Sunrise Life - beyond skin deep conversations with freelance nude models

Julia Wagner - Crazy bunker guy’s Triangle Pubes cult, Modeling with impressive scar,

Julia is such an inspiring human! Don't let her cute doe eyes fool you, she has way more life experience than you would expect! Julia exposed what it's like becoming a model after she survived life threatening cancer as a young teenager. Now her perspective on life is that everything is a blessing. So many others who have been scarred and maimed have reached out to her about the scar she shows in her modeling images, and so Julia has these unique connections with war survivors and other trauma survivors who see themselves in her modeling work. 
Julia is not defined by her past, despite what she has survived she is extremely hilarious and fun to talk to. Her craziest story about a photographer in an underground bunker just got weirder and weirder as she told it to me! Listen to the episode to find out what happened there...

Angelina - Waterboarded with milk, Body sizes and art, Her features with Dr. Phil, Miley Cyrus & more

I was so nervous and excited to interview Angelina Duplisea, aka @AnActingAngel from IG. Her art nudes on instagram had drawn me to her social media page, particularly her work with Sylvie Blum. It wasn't until I was preparing to do our call thatI discovered Angelina had been featured in MANY mainstream platforms with celebrities like Dr. Phil & Miley Cyrus (and many more, look her up!)
Our conversation progressed from the superficial - body shapes and sizes - to more niche in depth rabbit trails, like the atmosphere of modeling in LA, how she came from a troubled past and made her way to the Hollywood scene, and the crazy things she has endured, and the wild art scenarios with celebrities and known artists she has been a part of (including bondage suspension, getting waterboarded with milk and cherries, and more!) 
I truly enjoyed my conversation with Angelina and I hope we can be connected in the future as well.

Muirina Fae - Are we passionate if we’re being paid? Male art nudes, Social anxiety in non-nude-friendly environments

Muirina Fae is a beautiful traveling nude model from Eastern Europe. As I got to know her through this podcast recording, I felt I related to her so much! She always felt like an outcast or "the weird kid" in high school, and that social anxiety crossed over into her 20s while working at some non-modeling jobs, before she went full time. 
Muirina clearly feels welcomed and fulfilled in the nude art community! There's something about being comfortable in our skin and using it for artistic purposes that brings us together. 
So many unique perspectives came up while we were talking, male nudity, dick picks, sexual assault while working abroad, and of course her doozey of a photoshoot fail story!!

Darian Leyce - Mega drama, surprise threesome at a workshop, We fought the same octopus!

Unfortunately Darian's first two years in the modeling industry have been tainted by unnecessary drama- let's all reach out to her with kind words of encouragement to show her what the love in our community can really be like! 
I recently met Darian at a group event (Muses in Wonderland) and had the chance to photograph her and make friends. This was her first ever podcast! We discovered we have fought with the same giant stuffed octopus in Pennsylvania, there is a photographer/ videographer there who has a fascination for that...
Darian also wanted to share an experience that traumatized her... she had to use her words carefully for fear of being sued... but to me it sounded like a sexually coercive workshop where she was expected to perform a surprise threesome! The aftermath resulted in toxic gossip and a massive witch-hunt targeting her on facebook. 
Darian is very talented and very sweet, she has lots of dance experience and she is already making her full time income from freelance modeling within her first two years in front of the camera!
Check her out and tell her I said hi on instagram!! https://www.instagram.com/darianleyce/

Floofie- Nudity expanded her career, crazy freezing 2am piano ghost cave shoot, side passions

Floofie is a veteran model who was one of my main inspirations to pursue full time nude modeling. She started out modeling fashion and decided she wanted to try nudity, since her height seemed to affect her paying opportunities in fashion. 
Floofie goes into detail on a super wild story of a music video shoot late at night in a lava tube cave in the mountains. We also share our experiences about freezing cold shoots and out policies about the cold. 
Learn what it was like for her to bear a child while modeling, and how her career progressed through the pandemic and other life challenges. 
Floofie paints and does makeup artistry as well!

Amelia Simone - Prefers nudity over lingerie or fashion, Semi-retired from modeling, Airline drama, and the love of light!

Amelia is one of the old school freelance model veterans of our era. She knew from early in her career that she preferred to create nude art over any fashion or lingerie glamour, and it shows! Over the years I have linked up with Amelia in different parts of the country at photo events, we reminisced about some noteable events (the quirky, the creepy, and the awesome!)
Amelia has been modeling long enough to have nurtured some amazing friendships with many of the photographers who hire her. We talked quite a bit about how sad we are when a photographer we've worked with many times is reported to have passed away. 
I really enjoyed catching up with Amelia on the phone, she may come out of retirement! (crosses fingers!) Check Amelia out on IG: https://www.instagram.com/_modelamelia_/ 

Ayeonna Gabrielle - Workaholism as a trauma response, photographer entered her bedroom and crossed the line

For 25 years old Ayeonna seems incredibly self aware! Modeling and traveling brings her joy, but it's also an escape for her to indulge in, as she is perpetually running from something within her. Ayeonna really opens up to the point of tears in part of this episode. I felt extremely honored to have this talk with Ayeonna, and so grateful that she trusted me to be so vulnerable in this interview. 
She also recalls a fucked up story where a hosting photographer entered her room and she woke up to him touching her, startling her! Listen to this episode and follow Ayeonna on Instagram!

Lillias Right - Curvy Non-binary Hottie, Malicious posting of erotica, fart humor, being true to onesself

Lillias escaped a Morman upbringing and has found happiness. Self expression through modeling and photography has been healing for them. We reminisced about our international travels, then Lillias shares a crazy fucked up story about a predatory photographer who coerced them into creating explicit photos for his "private collection" That photographer blackmailed Lillias, causing extreme stress in Lillias' personal life. 
Listening to Lillias describe their education in gender identity and human sexuality is a journey into their own self actualization. After knowing Lillias for so long, and now witnessing their self discovery has allowed me to become a more open minded person as well. 
Lillias and I both share a bond over loving fart humor, so you're welcome.
