A STUDY IN HUMAN MOVEMENT

Back then it was considered mostly a scientific study as well as an art study. Today the use will be for artists, art teachers and animators to study human motion in detail.

WHAT YOU WILL GET OUT OF IT
I can offer you a trade in exchange for about 30 minutes of modeling for this project I can do either of the following for you: headshots, promotional photos, shots for your website, fashion/catalog, photos of you doing your speciality (martial arts, dance, etc) or whatever else you need. I will spend up to two hours doing whatever type of photography you need. I have been a professional for 20 years so they will be high quality. I have a 10,000 sq. ft. studio with sets, props, lighting, etc.

In addition, you can have copies of the photos I take of you. (See samples below.)

OR.....

I can shoot an acting scene for you on High Def. I use a $200,000 camera and it will be full production value. I have directed three feature films plus commercials and music videos so it will be high quality and look like a scene from a real movie. Or I can shoot video of you doing whatever it is you do: swords, dance, martial arts, etc. I have done this many times and all models and actors have always been pleased with the results. See samples below.

The original models in 1896 were entirely voluteers dedicated to helping science and art. They were mostly students at the University, professors at the University, models from the art department, local athletes, employees and even the leading ballerina at the Philadelphia Ballet. They all recognized it was tasteful, dignified and in good taste even those they were entirely nude. (Imagine an ordinary person posing nude in 1896!)

You are welcome to bring a friend or spouse. Everything will be very professional and dignified. Female assistants will be present during the shooting.

This is from the original 1896 book:
