Maria: The Advantages of Maturity
By David Bollt on August 20, 2014
Maria started modeling at age 43 with a remarkable passion
and dedication, that helped her transcend expectations of what a model is
supposed to be.
She embraces herself and others as being beautiful, each in
their own unique light. Maria truly sees the things that others may view as
imperfections, as her individual signatures.
What was your inspiration for becoming a model?
I started my career when I became 43 years old. My children
went to the next schools, and I wanted to get to work again and have a passion
in life. Modeling is some sort of dream for lots of girls/women. I just stepped
into the modeling world, signed in at agencies, created a website, signed up on
forums, worked on my portfolio (on TFP base) for a long time. I learned by
failure and success.
My age has been an advantage as there are not much older ,
new-come, models around who are fresh faces in the market and willing enough to
travel, work hard at rates which are not based on five figures. I never
represented myself as young and frustrated, but as a lady who is proud of her
age, her body, her looks and is still willing to learn and to grow (old)
hahahaha….

Oxford Encyclopedia of Photography - History of Erotic Photography and Art
Erotic photography is particularly difficult to define and delimit. Occupying a fluid position between the academic nude and pornography,
definitions of it have varied from period to period, influenced by
shifting sensibilities and moral standards, and by authors' more or less
overt or conscious intentions. Arguably any nude photograph, simply by
virtue of its realism, was capable of appearing erotic to 19th-century
viewers, so that even the most coldly academic studies were banned from
display in photographers' windows. The exhibition in 1857 of Rejlander's rather chaste composition The Two Ways of Life
shocked the public because the right-hand portion of the picture
presented, with the most moral intent, nude women in lascivious poses.
Nudes were officially excluded from photographic exhibitions until the
last years of the 19th century, when soft focus and the artistic ethos
of the pictorialists finally gave them the right to appear in public.
