Ever Wondered What It Would Be Like to Model?
I’m Steve Gracy, a photographer here in Wichita. I’m looking for everyday women who are curious about trying artistic modeling. You don’t need any experience, and many of the women I’ve photographed had never modeled before.
Is This Right for You?
This is for women who are already comfortable being fully nude in front of the camera. If you’re unsure, that’s completely okay, but this isn’t the right fit yet. To be honest and fair to us both: pay and images are for a completed session only. If a session ends early, there’s no pay and no images, and every image from it is deleted and never used, so please only apply if you’re sure. You can always stop, and there are never hard feelings.
What I Shoot
My work ranges from artistic boudoir to fine art nude. Sessions are fully nude, so please apply only if you’re comfortable with that. The focus is on light, shape and natural beauty, never anything crude.
How a Session Works
We always start fully clothed and work toward nude, creating several sets’ worth of images. Each set begins with an outfit, a background and a lighting idea, and we work the outfit off in stages, which gives us a wide range of options. Sometimes almost seeing everything is more enticing than seeing it all.
What to Bring
Just throw a bunch of outfit ideas in a bag, and we’ll pick what to use together during the session. Rule of thumb: if you think it might be fun to use in a shoot, toss it in the bag. I thrive on improvising, so I love being surprised by what you bring. It’s also how you add your own personality to the session, so it’s a creative outlet for you too. Bring the bag, and we’ll play.
Pay
For a completed 2-hour session, you choose:
- $100, paid at the end of the session, plus 2 edited images per outfit set, hand-picked by me, or
- No pay, but ALL the best images from the entire session. I spend about a week curating each outfit set down to the best, typically 30-50 images per set, and we usually shoot about 4 sets, so that’s often 100+ edited images.
Your Comfort and Safety Come First
- Let’s chat first. We’ll start with a casual chat session to get to know each other and answer your questions, so you know exactly what to expect. This is where I confirm you’re comfortable before we book, and either of us can decide not to book, no hard feelings.
- Bring someone. A friend or escort is always welcome.
- No pressure. You can say no to any pose, take a break or stop at any time.
- Private studio. Shoots take place in a private, comfortable studio setting.
Privacy
Your images will appear on my members-only site, stevegracy.com, and may also be shown in upcoming gallery shows, shared on social media, and sold as prints and printed products. Fully nude images will rarely, if ever, go on social media. By signing the release, you agree to all of these uses, so please only apply if you’re comfortable with every one. You can use a stage name or your first name only, and your full name and contact details are never shared.
Requirements
- You must be 21 or older, with a valid government photo ID.
- A model release form must be signed before the shoot. You’ll sign it online ahead of time and upload a photo of your government ID, plus a photo of you holding the ID. Your ID is stored privately and never shared.
Booking
No deposit is needed from you. Once we pick a date, I’ll confirm with you 48 hours ahead and again 24 hours ahead.
