Matthew Granger’s Nudes in Public with Tomlifemodel

I did a photoshoot recently with talented Australian photographer Matthew Granger, who travels the world for locations and models in his search for wonderful art nude imagery. Here’s a sneak-peak of one of the images of me and four women – we are all different but all share a committment to Matt’s campaign to make photographic art nudity as acceptable as the “traditional” art nudes of drawing, painting and sculpture.

Matt is currently raising funds to publish his new book Public Bodies (featuring public nude photography from all over the world), on kickstarter. He is close to his target but needs a bit more to succeed. See his explanatory video at:

Tomlifemodel by Simon Dunstan

I posed for Simon Dunstan, an artist from south London, who had been commissioned by a private collector to paint a nude male portrait to hang as a companion piece to a print of  Lucien Freud’s “Benefits Supervisor”, below.

The pose was set in consultation with the lady who commissioned it, who attended the first session.

We worked at the Dulwich Art Group, which Simon helps to run at The old Scout Hut, Greendale, Dulwich SE22 8TX. The group is open to artists of all abilities, with help available for those who want it. Models are usually booked for three sessions, one a week, holding a long pose and there are other sessions offered too. See the website at:

Here are some images showing the pose, set-up and the progress of the painting:
