I take pleasure in collaborating with local models for both art and photography projects. Our primary creative hub is the Linn Studio at the Triton Museum in Santa Clara, an immersive and inspiring space.
In the realm of Art Modeling, we conduct weekly sessions where artists have the opportunity to paint or draw from live models. More information can be found in the Art Modeling FAQ below.
For Photography Modeling, I organize monthly sessions featuring models (usually 2 models and 4-5 photographers). These sessions involve setting up multiple scenes and lighting arrangements within the studio, providing a conducive environment for photographers and models to enhance their skills and artistic growth. Additionally, we venture to various locations around the Bay Area for specific projects. Further details can be found in the Photography Modeling FAQ below.
Beyond the South Bay Art group, I frequently hire models for diverse projects, including portrait and figure paintings, as well as private photoshoots. One aspect of my photography journey involves learning the craft by recreating photographs taken by my favorite artists. I find joy in understanding the lighting techniques and artistic approaches employed to achieve specific effects.
