MODELING OPPORTUNITIES:
I'm always booking models for various projects. Please don't hesitate to contact me for more information on modeling opportunities.
You must be at least 18 years old.
You must be willing to sign a model release.
Not all models need to be nude. A Thong and Pasties are quite common. This varies depending on the project. Nude may be required for certain projects.
No experience is necessary, however I expect you to behave in a professional, mature manner while on set.
Unless I contact you for a specific need, I probably won't offer you any pay. Your compensation will most likely be Trade for CD or Prints.
Here are the things to expect as a model, and how to be prepared for getting painted:
 
Most paintings take a LONG time to create. Average time is 6 hours. Some have taken as long as 10 hours. If I expect your painting to take longer than 6 hours, I’ll let you know. Let this sink in! This will be a long day! 
 
Once you’re painted, expect to get photographed. The photo shoot can take 1 – 2 hours, sometimes longer, depending on the location, props, and number of models.
 
We will utilize a professional makeup and hair artist as much as possible. Though, sometimes this is not practical. Be prepared to do your own makeup and hair if needed.
 
You may have to stand for a long time. I do everything I can to keep you as comfortable as possible, however. I have often provided a padded bench to lie down on. Some girls have cat napped while being painted.
 
The paint is a makeup designed for skin. Most of it comes off with rubbing alcohol and/or soap and water. Sometimes baby oil works well. 
A PREPARED MODEL:
 
  1. Be prepared to sign a model release.
  2. Bring snack food and water. Not all sets are catered J  
  3. Bring comfortable shoes to stand in for a long time. Bring shoes that won’t be ruined if they get a drop of paint on them.
  4. Bring a bath robe and / or very loose fitting sweats or pajamas.
  5. Bring all your own makeup and hair stuff.
  6. Bring the right shoes. We’ll let you know if the shoot calls for a specific shoe type.
  7. You need to be cleanly shaved in your bikini area. Everywhere we put paint. Some models prefer to shave their arms too. This is up to you. If you have hairy arms, you might be glad you did. Cleanly shaven legs too.
  8. ABSOLUTELY NO lotions, moisturizers, perfumes, body sprays, etc. Deodorant is OK.
  9. IF you are one of the models wearing a g-string, bring the right kind. If possible, I will try to bring one for you. White or nude is the best colors. The thong / g-string needs to have the least amount of material possible. Too much material soaks up paint, and adds texture that is often not desirable. No ruffles, bows, lace, or any other frilly foo foo.
  10. Chaperones are welcome. However, they need to be cleared before hand.
  11. Feel free to bring your own camera.
  12. Feel free to bring your own music, if there is something you prefer, we will be happy to play it at the shoot, depending on the location.
  13. Before your shoot, wear loose clothes and no undergarments, this will help avoid panty lines and strap marks
  14. Always wash, shave and/or trim all the areas that might be photographed.
  15. Never eat right before the photo shoot, as it will give you a noticeable tummy.

Feel free to bring alcohol, but please DO NOT get drunk!
