Neither of those elements are present during Lena's posing session with Seymour. If there's no camera, there'd need to be a canvas. If there's no canvas, then materials for sculpting which Seymour does none of.
Cat-walks promote the product (clothing / jewelry / anything else) to a buyer. Seymour is not a party interested in buying anything Lena is wearing. And even if he would be, the legally-binding document should specify the category of the items that would be promoted. If, say, it's the shoes and accessories (that he makes Lena wear), then they would have to be listed in the contract. And there would need to be an interested buyer if it's a private viewing like an auction, or there would need to be a public promotional event where any attendant gets to see the product on the model. Plus there would need to be a contract with a manufacturer / seller of the item (in this case the shoes).
So, Lena doesn't create anything artistic, nor does she promote anything to anybody because there's no contract with any of the company asking Seymour to promote their items (to himself?). Any lawyer would be able to prove it as at least a sexual exploitation / fraud if not an outright abuse.
