About me:

I work primarily in figure modeling, both for Ringling College of Art & Design and also at large in the Sarasota area, but I am quite interested in photography and acting (visual or voice) related work.

I am a performance oriented individual and I take my work seriously. I always want to do the best possible work any Artist, Photographer, Instructor or Student and I would extend and expect fair, professional treatment in any form of collaboration.

Goals in this forum are:

To maintain a positive reputation and further my progress in figure modeling endeavors.

To expand into acting and voice over work in the narrative, instructional or comedic genres.

To expand into Photographic Areas of Modeling for:
- Collegiate Figure & Anatomy Instruction
- Fashion & Runway Publications
- Nudes & Artistic Nudes

Vision as a Figure Model:

"To Serve as an Aid to the Instructor,
A Tool to the Student,
and to Exemplify How to Imbue the Virtues of the Fine Arts".

Acceptable Methods of Compensation:

Monetary: Cash, Check or Electronic Deposit.

TFP/TFCD/TF*

I accept paid assignments with only limited TF work for which I would require a Mutual release, no exceptions.

I am flexible on terms and will normally negotiate them on a case specific basis.

Payments for one-time modeling sessions should be completed at the end of each session excepting agreements for ongoing or recurring sessions related to a particular class, project, or portrait. Telling me that you'll have a check for me in the future is NOT acceptable.

Patrick Benjamin

Patrick was also part of Courtney's Homeless shoot and took these stills while Courtney was shooting the project stills.

Personally, I laugh when I see them, so I liken these to satire.

Here's another Satire:

The Flagrant Vagrant Florida Cracker

Note the striking continuity of form when comparing this frame against the previous still.
Breathtaking..!!
