Short poses can be anything from 15 seconds to 15 minutes. These can be fun as you can try different things, knowing you don’t have to hold them for very long, and switch between different poses that use different muscle groups, minimising any pain or discomfort. Long poses are normally a max of 20 minutesContinue reading “Life modelling – choosing a pose”

Life modelling and relationships
Life modelling really is about art. It’s not about nudity or sexuality. So it shouldn’t cause a problem. Right? Only sometimes it does. I’ve only been in one proper relationship when I’ve been life modelling, and I didn’t think it was a problem. Until we broke up. It was the first thing that came up whenContinue reading “Life modelling and relationships”
Portrait modelling
Portrait modelling is a bit different to life modelling. You’d think it would be easier, right? No getting naked. Piece of piss? Nah, not really. OK, so there’s no nudity, but people are staring at YOUR FACE. It’s really off putting. At least with life modelling you don’t really notice people or where they areContinue reading “Portrait modelling”
Life modelling – a little too familiar?
Hannah mentioned in this post that her worst fear with life modelling was seeing someone she knew. I’m not sure I share the same fear.

But behind the professional care worker exterior, Hannah holds a more unusual hobby. Hannah’s been aContinue reading “Life modelling – a model’s view”
A year in people #32 – Will the recruitment consultant
“Well. This isn’t how I expected my night to end.” I thought to myself, as I sat in just my knickers on one end of my sofa, with a guy called Will sat at the other. I’d been at an afternoon festival with friends and stopped in at Burger Star; it was about 8.30pm-ish and allContinue reading “A year in people #32 – Will the recruitment consultant”
A world of pain – life modelling
I laid on a wooden table, my shoulder blades jarring against the flat, hard wood while my left arm was bent back and under my waist, shoulder twisted unnaturally. My right arm laid on top of my belly, my little finger numb. It felt crooked and bent under the others even though it was flatContinue reading “A world of pain – life modelling”
Life Modelling
Just under 2 years ago I started life modelling. It was something I’d wanted to try for a while, ever since an off the cuff remark about wanting a painting of me for my bedroom wall one Friday night ended with a drunken half naked drawing session with a recruitment consultant/amateur artist from London called Will.Continue reading “Life Modelling”
