Modeling as an art
I was asked the other day by an artist I had worked with, “Why are you drawn to doing nudes?”
It was the first time I ever tried to verbalize how I felt and it was my response that made me realize that my recent decision to pursue modeling full-time was the right choice. This was my response:
Amber Kourtney
Why I enjoy modeling: “I like it a lot, and I love seeing what people do, I don’t really know how to put it into words but its the closest to seeing inside of someone else perception”
“What is your attraction to nudes?”
” Posing for or looking at?”
“Either”
“Aesthetically I love the human form, I was brought up appreciating and respecting it and as a result am very comfortable with being nude; and as a model it is so much easier than dealing with wardrobe and constantly watching how the clothes lay and fight and move with the body. I feel that clothing can be very stifling to the creative process”
” I am much more fascinated with the lines and shapes of my body than looking at a picture of me in a pretty dress. There’s a time and place for both and I have done some clothed shoots and draped drawings that I absolutely love but at the end of the day my goal as a model is to be the canvas/clay a part of the whole, I don’t want the bulk of my images to be just a picture of a pretty girl. That’s why I love the bodyscapes and figure sessions, and also why I love playing with lights”
