I must admit from the outset that I am not your average "life model" and many people say that I have far too much personality combined with charm and charisma to have been a life model which I totally agree with but I have always enjoyed my many life model assignments over the years as an artistic pursuit and a time of calm,chilled-out reflection.It has also never been about the money as I make a vast amount from my more commercial work combined with the fact that I am also a creative entrepreneur too.I have met some very talented young artists and promising fashion designers so all in all a quietly rewarding aspect of my work and life to date!!
I am also totally "dominant" in my character and most life art teachers/art tutors expect the model to be submissive (or "models must be seen and not heard" which caused a conflict (not literally of course and just within myself as a dichotomy as I am very professional to work with!) with my personality as I was also used to dealing with top directors,photographers,agents,actors,models and people in the high end of the entertainment business who would treat the model on a level par as opposed to submissive in nature,but all in all I have enjoyed my life modelling work despite this fact and travelling to many different locations.
"I'm arranging a life drawing session for a group of art therapists in Angel in North London and we had you as our model by storng recommendation in August 2010 and everyone was so impressed with you that I was hoping we could book you for the next session as you proved to be a very personable,talented,worthwhile model and very popular with all the students" Ann
I have in fact modelled at MANY more art/fashion colleges,sixth forms,private groups and classes since publishing this page and have also been involved in more art documentaries/commercials and films than mentioned in the CV below, however,I am restricted by space to credit them all here but it does offer you an idea of where I have previously modelled.
I have been a popular,reputable life model since the tender age of 19 and a clothed,fashion editorial model since the age of 16 so please be assured that you will be booking a highly experienced and professional model.
I have also attached a reference to my my modelling talents and abilty below for your perusal....
I was also recently involved in the Big Draw at the Courtauld Gallery,Somerset House modelling with a ballerina/model as well as other major galleries combined with London Fashion week 2009.
DISCLAIMER
I am NOT associated or currently connected with or ever have been affliated to any other life drawing agency or organisation.
However I am registered and on the books of a major,well-know London fashion and model casting agency for all my television and editorial assignments.
I am still available for life modelling assignments,although I am now mainly concentrating on my television commercial,mainstream clothed editorial modelling,acting,presenting,musical career and voice-over work which has always been my mainstream line of work and background in the entertainment industry since a young age.I am registered with a top London fashion model agency but please feel free to contact me directly with any modelling assignments or questions that you might have.
A culmination of my life modelling work was being interviewed as a reputable,well-known model on the exclusive Culture Show with John Sessions at the drawing room of the Royal Academy of Arts in London.Another life modelling highlight was modelling for respected art tutor/author Sarah Simblet for her life drawing tutorial programmes filmed for BBC3 television.
ENHANCEMENT OF TRUST and PROFESSIONALISM AS A MODEL
I have also modelled at 24 different all-girls sixth form art classes in London,Sussex and throughout the home counties with numerous repeat bookings with many more invitations to model at other schools and establishments,which is a testiment to my life modelling abilities and enhances my good reputation as a male life model other wise I would not have been initially asked and the work at the girls schools was all due to "word-of-mouth" recommendations by the respective art teachers who met me a many different summer courses,evening classes and private classes.I choose to mention this fact of modelling for the schools as it is relevant to my reputation,etiquette,personality,compatabilty with students that demonstrates and displays my abilty as a model combined with safe trust as a respected,reputable and professional male life model in this particular arena.
I have also worked with the exclusive OUTREACH PROGRAMME as a trusted male life model which organises life drawing classes and models epecially for schools and younger age-groups in educational establishments.
I made guest appearances in two episodes of The Naked Office on Virgin television screened in Spring 2010 which was great fun!!
