Is 30+ considered old? - Oh Lordy!

Welcome to Model Mayhem.  Is this your first time here?

Perception of actual reality may be skewed a little bit but this is how it works...

Use the "browse" function, and you can search for models in your area (or elsewhere) by age.

Edit: I just noticed you have a free profile, so it may not let you search by age.

If you don't set an upper age limit (like 99), you'll get a lot more models. You'll never know how old they are, but most are likely to be over 30 (although some may not look like it).

30 is nothing. There are a lot of models on here who are 111 years old.

Hahahahahahaha!

There are tons, but you should search for 29 year old models if you want to find them

Now behave yourself, lil' Big A! 
You're how old now?   
I thought you were younger! 

  I'm teasing about behaving, but serious about you looking younger.
And 30's, 40's and even 50's is still young!

I've seen some older models on here but few and far between.  Are there any other 30+ models here?

Hi,

I was just back home in Chicago these last two days. Nice to read you.

I turn 47 in weeks and have been actively back to modeling for a year now.

Enjoy!

Thank you DoF.

I am of the strong belief that if a ripe bowl of fruit can model and make beautiful pictures, than so can a sack of potatoes (that would be me.)


I think up photo ideas for anyone who wants to model for me, of any size, shape, age, or look by some of the following considerations:

1. Why do they want to model, and how would they like to express themselves?

2. Everyone has a beautiful side. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses.

3. Beauty often comes from the inside out. What is in the heart? What is in the spirit?

4. Anyone and anything can be cast in an interesting way in a movie or a play. Therefore, we can cast ourselves in portfolio photos as well.

5. The more unique characteristics a person has to work with, the better. You have three boobs? Let's get busy and make some kick-ass photos. I already know what to do.

6. Photography, like Art, is available to anyone who wants to jump in and have fun.

7. I get immense joy from meeting nice people and brainstorming ideas together.

Nicely put!

Yeah I literally got the cops called on me the last time I tried buying booze with friends.  They thought my driver's license was a fake ID!  I was like wtf!  AND I always get pulled over for 'violating curfew'.  Whenever people ask my age and I tell them, they're like   ...      ....  PFFFFF HAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!  No but srsly Big'A'. 

Everyone asks what grade I'm in still.  I'm like what the frick!  I need some wrinkles or something.

Just make sure you bring some Febreeze.  We all smell like 5 day old cat litter and have coupon ink stains on our fingers.

It's true about the smell not unless your shooting with a celeb.

Visit cali, I've shoot 55+.

Yeah but that doesn't count.  Silicone lasts longer than Twinkies.

I worry that photographers looking for nude models wouldn't put my true age in their search criteria.

I pretty much assume that, no matter how good one looks, after 25 - if you're totally honest about your age - you're not even getting searched as much anymore.

You have a luminosity that is rare when photographed, you really light up, as in the candid in your profile, and I so can believe that people meeting may you, indeed, think your younger, and want to take you right away home to your mother.
