Wanstead House, London, 30 June 2013

After a charity skinny dip, a naked bike ride and a one-off photo project, I returned to the bread and butter of life modelling at Wanstead House. I’d previously modelled there on Wednesday evenings, so a weekend morning shift was something new.

It was a genuinely lovely group – seven artists – a pleasure to work for on a beautifully warm summer’s day. The room was flooded with natural light, the windows were cast open and a gentle breeze kept the conditions comfortable throughout.

Most importantly the artists seemed happy with the session. A fifteen minute standing pose was followed by forty-five minutes seated, then a half-hour social tea break, and a finally thirty minute reclining pose to finish.
