Light Modeling – Web Newsletter & Update
Periodically updated by Avid with scheduling, announcements, and general info
NEWS & UPDATES
Platform & Scheduling
Changes
After my March/April
session surge I had a little pause, but am resuming live
online open sessions in May with a couple changes!
· All my sessions will be via
Zoom Meetings. I enjoyed aspects of using Yondo for a full year but am making
the switch for budgetary and feature reasons.
The group interaction capability on Zoom is sometimes needed, and they
meanwhile have made some improvements that I think will enable me to provide a
video stream of similar quality to Yondo’s.
· Concurrently I’m trying a ticketing platform so artists can self-register
and securely pay for my events. It also allows me to offer things like free
trial access or other options. I’ll provide a unique
registration link for each event listing in this newsletter, DCAMC calendar,
and elsewhere. Once you’ve registered for an event you
should receive an order confirmation with a unique Zoom link for the session.
· With occasional exceptions, scheduling
will be standardized to 3 sessions each month, with the same general session
types on the same days/times. As we enter the post-COVID period I’m hoping this will make planning a little easier while
still offering some affordable and creative sessions online. See the schedule section below for more
details! Each session will have unique
aspects and poses, with the same level of creative input and professional
lighting I am known for providing.
· I can also still be booked
for private or semi-private custom modeling sessions for an individual artist
or small group, either online or ‘in-person’ within the DC/Annapolis area. In
the warm months I certainly would consider outdoor photo shoots or
drawing/painting artists considering a plein air figure project. I will no longer have the Yondo “1-to-1”
scheduling feature, so for now these will need to be booked by direct coordination. Most weeks I have several feasible time slots
including days or nights, weekdays or weeknights. But availability
varies greatly so please inquire by email and we’ll
figure it out!
Artists’ Input Invited!
My goal is to bring variety
and creativity to my figure modeling, including different themes for planned
sessions. At the bottom of this newsletter is a table with a ‘menu’ of theme
titles and descriptions I can interpret. I keep adding to that list as ideas
evolve and pre-select a few options I will use to plan my next open modeling
sessions. I welcome hearing from artists anytime items from the menu that
interest them, or their own ideas/variations!
Email is usually best: avid44444@avidlightmodel.com (but omit all “4s” …just an
anti-bot trick)
MODELING SCHEDULE
Events open to artists interested in work or
practice with a life model. These are all events I am hosting and/or for which
I am modeling; see info for private bookings further below. Session-specific
details are included with each listing; additional general info and FAQs can be
found at the end of this newsletter.

DCAMC taking turns to interpret the month’s theme with their own pose and
creative style; typically 8-12 models participate!

May 15, 3:00-6:00pm EDT (1900-2200
UTC): Avid’s Theme Thing Third Saturday!
Theme:
Concept: WISP (034U) -- working with sheer fabrics, screens, lighting to
create ethereal, flowy, silhouetted, or diffused looks with the figure
Type:
Undraped professional male life model in uninstructed live session for practice
or work in figure drawing/painting. Attendees of any skill level are welcome
but should be age 18+ or have parental permission. Notice: session is approved
to be held in Zoom Meetings for educational purposes, with any nudity in that
context only (not sexually explicit or ‘adult’ content).
Plan:
Let’s have creative fun with diffusion! I will be planning
medium to long poses using a few different approaches to soften or alter the form,
such as with sheer materials and lighting effects, without obscuring all detail.
Goals range from a ghostly or ethereal look to playing with unusual shadows or silhouette
interacting with the solid figure in the scene. I hope to provide good challenges
for practice but also content you might use for an interesting, finished work. Specifics are still evolving; pose flow planned
so far (// = short break and/or scene change):
5x
2m warm-ups, 2x 5m // 10m, 15m // 25m // 25m // 50+m or to end, with a break
Platform:
Zoom. Attendees are not required to share identifying info, camera, or mic during
poses but are welcome to interact during set-up, breaks, or wrap-up.
Fee:
$20 requested or pay what you are able.

25, 9:30-11:30am EDT (1330-1530 UTC): PAAM
Tuesday Virtual Life Drawing
Theme: Long pose open life drawing session
hosted by Provincetown Art Association and Museum (PAAM)
Type: Undraped professional male life model
in uninstructed live virtual drawing/painting session hosted/moderated by PAAM
Plan: I’m honored
to again be the model for one of PAAM’s weekly virtual life drawing sessions. For
the Tuesday long pose sessions, I usually start with about 10 minutes of short
warm-up poses, then begin one long pose that will be sustained to end of session
(with breaks about every 20m). These are
sessions are uninstructed, but the PAAM folks do a nice job hosting and helping
attendees. There are usually various skill levels and I select the setup and
poses to help add variety. These morning
sessions have a nice vibe and attract a great mix of artists.
Platform: Zoom (NOTE: PAAM activates the session by 9:00
or 9:15 EDT and we start promptly at 9:30 so it’s best to plan to join the
meeting a little early)
Fee: $10 (PAAM also offers pre-purchase of
multiple sessions)
Registration: Please see PAAM’s website for more info and to

