Become Model for Alice ODILON, in order to beat your anorexia

Because I’ve been suffering from anorexia and bulimia, since the age of 12, I know what I’m talking about, when I say: “I can help you to fight your anorexia.”

My story is a happy one, but it became very sadly: as a teen, I entered in a very severe anorexia, weighing 30kgs for 1,60m, and being unable to eat and realize I was going to die.

My only chance happened in high school, in Fine Art School, when I bought my first “second hand” camera, which was an old one, but fantastic, as it was manual and simple and finally very reliable, for a beginner like me.

With this magical instrument, I began to make self-portraits. I was a skeleton, and I hated my body and face.

Posing naked, I discovered, thousand of sensations, as cold, as possible motion, as moving in space, as allowing me to watch myself in a mirror, as criticize myself positively, and as manage to express myself with my own body, my flesh, my bones, my muscles and my eyes, my mouth.

With a long practice, I exorcised my fear and my deep disgust, I’d got for everything of me.

I become able to stand up in front of the mirror and accept my shape, my identity.

It was a victory for me.

I became more indulgent with my body and found a way to deal with my anorexia.

I authorized myself to live, to move, to eat in order to be happy and creative.

Photography was my salvation.

So I know how to practice when it’s so hard to sort out with depression of eating disorder.

I organize workshops all the year, in UK. Theme is : Becoming a Model in order to fight anorexia.

Results are amazing.

I’ve been working with Super model Sandra Heidoff, who was suffering from anorexia, and healed her eating disorder in posing for me, during several seances of shooting.

Price for a workshop is £300. You’ve got 5 seances of 3 hours each.

Everything is organized, make up, styling, shooting. Price can be reduced if you have to traveling a long way.

Please get in touch with me: info@aliceodilon.com.

All the best.
