A spat between bloggers threw the spotlight on lingerie shoots when a wardrobe malfunction photo was uploaded. We went to find out why young women wear sheer lingerie and pose for amateur photographers.

All she wanted to do was make more money to supplement her income.

But Miss Lin (above) ended up taking her clothes off in front of photographers.

Instead of using her Chinese name, she asked that we use her modelling moniker "Angel" Lin.

The 26-year-old says that she was too naive and trusted any photographer who paid her enough money.

The paralegal says she first started modelling part-time three years ago.

"I signed up for lingerie shoots because they offered more money and that was what I was after," says Miss Lin, who received a payment of $100 an hour then.

She recalls the first time she went nude for the cameras: "As I entered the hotel room, the photographer gave me the underwear I was supposed to wear. And I was shocked that it was so sheer.

"I told him that I was uncomfortable because my private parts could definitely be seen but he casually told me they would edit it to make it look decent."

And she trusted him.

But as he began snapping away, she realised that he was giving her directions that brought the photo shoot to a sleazy level, including asking her to spread her legs.

The photographer then suggested taking off her bra and panty.

Miss Lin says: "I was hesitant to do it but he told me that models had to strip to find fame.

"He showed me pictures of Caucasian models who looked good and told me he can make me look as good as them."

But when that did not work, the photographer showed her nude photos of famous local models.

Miss Lin says: "The photographer told me 'You see, now they are famous. You can be like that too.'"

She then reluctantly agreed.

Miss Lin admits: "I acknowledge I wasn't forced.

"But I was naive enough to let the photographers coax me into taking part in such shoots because they promised me a rosier future - one that would earn me more money."

She says: "I was just starting out and I now know it was a stupid thing to do."
