Eastbourne House, London, 2 September 2013

Amidst a scattering of performance work, the life model bookings continue arriving in unprecedented numbers.

A prior commitment had prevented me accepting a short-notice booking with Adrian Dutton’s Thursday group in Bethnal Green last month. Happily this had not ruled me out of future consideration, and I was able to accept a booking for his Monday group last week with just four hours’ notice.

I wasn’t the only model able to accept the late call-out, so the session became duo work Henry – a younger, altogether fitter male life model. The artists were presented with a choice of body types and took full advantage of both.

Having not expected to be modelling when I left home for work that morning, I was without my sheet, dressing-gown and camera. The latter, disappointingly, meant I could not capture the fine works produced on the evening.

My next work for Adrian’s groups will be on 18 September and 11 November… and with any luck there may be a short-notice opportunity or two in between. Long may they come.
