Robert
Inhuman interviews Taylor Wane, October 2006
Robert Inhuman: What was your initial
motivation in becoming a model and how has it changed over time? Also, is there
an online biography of your career that you would most recommend for anyone
interested in learning your history?
Taylor Wane: There is a full
biography of my career and achievements at www.taylorwane.com
I am not sure that my motivation has changed at all. I got into modeling
because it was fun and gave me an opportunity to meet new people and travel.
I've achieved that and much more.
How are variables
such as location, clothing, etc. chosen for shoots and who
directs/curates your projects?
I choose everything. I
have been producing my own movies and photo spreads including my Penthouse
cover and centerfold, for over 12 yrs. now. I know how I want to look, and I
like to make sure that happens. I always set out to have the most fun I
possibly can while working, therefore if there themes are of my choosing, then I'm sure to have a good time.
What is your favorite aspect of your
career and are there specific projects that have been most rewarding?
I love all aspects of my career, I love the variety of it. Movies, magazines,
modeling, events, conventions, it is all fun and interesting. The highlights of
my career have been when I graced the cover and centerfold of Penthouse
Magazine and the
first time I laid my eyes on the artwork that Olivia De Bernadinis
inked of me. Both were great achievements for a model. As a nude model there
are certain goals or dreams you aspire to reach one day. Penthouse, Playboy, or
Olivia De Bernadinis drawing you, these are
accomplishments that models dream of getting.
How important is a balance between
reality and illusion in your work? As an artist and sexual icon how do factors
of illusion come into consideration for projects ie. photo technique, body language and alteration, etc?
Some people like to say,
Oh keep it real, but all photography or filmography
to some degree is illusion if you want it to look good. Things have to be
tweaked and staged to make the end
result look professional. I refer a little fantasy to any of my work. I love
costumes and makeup, I think it makes a film or picture so much more erotic if
the women are made up to be more fantasy like. I can
keep it real in the gym any day of the week.
What is your reaction or statement to
people who have objected to your work at any point? Is justification to these
people important to you or not?
I really don't care what
other think about my choice of work. It is no ones right to say what is right
or wrong for an individual. I cannot bear a man who has warm blood running
through his veins tell me what god thinks I can do. If you are a mere human of
this earth, as I am, then you don't have any special knowledge of what a human
being should or should not be allowed to do. Your own conscience is the voice
of god (whatever god that is that you choose to follow or believe in). Nudity
and sex is as natural as eating, sleeping and other bodily functions. Obviously
in life, some people choose to do things that may harm or endanger another
human being, this is rationally the wrong thing to choose to do. Sex with
consenting adults, is rational, healthy, and completely acceptable on any level
and should not be judged by another as wrong or illegal by neighbor or
government.
You've worked in a variety of media
over the years, which is most satisfying or appealing? Are there mediums or
lines of work as a model you have avoided specifically?
I have worked in a plethora
of media forms. I've written for many years for several men’s publications
including Swank for 5 years, Busty at present, Erotic
X Film guide for 4 years, Lips for 2 years, as well as online articles. I host
two radio shows, one for www.Ksexradio.com
and the other for private calls, Playboy radio on Sirius 198. I've directed,
produced and starred in my own productions for almost 12 years. I've ran,
owned, and shot the photography in my own photo studio for over 12 years. I've
modeled, been a spokes-model, a live feature entertainer/burlesque dancer and
so much more that I'm sure I’m forgetting something. I love that I have been
able to have the variety that I have had in all aspects of media. I intend to
write a book in time, but I would not want to pick any one of these as the most
gratifying as I have been fulfilled by them all.
