Shocking? Intriguing? Truth is stranger than fiction, or perhaps it is just more interesting. Whatever the case may be, model Isobel Wren has our attention. Miss Wren weaves many a tale and offers her musings on “modelography,” why the camera is not a third person, why shooting “sneeze fetish” is harder than it sounds, and oh so much more. So much more, in fact, that we had to split this interview into two delightful tidbits!

Self-described “hobbyist” model, Rachel Jay wants new models to know that you do not have to jump at every photo shoot that comes your way. In other words, just because they are handing out, does not mean you have to take it! That goes for photo proofs from photographers, too. Intrigued? Then you will love to know what she thinks about “spray and pray” photographers. The wisdom does not end there either! Rachel Jay is handing out all kinds of model photography know-how, and we are taking it!

The title of Max Xandaux’s music video, “Chameleon,” is an appropriate place to start with this self portrait artist and performing artist. While models and photographers often talk about creating characters or personalities as a mental frame of reference for photos, Max takes it to the next level and physically creates characters for his work. In this episode, we talk collaboration, team diversity and how far personality creation can go.

Model Hex Hypoxia is unique in a lot of ways. She sports a 22″ to 41″ waist to hip ratio, is clinically allergic to sunlight (she warns that you should not ask her if she sparkles), and has posed with a dead octopus. After reading that you might say that Hex is the alternative-alternative model. Intrigued? Then plug in an indulge in something delightfully different.

Do not fool yourself. A talented model is not a living action figure, ready to pose. A talented model brings expression to the shoot. A talented model adapts. Sometimes you even get lucky, and your model can make her own clothes and do her own makeup! Enter model Cordial Lee. In this episode, we talk multi-talents, marketability and the muse relationship.
