My partner and myself experimenting with photographic modelling.

Worked my first modelling job back in Melbourne yesterday.

Many thanks to the first year students (no work shown).

Was surprised to find myself on the wall of the drawing room, though…

First modelling job in Darwin, and first modelling job for 2026…

Many thanks to Pasquale Zuffrey for the amazing art.

There’s an artist in the community where I started. His contribution was outsized to being just one person.

He was known to some as “Mr Lifedrawing” though that should have been “Dr Lifedrawing”.

He died this morning.

He will be missed greatly.

Vale.

First two hour pose, May 2024.

This was a significant day - my mind stopped.

Some more poses from that first session.

In a nutshell, I’m ok with needing to lose weight (for health).

But I needed to see what others saw, because I saw something else in the mirror, which wasn’t at all healthy.

Sometimes art is healing.

Some other views of a 10 minute pose.

This is from the first session I posed for, again at ConFest. I was supported by Tara Sandie and it was a very personal session (that literally changed my life).

10 minute pose, which held the first chord from Eine Kleine Nachtmusik.

It turns out this is a *really* hard pose to hold. 1/2

I’m going to gradually add work as I pose for it.

Until then, this is some of my portfolio, probably in no particular order, but starting with the very first sessions I posed for.

This is the first session ever - two five minute poses drawn by Ian Calcutt at Easter ConFest 2024.
