Model

Modeling is kind of like acting I think. It requires an awareness of ones body and a kinetic memory. It's great to work with someone who who understands this. If I try too hard to cajole and prod a person into the right pose the results are rarely any good. Those wooden artist manikins come to mind. Everyone has them, but does anyone use them?

I've been fortunate to have found a great model for this project. Lauren has agreed to work with me over the next 6 - 9 months on an ad hoc basis for the portraits. So.. without further ado, I'd like you all to meet Lauren:
