about Vieille Modele
Female
I am what is euphemistically known in the modeling world as a 'mature model'. In other words, I'm old(er). After being passed over by many of the same art photographers whom I've watched routinely shoot with my younger peers and experiencing outright age discrimination by others (yes, I have stories), I got sick of it and made the decision to no longer apologize for my age. My model name is meant to be a metaphorical 'finger in the eye' to all those who prefer to only shoot with models in their 20's, as if somehow talent and beauty is solely the purview of the young. It's sad that these photographers' creative vision is so self-limited - why? Because my life experience actually brings a LOT of added value to the creative table.
A bit of background about me: I came to the art world after a long white collar career. I got fired in 2017 because my employer found out I was modeling nude on my own time evenings and weekends. According to my boss, my art work was 'an embarrassment to the organization'. So be it. After losing my white collar job, I decided not to return to a field that made me miserable and haven't looked back since. Instead, for the past six years I've worked to create beautiful art with my talented creative partners with the same high standards of excellence that I sought in my career.
If you would like to work with me, please note that my rates are industry standard for a very experienced model and are on par with those of my pro peers (as a full-time traveling model, creative director and self-supporting artist, please note that I am unable to accept offers of TF).
I own an extensive selection of elegant wardrobe and lingerie and will curate custom looks specifically to fit your concepts; I also provide a range of props and accessories. After you book me, I will ask to schedule a video or voice call to meet you and discuss our shoot, and I am always happy to spend time reviewing your mood boards to ensure we are on the same page with respect to your vision. I take the investment of your time and resources seriously and will dedicate 110% of my best effort to helping you realize your artistic concepts.
Please feel free to inquire about my rates and booking policies, I'd be happy to chat with you about the concepts you have in mind to shoot with me.
Regards,
Ann

Your portfolio is absolutely wonderful! 👏
Sincerely appreciated, thank you! Perhaps we can shoot together the next time I visit Charlotte.
Its my pleasure. I would be absolutely honored to create with you! Please let me know when you plan to be in north carolina and we can discuss concepts.
Ann, you look remarkably like another beautiful "mature" model from New York state that I worked with a couple of years ago. Coincidence, am I just imagining things, or are you a new version of a past model?
Anyways, love the name and play on words, but you are not antique, you are beautiful! 🙂
Thx for the connection Ann! Let me know when your Portland dates come together.
I absolutely will, thank you!
Thank you so much for the follow Ann. Your backstory is inspiring and your portfolio is gorgeous.
Love your attitude and backstory. Your images exude a calm confidence of one who is truly happy in her own skin, as well you should be.
Thank you for following me. You have a beautiful portfolio and I would love to work with you!
Your portfolio is a beautiful representation of your craft. Love it!
Lovely portfolio Ann, admire your work, and your stance.
Thank you - I'm too determined and too stubborn to take 'No' as an answer, lol!
I'd love the chance to work with you, if the opportunity presents itself!
I'm happy to see that you're featured by Model Society.
Your work is always inspiring and lovely.
