THE NAKED MUSE
"I love doing nudes, I'm sick of wearing clothes, and modeling provides a place wear I can be absolutely natural. My personality makes my clothes look good, but my body makes my nudes look better." ~ Susannah
a.k.a. THE NAKED MUSE
Fine Art and Photography Figure Model
Photography * Life Drawing * Painting * Animation
I'm not a Model - I'm an Artist and a Muse who is playful, sensual (not sexual) and lots of energy. There's a fine line between sensual and sexual but nevertheless it is distinct.
Many photographers enjoy working with me because I am professional, dependable, on time and accept direction very well. Most of the time they say "keep going!" and just sit back and take the photos. I apply movement to my poses, graceful moves, I move slowly enough for you to tell me when to stop and I'll hold the pose. My body is sculpted and expressive so bring lots of film, photo cards or whatever it is that you use.
Fine Artists and workshops/schools: I am also available for life drawing, painting and animation classes. I can do gestures, 5 min, 10 min and 20 minute poses as well as contraposto poses (the classic asymmetrical standing pose) and being a visual artist myself I understand negative space, contour, foreshortening, chiaroscuro (the effect of blending light and shade) etc.
For Independents - We can shoot at whatever location you choose. I'm very flexible in terms of scheduling. I have scarves, jewelry and stuff, but if you have drapery or rolls of material (even bed sheets or table cloths) we may get even more of a dramatic look for your photographic needs- you know the deal...
I am a full-time art model, I trained to be a model at my fine art school, so when you hire me, I come prepared with poses in hand so the photographer doesn't have to spend time posing me - that's my job to know what to do - so you can focus on getting that fantastic shot!
I look forward to working with you!
