    Is there such a thing as a union for photographers? I know there isn't one for models, which can be frustrating at times. Of course we all know that actors get their own unions but I can't help but think why don't we have a union of our own? Do you think that having such a union would be a good or bad thing? I know some people don't care for unions because of the fees that they have to pay but I'm wondering why all these years have gone by and the modeling/photography industry doesn't have such a union to represent them?

    Yes there are some unions but it completely depends on where you are in the world! In the UK its a voluntary organisation - generally you are protected by UK freelance employment laws but somethings these laws can be hard to enforce (like if someone won't pay up).
