My motivatio...Perhaps I need to clarify something.<br /><br />My motivation for the work I do - whether modelling or performing - is not money. It never has been. If I were motivated by money, I would have ditched both these careers long, long ago, and taken up something 'sensible' to boost my bank balance while continuing them as a hobby.<br /><br />I have, however, tried to make a living out of doing things I enjoy. If I can make a living from being creative, why on earth should I not aspire to do so? If I can spend my time doing things I love, and pay the bills, then that would be an ideal way to live my life. ('Ideal' being the operative word).<br /><br />There is no shame, if someone appreciates my efforts and wants to work me, in accepting payment for my time and the effort I put in. This applies to both walks of my life, and I am proud to have made a living for so long out of my combined interests.<br /><br />Equally, however, in both of my careers, I have put an incredible amount of time and energy into doing it for the love of it. I may have been paid for what I do, but there have been just as many occasions, both as a model and a singer/actress, that I have invested my time for the sake of it. <br /><br />With regard to my modelling, it makes no difference to me whether it is a paid shoot or not - my intention is, and always has been, to create beautiful, meaningful images. <br /><br />Many of the images on this blog were not created for profit. I don't differentiate between those that were, and those that weren't. Why would I? It is the same to me, whether I am paid or not, my goal is to create images that myself and the photographer are proud of.<br /><br />I am not 'quitting' modelling, I have said that I intend to continue - because I enjoy it - as and when I can. I have also said that I will have to cut down on the amount of time I spend doing it, because I simply can't afford to be available 24/7. That's life. Realistically, money gets in the way of our creative desires sometimes, but we can't bury our heads in the sand and pretend that material needs don't exist and don't need tending to. <br /><br />The work I have created as a paid model is created with no less integrity than the work I have created for the sake of creating it.<br /><br />You are mistaken if you believe I have been motivated by money, and also if you believe I am 'quitting' for the lack of it.ERosannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11732504532468740295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246842929286507326.post-57318817355224716272011-05-30T11:11:55.567-07:002011-05-30T11:11:55.567-07:00Good luck!

Doing it as and when I want to and knowing that paying my bills does not depend on it makes it possible to work only with those I want to work with.
