But you should know that it&#8217;s not for everyone. You need to be comfortable with your body and be willing to work in front of strangers.<\/p>\n<p>You also need to enjoy being around other artists \u2013 who, if they&#8217;re any good, can be a little bit quirky. You&#8217;ll meet lots of different people and get to be part of a lot of different projects. We recommend you keep a journal so you can look back at all the fun things you did as a model and remember how great it felt.<\/p>\n<p>Maintaining an art model portfolio can help others see your work and help you get more work, but it&#8217;s also just part of what being an artist is all about. Don&#8217;t worry too much about whether you&#8217;re good enough or not \u2013 everyone starts somewhere.*<\/p>\n<p>We love our models here at the studio, and we will do everything we can to make sure you have a great experience. If you have any questions or concerns while working with us, please let us know right away!**&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Being an art model is a lot like being an actor, except the director is taking pictures instead of making a movie. You get to be someone else for the day, pretend you are in a different place or time, and tell the story with your body. It&#8217;s fun.<\/p>\n<p>The difference between this and acting is that film directors make movies, so they have to make sure the lighting is right, that there isn&#8217;t too much background noise, that the focus stays sharp. But if you are posing for an art model, you can pretty much do it anywhere. As long as your face can be seen clearly, it doesn&#8217;t matter where you&#8217;re standing!<\/p>\n<p>The thing I like best about being an art model is that no one cares what you look like naked. If they did they wouldn&#8217;t hire me. It&#8217;s liberating to help someone work through their artistic vision without having to worry about how your body looks. And it&#8217;s fun!<\/p>\n<p>Modeling is something I&#8217;ve been doing for about 15 years now, and it&#8217;s taught me a lot about myself and others. Sometimes it feels like I&#8217;ve learned more from modeling than from college! Here are a few things I&#8217;ve learned from being an art model: Don&#8217;t take life too seriously; Have compassion for others<\/p>\n<p>Being an art model can be a very rewarding experience. It can also be a little scary, since you\u2019re literally putting yourself out there to be seen and judged. I want to help you navigate this process so that you can have the best experience possible. I\u2019ve been modeling for over 20 years and I\u2019m a professional artist as well, so I feel like I have some insight into both sides of the process and some advice to offer.<\/p>\n<p>Tone:informative and factual<\/p>\n<p>The art modeling industry is not a glamorous one, but it is fun and profitable for those who are willing to put in the time and effort. This guide will give you a comprehensive look at what the art modeling industry is like, the different types of art modeling jobs, and most importantly, it will tell you how to land your first job as an art model.<\/p>\n<p>Quotes:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you&#8217;re looking to make quick cash or even just earn a living as an artist&#8217;s model, they usually need specific physical characteristics that you&#8217;re unlikely to have.&#8221; &#8211; Ella Cain<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Being an artist&#8217;s model is a lot of fun &#8212; mostly because of the creative people you get to meet and all the interesting things you get to do. However, the pay isn&#8217;t great. If you want to make money in this field, it helps if you can also be a photographer or painter.&#8221; &#8211; Elisabeth Hopper<\/p>\n<p>*What is it like?*<\/p>\n<p>You may be nervous before your first time, but once you are in the studio and working with the artist it becomes very natural. You will find the experience exciting, fun, and very rewarding.<\/p>\n<p>You will feel more beautiful than you have ever felt before. You will feel more confident and body conscious than ever before. You will learn to appreciate your own beauty in a way that you never have before.<\/p>\n<p>The artist will not judge or criticize you. He\/She is there to help you show yourself as best you can in your own unique way. He\/She wants to capture your inner self-confidence and beauty on canvas, clay or stone.*<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jJgeklpUbyA?autoplay=1&#038;mute=1\"><\/iframe><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SxTmqZaL1H8?autoplay=1&#038;mute=1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Being an art model is a challenging and rewarding job.
