I

I am a 50 year old model, my hay-day was back in the late 80's early 90's - I was "bought" out of retirement a few years ago after being asked to do a few shoots for a local photographer who wanted someone a "little different" to the norm to pose for his exhibition work. I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed being in front of the camera...  Since then I have been working hard and my love for modelling and the arts has been re-ignited. My figure has changed since "back in the day" more curvy - and I like it.

 

I'm a hard worker, very conscientious and take direction easily, I have gained a reputation with some of the photographers and people I work with as being a little crazy... yes, at my age, I'm happy to climb trees, and push myself to the max.

 

I would like to say I'm trying to make a stand for mature models, to send people the message that just because we have hit a certain age, it doesn't mean we need to give up on ourselves, we can still look beautiful and there will always be a market for us somewhere out there, and not necessarily just stair lifts and "over a certain age holiday's".

 

I wouldn't describe myself as beautiful or pretty, I would say I have a quirky face... someone once described me as a blank canvass that can be worked on to look like a masterpiece. A compliment I feel.
