St Louis is a semi decent city for figure study work. Theres classes and private photographers/painters.

To answer the above question, be aware of his/her body, what best delineates the form, curves, tone of the body. Be absolutely comfortable nude and able to hold a pose to the point of pain if necessary.

Will someone please check the photos on my profile and tell me if they are appropriate for a figure model.

Some of the figure models who have contacted me are now getting some paid gigs.  Remember; I don't take any commission for helping you, however I do tend to favor those models who participate in my events.
