photography uses models too? I mentioned it right below in this discussion.
Consider that maybe you associate modeling with advertisements because our society is more driven by marketing than culture.

actually, no. It’s a line from the movie Mia… about a model… and i, an artist, have given it thought prior to this discussion…
photography IS an art, yep… models posing isn’t… it can be kinda artistic, i suppose… there’s an expression in it… but it can be artistic without being an artform.
like making a wood dresser, it’s more of craftsmanship than an art (but carpentry cooooould be used in art, such as wooden sculpture…)
and, yes, influencers coooould be taking artistic pictures of themselves, but that’s not what influencer really means.
at any rate, i hope they all die painful deaths… and it’s about the only artsy thing i feel ok with AI replacing.
And if you consider beauty filters, AI replaced influencers a long time ago…

I’ll bite… what do models add?
TwilightVulpine@lemmy.world 8 months ago
What is there to “bite”? Photography would be a lot more limited without them. Fashion, whether you are into it or not, needs them. Traditional artists rely on them to learn. This is not even bringing up the more salacious side of it which, regardless if you think that is “worthy” or not, it’s enjoyed by a lot of people.

I hadn’t though about traditional artists. I’ll give you that, though most of us don’t think about a static model posing while an artist is sculpting or painting them.
Let’s be honest photography can stand on its legs without models. And as for fashion, you guessed it right not really into it, but most importantly it adds to the same question we keep asking in this thread, who benefits from this besides Mr versace and a couple other assholes? Really what do they “add”?
