Just moved to Sydney last year and all my Amazing models are still in the USA.  I have some projects that I'm working on and would like to rebuild my model database. I am also looking to work with local photographers who would like to add bodypainting to their list of services they offer to their clients.

Sign up and you will be the first to know when I need to hire a model for body painting

The challenge is to work very fast.  A Bodypainter has problems with the canvas getting stiff, cold, sleepy,  grumpy, and even bored.  So a lot of work has to be put into the care of the model.  The goal is to have the model have the best possible experience. 
The relationship between the Bodypainter and the model is kind of like a cross between a hairdresser, bartender and therapist - but more intimate.  Most often the conversation shifts to relationships.  I spend most of my time being a sounding board for my model and providing the occasional male perspective.  Many of my models become good friends after their sessions, because there is nothing  left to hide.
