AARON KNIGHT STUDIO
Fine Art Photography modeling
Hello
I’m Aaron, a photographer based in Charleston, SC. I hire people to model for my work. I create limited-edition collector prints, available through art dealers, and high-quality, short-run art books.
Art
I have periodic openings for paid art models. Photo shoots last a few hours. Selected models receive non-judgmental coaching, including guided exercises to develop figure modeling skills.
Opportunities
Models pay nothing. I hire both experienced and new models whose looks fit my art photography projects. A typical day of modeling starts with a couple of outfits to warm up. You’re paid at the end of each shoot.
My Aesthetic
My aesthetic celebrates classic feminine beauty, where women are unapologetic and display femininity with a positive spirit. Each photograph is the result of careful preparation, step-by-step instruction, trial and error in the studio, followed by rigorous editing. This is also one of those few jobs where having fun is required; you see spirit in the face of each model.
Want to model?
Every model here started with someone believing in their potential. In many cases, that person was me. As a photographer, I have mentored my fair share of women who had never modeled before. It’s amazing to watch confidence build as someone goes from self-doubt to projecting strength in front of my camera.
The hiring process generally takes a week, including an introductory phone call and a low-pressure interview. The process is transparent and non-judgmental. Shoots begin with a fashion warm-up and moves at a comfortable pace.
I’m open to working with new people and offer competitive pay. You must be over the age of 18. Get all the details on the application page.

Creating beautiful images
On this site I’ve compiled information to help you succeed as easily as possible in your modeling application, taking you step-by-step to your first photo shoot. Please explore my portfolio to get a better feel for the poses and themes I work with. Once you’ve done that, head over to the model application.
If you’ve already booked a shoot (or if you’re just curious), look through the model’s get ready guide to prepare for your figure modeling shoot.
