Fixating
I’ve always said to myself (and too anyone who will kindly listen) that it’s too easy for artists to fall in love with their own work, and that it stops us (if you count a model as a sort-of artist) from being sufficiently critical. I wholeheartedly believe this, and yet, when I was looking through my pictures from the last few months, I realised I’ve fallen totally in love with one of my poses. Here it is, in various forms, by four different (and splendid) photographers.
I love it so much that I even tried posing it sideways on a wall (In Scott Brown’s picture). It is now time to MOVE AWAY FROM THE POSE and make up a new favourite. But I’m not sure if I’ll be able too, because I just love it too much. I think it works beautifully, but I think it’s been done as well as it can be by me now. Thanks everyone, for indulging me while I worked it out of my system 
Its certainly a beautiful pose in its own right, but what I like about the last one is that it looks like the beginning of some gymnastic movement, as if you’re about to stand on your hands or another similar move. There’s a really strong feeling that something’s about to happen in that one. I thnk its a result of the way you’re looking down and the way you’re holding your upper body.
Hi Joceline,
Lovely to read your blog. I especially like your favourite photographs. Hope we can do some beautiful pictures when we next meet – I have a few ideas but being an artist I suppose my thoughts are different to photographers. Bill
It is a great pose, and it’s got my musing -
is it common for fine art models to have a favorite, even
a trademark pose?
I’m not sure it’s possible, even desirable, to get something
out of the system,
but I’ll be fascinated to see what comes next
Many thanks for your superb work last week.
Keep us posted on your future ventures.
Yours,
Howard.
great portfolio !
OOh a blog
One can only love that pose, particularly “Preying Mantis” I think we all have to capacity to totally fall in-love with something that we create, I think all have the capacity or mostly all, are our own hardest critics at times too, if we weren’t we would not evolve as artists, which many of us do (subjective) but there is something rather nice about loving something that you create and running with it for a while to see how it can vary and indeed in some cases look totally different.
I think I have a variant of that poses ha ha, it,s cool!
Just found your blog. Incredible imagery and poses. I hope you continue to write and update often!
Lovely images, I can see why that is your favorite. As a painter, I loved looking over your portfolio on your web site. So many wonderful images.
Just found your site, wonderful pictures and prose. I was/am a fan of Ariel and now I find even more to appreciate. I look forward to this adventure that is Joceline.
aloha,
John
Some stunning images from a stunning woman. Have seen more of your work as Ariel but I shall be intrigued to see and read more of what happens on this site.
The top (mantis) image is very striking but the bottom is probably the most attractive (to me anyway)but it would seem that they have a somewhat submissive quality about them – perhaps also a sense of preperation.
thankyou for your time artistry and willingness to share………
Hi Joceline – all of your pictures are wonderful – I completely understand why you like looking at them – they seem to cross some line into a spiritual dimension – if that remark doesn’t sound too up-itself. I first discovered you on a screenwriting website through a short film you appeared in and was immediately interested enough to look you up. You should develop your acting more, you never know, you might be great at it. I’m a screenwriter and would love to have you read for a project some day. Keep up the great work.
A wonderful woman in amazing images. There is not words to describe her beauty and her sweetness. You are THE SUPERMODEL.
Yours,
Roberto
