I’ve been literally naked modeling in life drawing classes and photography. In some ways modeling, specifically for photographers, was a perfect distraction–a way to avoid the doubts and struggles that would inevitably accompany pursuing my own art. As a model, I felt far less exposed, I was risking very little (artistically) on my part.
As the artist, I’m vulnerable. I feel far more exposed with my own art than I ever did nude in front of a camera or a room full of classmates. That may seem absurd but it’s the most accurate way I can explain ‘naked carly art’.
