Nasim has been a regular model at the Draw online sessions for a few years now, but this is her first time featuring in one of our photo-sets and we're so pleased to have her on board! In this set we have two full pose rotations . Ever a fan of strange props and geometric poses, Nasim has co-modelled with one of studio mannequins, rescued from the basement of a North Laine shop of ill repute back in 2010.

It's Rik's final photoset and our last set in Olly Hearsey's summer series, overlapping with the autumn preview, which we have shot against a subdued colour palette, lit with higher contrast lighting that felt more sensitive to the season. This is a real bumper set of 100 reference images, with multiple portrait rotations and a series of more naturalistic poses that complements Rik's earlier clothed set where he was preparing for a run.
