Being a Model

There are not many models around in Perth at the moment, so if you would like to give it a go read on!

If it is a challenge for a first time artist it is certainly a challenge to be a first time model. I help and co/register models for two Perth based groups and it is always good to get in touch with new models as there are very few 'permanent/reliable' models available.

If you are interested in being a model there are two things that Artists are looking for even before you take your clothes off. Reliability... you will arrive on time. Relaxation... you are not embarrassed and you can hold a pose.

For first timers, I may put you in contact with another model for some advice or arrange for a briefing. Best is when we can arrange for you to sit in on a session and you can see how it works. After the initial experience of the first pose it does not take long to get the hang of it.

Mostly artists want to be able to draw models who have a personal unaffected 'presence', They may be good at soft twists and bends, or angular actions, may be unfashionably 'ripe' looking, at ease, or have great features. This applies to blokes as well!

I personally prefer models without jewelry, tattoos, or make-up.

The going rate for nude modeling in Perth is $20 per hour. Most sessions are for three hours. Private session are negotable.

Currently in Perth there are about 10 consistent life drawing groups in operation. Models come into this circuit through contact with participating artists and from then get recommended on to other groups. To ensure the integrity and privacy of the model there is a very strict protocol around passing on contact information.

If you are living in the Perth region and are thinking about registering, contact me. Registration is private and no names or contact details are handed on without the permission of the model.
