Sunrise Life - beyond skin deep conversations with freelance nude models

Diana Jean - Passion for justice & equality, Seattle photog’ gets naked at shoot, life balance

Superbly unapologetic on her passion for equality and politics, Diana has become a resource for valuable information through the stories on instagram. She knew she wanted to be creative her whole life, and she has stayed true to her authentic self in doing so. 14 years of her life Diana has modeled a variety of niches: including acting for major films and in mainstream commercials through an agency, as well as freelance modeling for photographers she has found online. 
Diana thrives off of working with people who are uniquely inspired, and loathes the "cute girl turning in circles getting naked" type work, and I agree with her on that!!! 
You can check Diana out on her website: https://www.dianajeanoliphant.com/
She also shoots reference packs of nude and lingerie self portraits for artists, check those out here: https://www.dianajeanoliphant.com/store

Astrid Kallsen - Passion, Agency Standards, Enduring a Panic Attack on Tour

Astrid Kallsen is a majestic muse that has turned her passion into her career. It was really interesting to learn that she just happened into modeling for photographers initially to document her blue hair. She loved that creative process so much that she pursued it! 
From artistic nudity to fantasy fashion, underwater and more! Astrid will work with anyone whose motivations come from a creative heart. She is also a talented photographer, and has helped new learning photographers with their gear and settings on many of her shoots. 
The story of the progression of her career is very fascinating and inspiring!! And that experience with the drunk stylist will have you ripping your hair out with sympathetic frustration.

Taylor White - Mourning Death of a Photographer, Freelancing since 16, Labeled plus size by catalog company

Taylor White's life story is rather shocking (and inspiring at the same time!) She was emancipated at age 16 and started her own business selling clothing, and modeling those clothes to market them. Taylor has suffered hardships of a rocky life, yet she remains positive and creative and keeps her head up, always looking forward to the next tour where she can collaborate with new and interesting people. 
Her passion for maintaining strong friendships with people along the road has helped her in times of need. She has had her fair share of INSANE stories that she freely shares (while my jaw was dropping!!!) as well as hear touching experience mourning the death of a beloved friend and photographer, Bob Robichaud.

Jessa Ray Muse - Blacklisted photographers, the ”camel toe” ”compliment”, being a mom, & rising from being outcast by popular models

Jessa Ray is controversial to the traveling nude model scene- but the reason for that might seem a bit odd... You have to listen to the episode to find out! 
A mom of two with a devoted husband, Jessa has been modeling full time since the summer of 2021, but has a total of 11 years of modeling experience. She started her creative freelance life as a hola hooper - active in events and street performing. 
Getting turned down and outcast by popular models did not seem to stop her, and Jessa now has turned her desire for multi-model collaborations into a photoshoot excursion business called Muses of the West (check it out here: www.jessaraymuse.com/workshops-events/ )
