Stoke Nudington, Nude York or NuDelhi; this Summer is about stripping off.
Ursula had tried to contact me about modelling with Spirited Bodies – she is a life model, artist and performance poet. I had clearly been busy. Serendipity lined us up however as Ron double booked us yesterday and we got networking in the nude. The Portobello artists had a rare treat!

A beautiful occasion we wanted to remember; a most auspicious meeting!
I found Ursula very relaxed and open, it was easy to feel cosy together straight away
We chatted a bit in pose, and got to planning some nude action!
It was wonderful to have some of that experience models at Spirited Bodies get through sudden yet somehow natural intimacy
The stillness and relative quiet sort of make up for what might otherwise feel unnatural, i.e. those conditions give you a chance to breathe and settle with the new company so close and nude
