Beauty. Only you can rescue your own experience of human beauty.

It’s not a standard. It’s an experience.

Throughout history, images of humanity have been celebrated by the arts. But in the glossy pages of most magazines and commercial culture, images of humanity are being used to systematically bombard us with exploitative messages about beauty.

Within the pages of Model Society Magazine, the best and most creative models, photographers and artists in the world are coming together to restore human beauty to its rightful place as a subject of fine art contemplation.

We find ourselves swimming in a bottomless ocean of lies and manipulation. Our natural desire to appreciate beauty in ourselves and each other is being leveraged by unloving, impersonal agendas to sell you products and ideas. Beauty has become a standard.

Our humanity, when portrayed as art, has the power to help us appreciate and explore the depths of our shared human experience. When we see ourselves through the eyes of art we have an opportunity to realize our unique individuality as well as our transcendent oneness.

Meanwhile, artistic and respectful images of nude humanity are blocked, banned, marginalized and misunderstood. This cultural bias is so pervasive that we lose sight of the miraculous beauty found within each and every one of us. Hypnotic pressure to conform to meaningless fabricated standards has us turning against each other, and against ourselves. Instead of celebrating the full spectrum of human beauty, we judge what we see in the mirror and blame others for making us feel this way.

6

We invite you to break free from the cultural hypnosis of beauty standards and reclaim your experience of human beauty as your own. We hope you will allow yourself to look upon each work of art within these pages with new eyes, reconsidering your own unique humanity as a beautiful and miraculous work of art. Christa J. Maier (content director) David Bollt (Founder)

“Every beauty which is seen here by persons of perception resembles more than anything else that celestial source from which we all come.” — michelangelo

honestly

REVEALING Commercial culture can seem like a bully, threatening to beat you up with rejection and ridicule if you dare to reveal your honest self. But, the reality is that nothing is more beautiful than an unfiltered expression of who and what you really are. One look at these models and you’ll see a beauty that transcends fabricated standards and definitions. The light that shines from these pages is something we all can embody, the moment we allow our authentic selves to be seen. Help us stand up to the bully of commercial culture. When you see a flash of authenticity shining on someone’s face, let them know. In joy, sadness, gratitude or vulnerability, acknowledge and validate the beauty of someone’s unfiltered self whenever and wherever you see it shining.

Bring beauty into the world by simply allowing your honest self to be seen.

undeniably Artists throughout the ages have been celebrated for creating accurate and inspiring portrayals of the human form. In paintings and sculpture, the elegant proportions of the human body are recognized for their miraculous beauty. We put great artists on pedestals for their genius, but often fail to recognize that these great artists are putting you, me and all of humanity on a pedestal. These transcendent works of art are attempts to immortalize, celebrate and appreciate the miracle of the human body as it already is: perfectly formed … living and breathing … as you and me.

sculptural

As you experience these images, we invite you to consider the perspective of the artist, rather than the work of art alone. Climb up on the pedestal of human beauty and imagine yourself as seen through the eyes of art. Imagine the lines and forms of your own body seen as a miracle, worthy of study, contemplation, exploration and appreciation.

emotionally In social news feeds, we see images of happy people living happy lives. Celebrities, success and smiling selfies would have you think that life is great and could hardly get any better. Commercial culture has turned us all into advertisers who portray our lives through a public relations filter. Looking around at everyone’s seemingly enviable circumstances, you may sometimes wonder if you are the only one who is hurting, scared, lost, suffering or feeling alone. It can seem like it’s not safe to pull back the glossy mask of presentation and share the challenging truths of our humanity.

naked

When we embrace the truth of our naked humanity, there is an opportunity for us to celebrate one another as beautiful, even during life’s most difficult moments. Within these pages, the brave models of Model Society reveal genuine glimpses of wounded humanity so you can see that you are not alone.

Let’s welcome vulnerable humanity out from the shadows and into the light of acceptance.

“It is through art — and through art only — that we can realize our perfection.” — Oscar Wilde

exquisitely Sometimes life’s most beautiful moments are the private and tender times when we are alone, or with just one other person. Moments when we experience true intimacy are rarely shared, broadcast or seen by others.

38

When we let our guard down simply to embrace what’s here in this moment, we shine with an openhearted vulnerability that is pure and beautiful.

masculine

BEAUTIFULLY

The masculine. He is our father. Our son. Our brother. You may experience him as a brave warrior and an ambitious leader. And if you look, you will also find him as a lost soul on a lonely city street corner. We praise men for being strong, hard-working and successful. He is told not to cry. He is told not to reach out for comfort or reassurance. He is told not to ask for help or to allow himself to be seen as unsure. He is told not to tremble or shrink from danger. He is even told not to sing for joy. When he manages to climb up on the pedestal of respect and appreciation, he finds that it’s narrow, lonely and precarious. Through it all, he longs to be needed and to realize a sense of purpose and belonging.

The men of Model Society offer us an experience of the masculine that transcends cultural pressures. They encourage us to see men as far more than the expectations or roles we have placed upon them. They stand naked before us, revealing their strength and their vulnerability.

The men of Model Society help us see masculine humanity in all of its aspects as simply beautiful.

INTRINSICALLY

As human beings, we experience life through a filter of meaning and metaphor. Our nightly dreams, the childhood stories we grew up learning, and even the structure of our language help us see that all our experiences are steeped in symbolic associations. This pervasive matrix of implied meaning is leveraged by models, photographers and artists to convey subtle and powerful messages. They create images that bypass the rational mind, speaking directly to our hearts and souls. They tell stories that appeal to our hopes and our fears. Even as they share individual visions, they also reveal universal truths about the human condition. ` The models, photographers and artists of Model Society invite you to look beneath the surface of things. Consider how the symbols and metaphors within someone else’s imagination can illuminate the otherwise hidden associations through which you experience your own life.

naturally uplifting

Can you let yourself be impacted by what nature made, exactly as it is?

It’s easy for people to look at an image of a sunset or beautiful landscape and behold the majesty of nature. Yet when looking at images of people, experiences of beauty are often obscured by judgments about each other or ourselves. We invite you to experience images of people, simply and directly, as if you were viewing a stunning landscape. Can you let yourself be impacted by what nature made, exactly as it is? How exquisitely beautiful and natural the human body truly is when it is viewed as one of nature’s many elegant creations.

To the models of Model Society:

thank you Art models offer reflections of humanity as a timeless and treasured work of art. Their passion and vision for this unique art form is the beating heart at the core of our mission. The images within these pages and at the Model Society online community would not be possible without art models. Art models give our work its soul. They lend their hearts, their minds, their imaginations and their bodies to our cause. Without the art models’ courage to be vulnerable, to allow their body and soul to be seen, the Model Society community – along with hundreds of years of art history – would simply not exist.
