Nude Modeling

This group is for all of us who have found the joy of modeling nude, be it for an art class, professional photographer, or a free lance artist. Or maybe you're someone who's always thought about modeling naked for class or artist. Here is where you can share your experience, both serious and funny, or if you're new to it, ask questions to see if it's something you seriously want...

How do I start as a model?

Return to Discussions

I am approaching a milestone birthday and I'm quite depressed about it if I'm honest. I don't feel ready to age. In my head, I'm still 27.

One of the things on my 'bucket list' for want of a better phrase is to be model for a life drawing class/artist. I have a photoshoot booked for nearer my birthday but the idea of posing for a sketch/painting done live is appealing too.

So, how do I start out?

Have you tried approaching local colleges, art schools etc?

So since I posted this, I made contact with a local art class who have said that as soon as the lockdown restrictions allow, they would love to have me model for them. They are fairly local so if it goes well, it could become a regular thing. The guy said they generally have a single pose so the whole session would be mine. Can't wait!
