Modeling can teach a little about portrait shoots—how photographers direct poses, communicate, and use lights—but it’s a limited way to learn photography. As the model, she usually won’t be choosing aperture, shutter speed, composition, camera angle, or lighting setup, so she won’t learn much of the core craft by simply being photographed.

If her goal is to understand photography, assisting a photographer or observing a shoot is generally more useful. That gives her a chance to see setup, lighting, planning, and decision-making.

The suggestion that she needs to be barely clothed or nude in order to “learn photography” is a red flag. If she wants glamour or boudoir photos for her own reasons, that’s a separate choice—but it shouldn’t be presented as necessary education. If she does consider working with any photographer, she should review their portfolio, verify references, and use a clear contract about image use and boundaries.
