"Instagram model" must be one of the dumbest things one can say about themself
As 1. Instagram does not hire you to be a model.
2. You just post selfies like the hell???
There are many indi designers of clothing and accessories who heavily rely on Instagram exposure for their business. Those designs are shot on location with a photographer, assistant, makeup artist; people have to travel a few hundred kilometers to make the thing happen. This can be a surprising amount of work, and it's definitely not selfies.
For which you actually model. This is quite literally modeling, on Instagram. And it's not only marketing, it's also art. If you accept fashion and photography as art. I see the time and effort that my gf (and everybody I know in the European alternative scene) puts in it, shoots planned six months in advance, made-to-measure apparel for the occasion. It's common in the Gothic, alternative and fetish scene. Everybody gets something out of it, even when there isn't any money involved.
Then the person would be modelling for the ones that hire them, not instagram.
Instagram does not pay them to do any of those stuffs, anyone could just take picture of themselves, would that make all of them "model"
Modelling is an actually career, people go to school and learn to do it properly, they apply their CV to real agency and work.
Your gf posts picture of herself (with less or more effort than others) and calls herself a model, that's fine. Kids go out and draw shit on wall calling themselves artists all the times, I couldn't care less.
But "Instagram model" is just a very incorrect term as Instagram itself does not hire those people to model.
