RAM's SUSIE MASON!

Susie Mason of  The Register of Artists' Models is doing really well since starting a new career via RAM!

Her latest report:

My portrait called "The Ageing Dancer" has been chosen to be in the window, at the Alpha Gallery, 23 Cork Street, £7,500 just in time for Christmas shoppers as is behind Bond Street.  It is also featured in European newspapers and magazines and the artist Michele Del Campo will speak on Spanish TV.  I have told him about Modelreg being a great place to look for new models when he needs for a future project. Usually he chooses models by spotting them in the shopping centres, on the beach etc etc (!) but its always good to have a new contact.

Life Modeling During Covid Crisis - Update

Dear models and artists First of all a HUGE thank you to those who have continued to support us during these difficult times. You have no idea how appreciated it is and how much it means to us. Thank you so much! Also, thank you to all those who have taken the time to write in and tell me what you are going through, how you are being affected and what you are doing about it. After a very hard initial few months, there seems to be a bit of light at the end of the tunnel. Schools and educational institutes are certainly readying themselves and putting measures in place to start again in September. Also, a lot of artists and photographers are taking the opportunity, during summer, to run outdoor sessions. Make the most of it - and anyone who isn't - please at least consider it. Life models don't have to be nude, they just have to be present! Now that restrictions have eased a little,  some small indoor classes are taking place, with suitable safety precautions in place,

Life Modelling During the Coronavirus Crisis

I know many models are struggling and wondering what will happen to life modelling jobs. First of all, if any of you are having issues with tutors or artists about not being paid for work you have been booked for, please let me know. I'll do what i can to help. Artists are in the same boat, don't forget. The arts  industry is being decimated by this awful virus. One piece of long awaited good news is that the self employed will now receive 80% of their earning averaged over the last 3 years. There are basic details here  https://www.gov.uk/guidance/claim-a-grant-through-the-coronavirus-covid-19-self-employment-income-support-scheme?fbclid=IwAR0sq-i3tQ9Cs57ESpnOjp3T6ea4r2nDoC5h_zkdqC09sgt1JkbFiCMN4hg#how-to-apply    and you should all also be emailed by HMRC. Basically, it's saying we can't apply yet and they will let us know when we can. Can you please let me know if this will help you and what you are doing meanwhile. I know many of you have other jobs,

One of our Models Writes of his Experience ...

What RAM means to me, by Dominic Blake: I have been life and portrait modelling for just over a year, and am now a full time life model, having left a conventional job to pursue my dreams of immersing myself more intimately within the artistic community.  I would like to take a brief moment to write about what being a member of RAM means to me. My first port-of-call on deciding I wanted to be a Life Model was the excellent Register of Artists Models' website, which provides a wealth of information and advice both for people who are new to Life Modeling and also for experienced Life Models.  I devoured all of their articles and blog posts, and took the decision that once I was in a position to approach my career in a serious way, I would register for membership.   Soon after becoming a provisional member, I auditioned in London within a formal RAM Life Drawing class led by a very friendly and knowledgeable tutor, working with a female Life Model to recreate poses from
