The name of the studio is not accidental. The word "Cherish" implies a deep, protective love—a desire to hold something close and prevent it from fading away. For the founders of the studio, this concept is the driving force behind every project.
In the art world, the model is often viewed as a muse—a vessel for the artist’s vision. However, Cherish Art Model Studio flips this narrative slightly. Here, the model is viewed as both the muse and the artist. The studio operates on the belief that every individual possesses a unique narrative etched into their expressions and postures. The goal of the studio is not just to capture an image, but to capture a feeling—to freeze a moment of vulnerability, strength, or joy so that it can be cherished for generations.

Beyond the art world, Cherish Art Model Studio offers a profound service to the general public through their "Legacy Portraiture" program. This service is designed for individuals and families who wish to create a timeless record of a specific moment in life—be it a milestone birthday, a graduation, or simply the preservation of a family bond.
Approaching these sessions with the same artistic rigor applied to professional models, the studio democratizes the experience of being a work of art. A grandmother becomes the subject of a Rembrandt-style portrait; a young couple is captured in the dramatic style of a classic film still.
One of the technical advantages of Cherish Art Model Studio is its seamless export options. You are not locked into a proprietary viewer. You can:
This interoperability ensures that the studio fits into your pipeline, rather than forcing you to learn a new one. Discover the Art of Seeing
Stepping into the physical space of Cherish Art Model Studio, one immediately senses a departure from the chaotic outside world. The studio is designed to be an immersive environment.
Unlike stark, white-walled commercial studios that can feel clinical, Cherish Art is designed with warmth in mind. High ceilings allow for natural light to flood through industrial-sized windows, softened by sheer drapery that creates a painterly effect on the skin. The interior design blends modern minimalism with vintage textures—distressed leather chaises, velvet backdrops, and carefully curated props that evoke a sense of classic romanticism.
This environment is curated to put subjects at ease. Art modeling requires a significant amount of vulnerability. To stand in front of a lens or a canvas requires trust. The studio provides a safe, private, and respectful atmosphere where models—whether they are seasoned professionals or first-time subjects—can explore their range without inhibition.
Cherish Art Model Studio is a boutique creative agency that specializes in providing professional models for a wide range of artistic projects, including fine‑art photography, fashion editorials, commercial campaigns, and multimedia installations. Founded in 2015 in Portland, Oregon, the studio has grown into an internationally recognized hub for artists seeking diverse, inclusive, and highly skilled talent. Membership Perks:
At the core of the studio’s operations is its approach to modeling. Cherish Art Model Studio is renowned for its "Living Art" sessions. These are not standard photoshoots; they are collaborative performances between the photographer, the model, and the environment.
The studio specializes in a variety of modeling disciplines:
The studio also serves as a training ground. Through workshops and mentorship programs, Cherish Art teaches aspiring models the lost art of stillness and expression. They learn how to hold a pose for life drawing classes, how to move fluidly for the camera, and how to understand the mechanics of light on their own features.
