Essay Project: Models Response (Laura)

Providing Models a space to speak in their own words their experience modeling artistic nudes:

Model: Laura
(Age: 43, Mother of 2 kids, Regular Shoot: 3 times, Never shot nude before)

"My name is Laura Denise. I am fairly new to the modeling scene, I got into it a lot later than most. I am a 43 year old mom to 12 year old twins. I had a chance to model when I was younger but life happened and years passed but I am where I am now and grateful to have a second chance to live out my dream. When picking or accepting assignments I really look for projects that speak to my soul, projects that tap into my femininity and sexuality and showcase my body that I work hard at at my age to keep in shape. I had a chance when I was in college to shoot with Playboy and I really wish retrospectively I would have done it. I wish that I had some pictures when I was younger before having children. I highly encourage younger women to do this. The human body is a beautiful thing especially when portrayed in an artistic way which is what Howard does. I recently shot with Howard. I have never done nude or implied nude work before. I was apprehensive for a number of reasons. My friends all thought I was crazy at my age to even consider this!! Even though I am a fitness fanatic and in great shape, I have body concerns like all women do. I'm not gonna lie, exposing yourself in front of a complete stranger is kinda intimidating and downright scary! That being said, Howard made me feel comfortable every step of the way. Once I took my clothes off it really only took a few minutes to relax into the process. It was so liberating on so many levels and at one point, I forgot that I was nude! At the end of the day, I am SO glad that I did this shoot. I am glad that I didn't let fear get in the way of what ended up being a great experience. I am blown away at the images that Howard was able to capture. I had no idea I look the way I look. I am proud of the images, that is me captured forever on film from a moment in time out of my life...What an amazing gift to myself. I couldn't be happier. Thank you Howard, you are the best!"
