I'd actually probably do this. I guess with the nude modelling... after the first time it'd be alright. Not sure I'd be able to go out there the first time though!

Im going to apply (at least try!) for modelling has i would like to try it out. However the company im posting i want to know if its legit, it mentions you pay some fee talentmanagement.com.
I wouldnt/couldnt do nude modelling though due to an health issue in the summer where i needed surgery, but could do general clothing modelling.
Would this affect them taking me on or can you choose not to do an assignment if you dont feel comfortable doing it?. Many thanks everyone, any tips appreciated.:beer:

Most colleges don't hold sessions at the weekend. Evening work is sometimes available. If you mean Photographic modelling, try browsing sites such as Purpleport, Net Model and Purestorm to get an idea of what is involved. Don't expect to get paid straight away, experience and a reasonable portfolio will get you to that point. Beware of any agencies that charge fees for pictures. The good ones usually sort some for you and take the costs out of earnings rather than make you pay up front. If in doubt, ask on any of the Photo forums for advice.

Although colleges don't run weekend classes, there are often art groups who meet to draw.
Might be worth looking in local art centres.

How still do you actually have to sit? I know if I even have to ask then life modelling probably isn't for me, but I'm still curious.

I'd be interested in this but scared too. I had a mastectomy 6 years ago and my left breast is.... different!

Plus a 12 inch scar running across my stomach... with corners!! I know the majority are saying that 'uglies' are more interesting but would this be acceptable do you think?
