Gigi Hadid Started Her Own Fun Business to Make Money as a Teen

Gigi Hadid may not be in need of money these days, but when she was younger, she thought of a super creative way to make some extra cash.

The model used to take photos of horses and sell them – for $10!

Gigi recently stepped behind the camera to shoot Versace‘s Versus campaign, starring her boyfriend Zayn Malik, and she loved it, crediting her mom Yolanda for igniting her passion for photography.

“During her time as a model, she was always shooting her own stuff,” Gigi told the Daily Front Row (via Harper’s Bazaar). “She has some amazing behind-the-scenes photography of traveling the world. When she quit modeling when Bella and I were born, there was a camera around all the time. We were always being photographed, and we could always play with our mom’s camera.”

“I was a competitive horseback rider, and starting at 14 or 15, in between my competitions, I would take pictures of my friends’ horses and sell them for $10,” Gigi went on. “I would print them myself. I loved it. I used to have hadidphotography.com. It’s now just a locked webstarter.”

“Creative people always need to be creating, regardless of whether they are working or not,” she added.
