She appeared on the TV show Make Me a Supermodel as the official photographer. [10] Scalora said: "I was so excited when the producers asked me to be a part of the show.

Newsweek book critic David Gates described the digital images as "glossy, spookily lovely processed photos" in a book which was purportedly about "a scholarly expedition to document and catalog fairies" in which "kids will see a visionary world of sadness and cruelty, beauty and grace." [1] A critic at USA Today described Scalora's The Witches and Wizards of Oberin and The Fairies as "gorgeously illustrated books" adding that "little ones (children) will love the magical pics; the older set will have fun recognizing some of today’s famous faces." [17] In 2009, Scalora wrote Evidence of Angels in collaboration with Francesca Lia Block on a book for teenage readers with photographic evidence that "fairies are real."
