Exactly what happened?
I've gotten totally caught up in the story, the imagery the scene setting that I've missed the ending.
Was she selling YOUR pictures for $25 or something like that?
Had that myself too, was an agency photographer for a few years, the girls could purchase from me or have “private” shoots, but I never got a penny ~ the “boy friend” always had something to say, usually with the word slutty thrown in somewhere, but like you, the images would and did appear in magazines, newspapers etc.
Whilst I very soon stopped doing anything with the agency girls, outside the agency work, one [unpaid for] picture actually supplanted a released agency picture in an article on the agency itself, the boss said it was not the image we wanted representing her company. Even though I had not sent it in or supplied copies, my proof sheet had been copied [by the model] and a trust was broken [between me and the agency boss] ~ I lost that job.
Hate women ever since .....
well not really, this just sounds like a nice ending, I’ll take artistic licence with it, OK? :
