How Policies Affect Freelance Modeling and Photography - a Deep Dive with Kristy Jessica and Diana Jean

Author: Kristy Jessica November 15, 2024 Duration: 57:56
Not to be freaky but there are some major freedoms at stake in this country. Diana and I do a dive deep into the challenges facing freelance models and photographers in the ever-evolving landscape of policies and regulations. We explore the significant impact that the 2018 law SESTA-FOSTA has already had on the creative industry, focusing on fine art, boudoir, erotic photography, and more. It was written to protect sex trafficking victims, but has not accomplished its goal, and only harmed creatives and consensual sex workers as a result of it's vague and overreaching terms.  We discuss the broader implications of Project 2025 and Agenda 47, examining how these proposed policies could reshape the future of modeling, photography, and related fields. Through a lens of informed discourse, we unpack the complex relationship between politics, art, and personal freedoms, offering a nuanced perspective on the realities faced by artists today. Listen and learn as we navigate the intricacies of policy, misinformation, and advocacy, encouraging listeners to stay informed, engaged, and proactive in protecting their rights and the vibrant creative communities they cherish.
