What has happened to the models?

[Timothy C. Tyler]

Lisa, I've found a wide variety of folks end up modeling. Often the free thinking folks that feel comfortable about their bodies etc. are also the ones that don't eat meat or drink coffee. They are often very laid back. I actually like many of these folks better as people than as models.

I try to screen my models to some degree before the sessions, then I pay them well and expect that they work. They are often just kids, literally in some cases, but even college age is pretty youthful to me. The break schedule is related to the pose. I don't hire union models - and the truth is I've not seen that professional models are much better than relaxed amateurs.
