Become a Model

Become a model! Its easy, and beginners are welcome! Please take a moment to read the very informative Model FAQ material below which answers the most frequently-asked questions.

Hiring is always on a per-project basis and, in most cases, I will need to see you for a paid in-person interview to match you with a particular project. I will contact you using your preferred method. Please submit photos, keeping in mind that portrait “head shots” aren’t as helpful as full-body images. Your availability is important.Please be as specific as possible.

Q: Do I need big muscles?
A: Certainly not! With my eyesight, definition is more important than bulk. Slender/slim builds are very ok.

Q: Do I need to shave?
A: Certainly not! Natural is best.

Q: How many hours does a project take? What is my commitment?
A: Depends on the project. Count on at least 10 hours. Some projects take well over 20 hours. Once started, I ask models to finish a project.

Q: When are the sessions?
A: I have a full-time day job, so sessions are evenings, weekends, or when I take a vacation. The time/day is very flexible to meet your needs. Sessions typically take 2 hours, and you get frequent breaks.

Q: When do I get paid?
A: Models are paid in cash at the end of each session.

Q: I’m under 18 years old. Can I model?
A: Yes, you can! Not all projects require nudity.

Q: Can I remain anonymous?
A:  Yes. Projects with full faces are rare. Model’s names are confidential.

Q: Is my personal data safe?
A: Yes, your personal data is confidential and will never be sold or shared.

Q: Will you take photos of me?
A: Not normally; however, if you know you will become unavailable, e.g. going away to school, I will ask to take photos of you in the pose for personal study in order to finish a project. All photos remain confidential, and any use other than personal study requires your permission.

Q: What if I have other questions?
A: Call or text. I’m happy to answer any questions.

Q: What’s next?
A: I will contact you to arrange a paid in-person interview. I respect and appreciate your time.
