Hey, I’m Dane!
I’m a full-time art nude model in The Bay Area with experience spanning over 5000 projects. I have modeled for fine art classes, painters, sculptors, music videos, webinars, movies, fashion shows, magazine editorials, television shows, and so much more. In 2023 I was awarded an O1-b work visa as an Artist of Exceptional Ability for my modeling at which time I moved from Toronto to San Francisco to pursue furthering my career in the USA. I am very proud of this and consider it something of an achievement as it is quite difficult to be recognised by a foreign country for artistic nude modeling as I’m sure one can imagine!
Some of my favourite past opportunities include modeling with a lunar eclipse during totality, modeling for a video game character, and modeling for a major photography lighting brand with a renowned artist... however I will never turn up my nose at the prospect of working with a newer artist! In fact, helping artists build sustainable businesses is an absolute passion of mine! I own three creative businesses and co-own a fourth with two other models.
Traveling feeds my soul, and when I’m not at home in San Francisco, I can generally be found in Toronto, Vancouver, Austin, Los Angeles, New York and Portland with relative frequency. With that said, I am always delighted to visit new locations for creative opportunities. I also offer opportunities to photographers looking to travel with me to some of my favourite photogenic locations such as Iceland, Newfoundland, and most of Canada; I have an excellent list of gorgeous places and amazing stays we can take advantage of!

Please note: It hurts my heart to have to say this, but I am regularly contacted because my artistic integrity is questioned. I am only available for artistic creation. I am aware that photographs of me have been used in dating profiles and for further services for many years. I do not offer adult services of any kind. You will not find real photographs of me depicting more of my body than you find on this website anywhere online as I have not posed for such jobs.

Posing for commercial, art, glamour, and figure projects. I can also be hired for consultation, model training, 3D scanning, light fetish work (balloons, giantess, stocking, WAM and such), plus various video projects (no bikini try-on/clothing haul stuff though, please, as this feels disingenuous to my intents and contributes to over consumption). I’m happy to discuss all ideas, but please understand I do not work with erotica intent or with POV content. No sexual services, ever.

This has been my full-time career since 2007 when I graduated from a college-level high school of the arts. I studied photography, printmaking, figurative art, art history, photo editing, model making, advertising, business, and graphic design. I wanted to know the ins and outs of this creative world as a freelancer. As one of the OG freelancing traveling models, I have made it my life’s meaning to personify emotion, and to create imagery through one of the many mediums I participate in. I do not flake, I do not make plans I don’t intend to keep, and I work my butt off to create work we will feel proud to display!

Creatives of all types! Being newer to creation or a lifelong artist, we will work well together if we can connect with an intent and respect for the collaborative process.
If you’re newer, I like to advise to make a collection of images you are inspired by - Pinterest is excellent for this! Search terms related to colors, settings, and vibes you wish to work with. We can find ways to mix and match your inspiration and create something altogether our own. We can discuss the parts of the inspiration photo that we’re going for and dissect it to create similar work together!