May 27, 7:00-10:00pm
EDT (2300-0200 UTC): Avid’s Fourth
Thursday Night Theatrics!
Theme:
Somber lighting and impactful poses for whole and partial figure sculpting
effects
Type:
Undraped professional male life model in uninstructed live session for practice

but should be age 18+ or have parental permission. Notice: session is approved
to be held in Zoom Meetings for educational purposes, with any nudity in that
context only (not sexually explicit or ‘adult’ content).
Plan:
A little drama balanced with a chill-out vibe for a night of practice and work with
the figure. Grab an adult beverage or soft drink, dim
the lights, and be ready to create and/or just enjoy some art therapy! Session will offer a variety of whole figure
and closer-cropped views, and different pose durations including a couple long-ish ones. No complicating props or costuming, but interesting
poses should combine with low-key lighting to provide plenty of complexity just
with the figure. Pose flow planned so far (// = break ~5m):
5x
2m warm-ups, 2x 5m // 10m, 15m // 10m, 15m // 20m // 25m // 30+m to end, with
stretch break
Platform:
Zoom. Attendees are not required to share identifying info, camera, or mic during
poses but are welcome to interact during set-up, breaks, or wrap-up.

PRIVATE BOOKINGS
ONLINE/VIRTUAL
Private appointments cost a little more than pre-scheduled open sessions but allow you as artist to choose your own scheduling, pose flow, and details within my abilities. There are two basic types available.
Individual Session. Best for a single artist, or up to three co-located artists sharing one computer or device to display the model view. (Participation of more than artist in a 1-to-1 sessions requires my awareness and authorization in advance).
Please email me to check my calendar availability, pricing, and to book me.
Private Group or Class. When scheduling allows, I can be booked for one or more sessions to model for schools, classes, private groups, or events needing a figure model during online sessions. If you are the model coordinator, moderator, or organizer of such a group feel free to inquire. I’m happy to pre-coordinate specific instructional goals or needs you may have or suggest a session framework. ‘
IN-PERSON
I am now available for
in-person modeling bookings in the Washington D.C./Annapolis/Baltimore area, or
further if travel arrangements are agreed. I have been fully vaccinated against
COVID-19, but happy to follow ongoing precautions for others’ sakes as needed.
If I am available and capable of the modeling work needed, I can attend
sessions as short as two hours or up to multiple days. In-person bookings can
be made by individual artists, schools, or groups working in painting, drawing,
sculpture, or photography. This availability generally covers the Washington
DC/Annapolis/Baltimore area without travel charges; more distant assignments
will be considered depending on feasibility and compensation for travel time
& expenses.
In-person bookings and rates
are based on specific availability and agreement to be coordinated, so please
contact me to inquire. Don’t hesitate to inquire about any sort of idea or project.
Particularly while the pandemic is active, my agreement to model on an
in-person basis depends on confidence that essential precautions are being
practiced.
GENERAL INFO / FAQs
ONLINE SESSION INFO, RULES &
ETIQUETTE
PENDING
MY SCREENSHOT/PHOTO/RECORDING RULES
and REFERENCE PHOTO AVAILABILITY
Modeling work
is a type of intellectual property, has privacy considerations, and there are
important reasons to preserve the “life” in life modeling. Like most
professional art models, I do *not* by default allow artists to take screen
shots (either on the device or by photographing their screen) during live
sessions. Exceptions are sometimes made
so you are welcome to ask.
As this is part
of our livelihood, we also tend to protect the notion that our modeling imagery
has value (else you would not be using it!) – so we typically offer reference
photos for a small fee. For most
sessions, with a little notice I can create still images and them available to
you shortly after the session for continued work on particular
poses. Typical rates are $5 for a ‘screen quality’ version (using the
same webcam as the live stream), or $10 for a higher quality and resolution
version made with a DSLR. It’s important to let me
know during a live session or very soon after if this is something you’d like,
so the images can be made while the setup is intact, and the pose is fresh in
mind.
WHY ARE SOME SESSIONS 18+ AND
SOME ARE NOT?
Zoom sessions
marked 18+ do not contain any pornographic, sexually explicit, or ‘adult’
content. Some sessions do involve full nudity artistic contexts for figure
drawing/painting work or practice, however. As noted, attendees to these
sessions must be age 18+ or have had parental permission sent to Avid in
advance of the session. This is simply to avoid surprises or offending anyone’s
sensibilities.
PAYMENT/TIP OPTIONS
You do not need
a PayPal account to pay for events or services for which a ‘shopping cart’ or
self-registration has been set. But for accepting tips, donations, or separate
transactions I have a few other payment options. You do need an account to use
these:
- PayPal (use
web address paypal.me/avidlight1)
- Venmo (to
Avid-Light) – smartphone app
- CashApp ($AvidLight)
– smartphone app
SHARING/SOCIAL MEDIA
I always
appreciate it when artists share works in progress or projects that they
completed based on my modeling services. I also respect artists’ wishes about
further sharing, so please let me know if you wish my usage to be limited (for
example “portfolio use OK with artist credit, but no social media”).
Likewise,
although sharing photographic screen grabs etc. is a no-no, it is almost always
acceptable to share work you did in other media (drawing, painting etc.) from
my modeling work in your portfolio or social media shares. Tagging my model name is appreciated. If in doubt, just ask (especially
if you think the content is sensitive).
