She's off to London soon to study but before she headed off she modelled for our most recent photoshoot at The Brighton Studio...

We were back in the Brighton Studio with Olly Hearsey this week shooting our new life, portrait and clothed photo-sets! In response to feedback we lit these slightly differently to recent sets, darkened the backgrounds and exploring a greater variety of angles on poses. We also quadrupled the photos in our sculpture poses to give a wider range of options for everybody who uses the rotations. We...

As any regular attendees at our online sessions will know, Adrian is an incredibly versatile and creative model. When we held our photoshoot for this set he belted out some many excellent poses in such a short amount of time that we ended up getting a bonus 20 minute tea break - always welcome in our intense shooting days! This set contains everything from playful, expressive poses ...

Like so many of our models Esme has a multitude of talents and interested (beyond staying very, very still), from competitive Taekwondo to playing the harp. In these photos from our original 2020 shoot we return the outfit also featured in Esme's portrait photo-set. Enjoy!

Back in the summer of 2017 the Drawing Circus was touring far and wide and on our return to Sussex we stopped off at the nearby Paddock Studio in Lewes. For anybody who doesn't know the well-to-do areas of the rural South East of England, the Lewesians have a subversive streak, with a history rebellious politic...

When he's modelling at the Draw studio Mat often arrives with a sports bags of props, from baseballs to plastic lightsabers. It was just the same when we shot our photo-sets - Mat arrived with his customary collection, including the magnifying glass pictured in the portrait here. As well as the magnifying glass poses we've included three portrait rotations in this set. Enjoy!

Inês embodies creativity. When she modelled for her first online life class she sent me a text before hand to ask 'Can I wear some make up for the session?'. 'Sure thing!' I replied. She arrived painted head-to-toe in blue and gold body paint, with red eye shadow and 100 fake eyes stuck to her back. After the session she pulled her dress back over the top and went out for coffee with ano...
