I am a mother to three bright and strong girls.<br \/>\n2. I started modeling &#038; acting at age 48 after having been a yoga teacher for 20 years.<br \/>\n3. I am a self-portrait artist, writer and perfomer. My instagram account, christineprice.creative is an ever- expanding collection of photographs created by me as photographer, model , stylist &#038; creative director. All the images are taken on my phone in the small corners of my apartment, all props and clothing from my own wardrobe and surroundings (often including my children&#8217;s toys &#038; everyday household items). Many of the images are paired with my writing; short fictional stories of the character I have created. My art is one big YES to the full spectrum of the human experience in all our contradictions and a visual homage to the multitudes we contain.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 What advice would you give to models who are considering entering the modeling industry later in life? Are there any key lessons or insights you wish you had known earlier in your career?<\/strong><br \/>\nGO FOR IT! Well, I am still very early in my career so the lessons and insights keep coming (as they do). When you&#8217;re older, some people assume you know what you&#8217;re doing when in fact, it may be all new to you. Ask questions. A lot of people assumed I&#8217;d modeled when I was younger but it was all brand new; the terminology, the business of it; the movement; the medium. On a shoot, ask for music if it helps you drop in and feel more at ease. It may not always be an option but in my (albeit limited) experience, it is usually welcomed. The right music can not only put you at ease but it can also help support the mood of the shoot; the overall vibe of the clothes and your embodiment from moment to moment. Trust yourself. You bring a breadth of life experience with you; you know your grace and your grit; your playfulness and your power; the courage at your core. Play. Dare. LIVE.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 What\u2019s an essential part of your daily routine?<\/strong><br \/>\nScent.
