INTERVIEW WITH A LIFE MODEL - SHORT VIDEO INTERVIEW

In my spare time I paint. I use oil paints on canvas and I tend to paint portraits - recently I have been hiring life models and creating large paintings with them. One model I met recently was Chi Chi, who said she was up for an interview - so I filmed her in my studio talking about life modelling and how Chi Chi started.

I love Chi Chi’s demeanour when talking so I’m grateful to her for being so open about the subject. I filmed Chi Chi using an Fx6 and Fx3, and we set her up like she was being drawn (which she was, by me).

I’ve made two final edits - one for Youtube which is censored and one for other platforms.

You can see the censored version here on Youtube or the uncensored version below.

I had taken a little break from filming my own videos - I have been a little busy bringing up a now one year old little boy. But I now have many plans to produce a wide range of documentaries and videos. Keep an eye out on my YouTube Channel to keep up to date!
