”The first time I posed for life modelling was before I went through a procedure which would alter the shape of my body.
When I started posing I noticed that the insecurities I had about my figure were not there and I felt extremely comfortable. It was exciting to see how each artist captured me in their style. The experience was eye opening to how I viewed myself and I walked away feeling very liberated with a new found appreciation for my body”.
I would recommend it to anyone.
