i posed for a family friend yesterday. It was a great way to escape from political overload for a few hours. When I arrived at her home studio we agreed not to talk politics. I needed that escape from all of the bullshit. It was just what I needed to strip down and immerse myself in her artistic process. We each deal with stress in different ways.
When I have a modeling job I can zone out and that is often my approach in a class setting with groups of artists or students. When I collaborate with one or two artist I really enjoy our conversations, if they want to talk. Some artists are introverts and prefer to be quiet and focus on their work. Other artists seem to get energy from having a dialog while they are working.
Talking while I pose can be challenging. My duty to an artist is to remain perfectly still and focused but our conversations may cause me to laugh or want to become more animated.
No matter what, I love being a life model. How many of you get paid to hang out naked?
