As a painter and photographer, I have been regularly hiring models for thirty years. You can quickly see how I work with models by visiting my websites. I am a figurative artist/photographer. I use models in my work in several ways. Some sit for paintings. Some pose for photos to be used in paintings. Some model for fine art/glamour photography. Some do all three. Most models work for a few sessions or shoots. Occasionally one works with me regularly over a long period of time. Most of the people I work with have little or no experience. Dancing and acting skills are helpful but not required. You can be shy and still be a good model. If you are bold and daring, so much the better. For those aspiring to professional modeling, I try to use some of the time helping them build their portfolio. Many models find the photos they receive to be more valuable than the salary. A minimum of one professionally finished 8x10" photo is given to the model for each photo shoot she does with me. Models may have a CD of all their photos and may use them in any way except to make money from selling them. I like the human body and it is a major theme in my work. Some of the work I do is with nude models. However, no one who says she only works clothed is ever asked to pose otherwise. Whatever a model's level of modesty is, it is respected.
