I am an amiable professional getting into this business in my cougar years. I challenge models decades younger to match my integrity, perseverance, realism, flexibility, and balance.
I love to meet new and interesting people, and have exciting adventures. I am adding modeling to my repertoire to engage the other side of my brain and to become a true Renaissance woman.
I have eight years of martial arts experience, and I enjoy outdoor activities, weight lifting, and yoga. These activities enable me to create interesting and engaging poses for photos and showcasing products.
Incidentally, I have found the human body the most fascinating and beautiful piece of art. I have recently become more interested in sculpting my body into a true art form. Photography is but one of many ways to display and memorialize this evolving sculpture. I have been studying the body for quite some time ... I even have a couple of degrees in it. Now, I'm focusing on external beauty, and how it reflects inner beauty and health.
As further dedication to the purity of photography, and the documentation of my delayed aging process, almost all of these images were downloaded straight from the camera. All but two of them were taken within the past six months.
I can be best reached by email at thumbofdeath@yahoo.com. I'll elaborate on the unusual email address, should you contact me for work.
Serious professional offers with credentials only, please.
Thanks for viewing my profile.
