The dark side of the modelling business has been exposed once again as a young model has shared screenshots of seedy DMs sent from celebrity photographer Marcus Hyde.

The photographer, who has shot the likes of Kim Kardashian, Kanye West, and Ariana Grande, took to his Instragram Story to share the following photos, asking models if they’d be interested in shooting with him.
“Who wants to shoot?” One pic read. “Send nudes,” read the other.
A Los Angeles-based model named Sunnaya took to her Instagram to share screenshots showing what happened when she responded to his request for models.
“Ur fav male photographers are grimey,” she captioned the series of screenshots.
In the DMs, Hyde asks the model to send nude photos, to which she responds: “I don’t have nude photos, I’m comfortable shooting lingerie and partial nudity.”
“It’s 2k then,” Hyde responded.
“Lol, but nude is free?” She hit back, and he said yes.
She then gave into his request to shoot nude, on the condition that she didn’t have to send him nude pics upfront, but he informed her that without the nudes it would now be $2k for the photoshoot.
“Find someone else, I’ll keep shooting celebs,” he concludes the conversation.

Noticing the model’s post, Marcus wrote to her once again, saying: “Suck a big fat dick.”

After Sunnnaya shared the post to expose the well-regarded photographer’s predatory behaviour, loads of punters reported her post for “bullying and harassment.”
“Are you fucking kidding me @instagram ? #CancelMarcusHyde Stop supporting rapists.” She wrote in a subsequent post.

Hyde, who previously boasted millions of followers, changed his Instagram page to private before removing it from the app entirely in the wake of the controversy.
