Something to muse on...
Added 2023-11-05 06:19:52 +0000 UTCDefinition: a person, or an imaginary being or force that gives someone ideas and helps them to write, paint, or make music.
There are stories across the ages of people becoming a muse for artists. It's not something I've ever experienced where one person becomes a huge source of inspiration but I do know that there have been models I would work with any time and we would comfortably explore almost any idea.
Several of my models have been in front of my camera several times. After our first collaboration for Lost Pirates almost exactly seven years ago, Charlie has gone on to model for me on at least four more occasions across even more downloads and three of my exhibition images. Jim and I only collaborated for the first time in January last year and we have worked together five times for six downloads as well as the exhibition image.
I take great pride in the fact that a lot of my models have come back for more because they felt safe and had a great time.
Would I ever see myself focusing on a muse? Probably not in the strict sense. Charlie would have to be one of the most fearless and creative models I've ever worked with and I know I could suggest just about anything and he'd give it a try, but I very much doubt I'd ever focus a large amount of time just one one model exclusively. You never know.
