Today's Journal Prompt from the Submissive Guide asks me to reflect on "What activity that you engage in involves all of you; mind, body, and soul?" For me, this would be modeling. I started modeling again a few years ago after taking a very long time off. Having my ex use my modeling pictures against me made modeling unappealing for me. When I stepped in front of the lens again, though, I was immediately transported to a place that I cannot explain in just a few words.
This question, however, encapsulates the feeling that I have while I'm modeling. While I'm posing - whether it be sitting, standing, laying or whatever, my mind, body and soul are taken to a place where it is just me in a fog - a cloud - an unreal plane where nothing else in the world around me exists. Honestly, the photographer isn't even there but slightly just a voice telling me occasionally what poses to move my body into, outfits to change into and/or changes to make to poses that I have made.
It's been a few years since I started modeling again and I've done quite a few boudoir setups, some clothed, a couples water shoot, mostly local, seven shoots in Hawaii, one in a creek (the water shoot), and have worked with quite a few photographers. I love being back in front of the lens again and enjoy seeing the different art that photographers create. I would love to explore more - when I have time - just so I can feel that high.
