You know the comparison is flawed and the two kinds of work are very different in almost every way. I expect some kinds of work to be measured in different ways than other, in the same way I don't think programmers should be paid per keypress.

It's really not that different. The bricklayer's wall could become part of a very valuable property in the future (say if the area became highly desirable), or it could be subject to a natural disaster and fall down. Just like the model's pictures could end up everywhere, or in the bin. But they take on none of that risk. I reckon a model wouldn't do very well at all with taking the risk. A photographer could probably get through a hundred models in a week and bin 99 of them without giving them a penny.
- fragmede 3y agoto nitpick your numbers, working a 40 hour week, 100 models is 24 minutes a model, which isn't enough. 3 hours per model working 40 hour weeks has them getting through 13(.3) models, and even 3 hours seems low.
