A photographer yesterday described me as looking organic, all natural, no additives, no preservatives which absolutley tickled me but I thought it was the biggest compliment. How have photographers described your look and were you happy with the description?

Aww but you do look gorgeous. A puppy is for life not just for christmas ha ha : )
The ones that I can really remember because they were spoken post fact and just randomly, which gave them real meaning in my view, were a real stunner and show stopper.

Haha i have had alot of different opinions. Ranging from "your tattoos make you look hidious" Ummm, thankyou?) all the way up to "breathtakingly stunning!".
I have been repeatedly described by artists and photographers as being a nice representation of the average middle aged American woman, and with having a completely natural body and figure that is well suited to art nude modelling. Considering that I am 60 years old, I am really happy with that.
I get a lot of generic 'hot', 'sexy', 'stunning'. I love it when I'm posing nude outdoors and someone compliments me on how truly 'Nymph like' I am. I also had someone recently compliment me for using the word 'equine' to describe my look. He said I was strong, curved, powerful like a horse. I began using that term because another photographer used it.

And I agree with what they said.
Very natural almost.
Like a ray of sunshine. Or a flower. Hmm.
I hear a lot that I look like a renaissance painting, both from traditional artists and photographers (that one I really like). Apart from that I get "voluptuous" (yawn) and "diva" a lot. And of course the Rubens comparison, which doesn't make any sense to me since the models in those days had bodies that were the total opposite of mine (small shoulders and small boobs but with huge hips, whereas I am V-shaped with huge boobs).

Mostly just "cute" and "petite."
"I wasn't expecting you to be so tiny," used to be a pretty common comment.
In real life, I look very different than how I photograph.
I'm also a lot curvier than most people expect, since I generally always made a habit of posing in ways that minimize the appearance of my hips/derriere.

I get that too, apparently I'm smaller than how I photograph.
I get told that I remind the photographers of their youth, of how I should have been 20 in the 60s or 80s instead of now, and they tell me stories about the 'original' Woodstock and how I could have been their best friend if we met at a festival in Rothbury instead of a studio in Atlanta.
Actually, a wardrobe stylist nicknamed me Wildflower
I like it

On the negative side, being called "fat" from time to time is kind of an occupational hazard.
Edgy has great meaning and is a wonderful compliment. In usuage it has some equivalency to the Italian forza, except often it has a patina of coolness, as edge is force, effective force combined with a patina of coolness. You missed the sixties where people would have just said of some of your work: "edgy and cool."

The best compliment I've ever received was regarding my sprezzatura, if we're bringing up the Italian side of things
I've heard "wow, you're really tall" (really?). I've also heard "easy to work with" and "expressive" and a few guys have grunted
As for people I haven't worked with, I get voluptuousness, busty, rubenesque, curvy, real (hate hate hate that one), 50's movie star (it's the eye liner), stuff like that
