Dear (Mx/Ms/Mr) (Contact Person’s Surname),

I’m excited to apply for the Life Model role within the Creative Arts and Media department. With a strong appreciation for artistic expression and a professional approach to life modelling, I’m confident in my ability to contribute meaningfully to your drawing sessions.

I’ve got extensive experience providing life modelling services for a variety of artistic settings, where I have developed a professional approach to both clothed and nude modelling. I’m entirely comfortable with nude modelling and understand the importance of maintaining composure, poise, and dynamic expression to inspire creative engagement. I’m skilled at incorporating props and adapting poses to meet lesson objectives, ensuring each session meets the needs of staff and students alike.

My reliability and flexibility allow me to collaborate effectively with educators and learners, tailoring my poses as required and offering guidance when needed. I’m committed to fostering a respectful and inspiring environment that supports the development of artistic skills and confidence.

I’d welcome the opportunity to contribute to your department and to support the growth of its aspiring artists. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to discussing how my experience aligns with your needs. I can reached on 07123 456 789 at your convenience.

Yours sincerely,

 

[Your Name]

 

How to write a modelling cover letter

Before you begin writing, make sure you know how to write a cover letter in a way that makes you seem like the best candidate for the job.

Samuel Johns, CPRW selected this real-world modelling cover letter as a great example of how to present your skills in the industry.

Here’s how the cover letter writer, an expert in the modelling industry, justified the choices she made when writing the cover letter.

1. Tailor your cover letter to the company or position

From the very beginning of the cover letter, I ensured it was tailored specifically. Addressing the department by name in the opening line was a deliberate choice to demonstrate that my client had researched the position thoroughly. You should do this too.

When crafting the second paragraph, I chose to focus on my client’s comfort with both clothed and nude modelling — this is a critical requirement for life models, so it was essential to highlight it explicitly.

It’s essential you clarify your comfort with the requirements of the modelling role you’re going for, whether it’s nude or involves some other potentially awkward element.

2. Show enthusiasm for the role

To reflect genuine enthusiasm for the position, I crafted a direct and engaging opening: ‘I’m excited to apply for the Life Model role.’ This sentence sets a positive tone and immediately conveys interest in the position. Start your own cover letter with a genuine, enthusiastic opening.

Throughout the letter, I wove in phrases designed to emphasise my client’s passion for supporting creativity, such as ‘appreciation for artistic expression’ and ‘fostering a respectful and inspiring environment.’

These phrases were intentionally chosen to position my client as someone who genuinely cares about contributing to the growth of aspiring artists and the overall mission of the department, and you can copy these phrases directly from this example into your own modelling cover letter.

3. Highlight your specialisations

To make my client’s application stand out, I focused on highlighting her unique skills and specialisations. For example, I included her ability to incorporate props and adapt poses, which demonstrates versatility and creativity — qualities highly valued in educational life modelling.

By mentioning that my client adapts her poses to meet lesson objectives, I underscored her capacity to work collaboratively with educators and cater to the specific needs of each session.

These specialisations help paint a clear picture of a candidate who is uniquely qualified to meet and exceed the expectations of the Creative Arts and Media department.

4. End with a strong call to action

The conclusion of the letter was carefully crafted to leave a lasting impression while encouraging the hiring manager to take the next step.

I opted for a confident and proactive tone with the line: ‘I look forward to discussing how my experience aligns with your needs.’

I also made sure to include my client’s phone number in the closing sentence: ‘I can be reached on 07123 456 789 at your convenience.’

This decision ensures the employer has immediate access to contact information. Add your email or phone number here to make it easy for the hiring manager to get in touch with you.
