I’m a figurative fine art painter looking to hire female model(s) with a dance background for reference photographs. I’m working on a new series of figurative paintings that need to have some movement in them. This would be a shoot for reference photographs that I incorporate into surreal constructed photocollages to work from. There is no holding still and posting while I paint since I’m trying to capture movements/poses that can’t be held. This shoot will require some contemporary dance/improv skills- and I hope to have a bit of collaboration with a dancer during the process to develop some poses based on scenarios/emotions. Here is an example: http://bekkateerlink.com/?aa_piece=losing-gravity

Female models, all backgrounds
No nudity
2-3 hours at $40/hr, about $80-120 total, weekends preferred
Located at a professional artist studio (Vernon Street Studios, Somerville) but we could also shoot outdoors
