RAM model, Clifford Allison, sent us this description of his recent tv experience! My turn for a TV stint today - a life modelling session filmed for television. It lasted 2 hours (eventually!) with a half hour break in the middle for the 2 groups of artists to complete separate questionnaires. This was all a staged subterfuge on the 20 artists there, who believed they were attending a televised life modelling session. Well, they were, but that was not the point of the programme, which was a scientific exercise to observe what they ate during the break! I'm not sure how that part went but I was pleased with the session, especially the spontaneous applause the tutor and I got from the artists at the end. The programme is called ' Secret Eaters ' (sic) and, provided none of the guinea pigs object, it will air on Channel 4  on 16 May 2013.

Congratulations RAM models Robert McBride and Simon Joseph, who star in Rose Productions' short file " Rose " It will be released next year. Well done, guys!

Hello, all you life drawing tutors and artists out there To those of you who already belong to the Register of Artists' Models , a big thank you. Our models appreciate all the work you put their way. To all artists, please note that the website is very largely driven by how many ads are appearing. So, the more ads that go up, the more models join, thus giving you more choice of life models. It would help us greatly if, as well as contacting models directly, you could put up an ad whenever you are looking for a model. It's free! And you don't have to belong to RAM to advertise, although this is under review. Use this link to put up ads.

Just a thought from Sarah King ( RAM model). I enjoy being able to pick up artists tips on how to draw 'me'!!!!! Learning whilst earning!

What can I say .  Watch out for   a;draughts , b; tutors who are easily confused and forget to book you or forget they have booked you, c;students who expect to see only female models ,  d;easels can be very dangerous if placed too close  and finally heaters that switch themselves off when they think the room is warm enough! Love & Laughter Philip Herbert x (RAM model )

I'd like to tell you what happened when I was practising and preparing poses. Several photos were taken and reviewed over several days. Suddenly I noticed 'an orb' to my right. Strange to have missed it before as it is so prominant. Six of the many photos taken that day, were found to have orbs of some description, but many did not. The first one that was noticed was the one that was sent to the RAM listing.  I had heard of these orbs but had no experience or knowledge. Naturally an investigation was started and I now believe, (there is, at present, nothing conclusive,) that these are balls of energy of some sort, which absorb flashlight and expel it at a reduced wavelength. The digital camera, being an electronic recording device, can pick up 'near infra-red' light. Experiments have shown these orbs to be consiousnesses of some sort; could be beings, thought forms, nature spirits etc. I have had fun directing my camera up into the da...

The watchwords for our models are competence, conduct and reliability. We are the premier register for life models in the UK. All our models are auditioned or referenced.
