Most of us have had some sort of career prior to modelling and plenty of life experience, all of which can really help with both the business side of being a model and for calling up different emotions and expressions.
I in my previous lives have managed a high end high street jewellery shop, taught violin and piano and more recently ran and owned a small printing company, all of these experiences I know for sure help me now in what I am doing.
I of course wish I had started modelling a little earlier, starting in your mid 40's really does give you a limited shelf life, but with plenty of hard work I know I can continue for several more years.
One of the biggest hurdles you face is trying to convert some photographers into wanting to try the older model . They often complain that younger models let them down, have diva personalities or can portray little to no emotion, so why not try some one who is less likely to cause those problems. . It's also not true that once you have passed the age of 40 everything decides to travel south. I personally am in better shape now than I ever was in my 20's and 30's. I like exercise and have no problems in eating healthily That's not to say I haven't got my little guilty pleasures, good French red wine, ginger biscuits, tiramisu and Old Jamaica chocolate.
Today, I thought I would share with you an image from a shoot in Redditch. This would really be classed as an implied nude shot, not bad for an old bird eh lol !
