Models Mixed-Method Study
Using a mixed-methods approach, this study explores the challenges, benefits, and technologies that (will) facilitate the work of cam models. By combining quantitative and qualitative measures, this project provides a rich picture of what drives models, how technology can empower them, the challenges they face, the benefits they derive from their work, and the vision that they hold for the future of camming. This project is essential to understand and improve the work conditions and wellbeing of models as technology continues to evolve.
