Above: Fitness models Max Wettstein & Suzy Colleen aesthetically present their chiseled physiques.

 Modeling is ART: That's right.  First and foremost modeling is an ART FORM, especially when presenting the physique.  In fact for me, that is why I do this most of all:   A passion and appreciation for the physique and trying to present it as artistically and visually pleasing as I can.  It sounds cliché, but the body is amazing in what can be done with it and how stunning it can look, whether it be the physique of a 100-meter sprinter, a gymnast, or a dancer.  The ultimate dream for me would to be an Olympic athlete, but I chose a different path and am fortunate enough at this phase in my life that I have an opportunity to use my body physically and to explore my physique's potential thru a modeling venue.  This is also MY creative outlet for now, from training, to dieting, to posing, to editing, and working with a photographer to finally capture a great image is very rewarding.  While there are ideal anatomical proportions and bio-mechanical dimensions for athletes of specific sports, I believe there is no, single perfect physique aesthetically speaking...no human equivalent of Michelangelo's 'David' if you will, (the sculptor's endeavor to emulate ancient Greek aesthetic ideals, mimicking divine creation).  After all, art is subjective and to quote another often used cliché, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.  There is nothing wrong with striving for perfection even though it is unattainable by mankind.   We've come close in engineering and architectural feats, but alas, every human being is born with some kind of flaw.  So while some may label myself and other models as vain, narcissitic, or perfectionists, in reality I am just pursuing my art form and athletic path with an added benefit of improving my health.  I know I am not perfect and never will be, but sometimes an image or a picture with seemingly majestic lighting, IS perfect.  Getting my body dialed through a holistically healthy yet scientific & physiological challenging process, and then getting THE shot, can even be a path to greater awareness & even higher-consciousness. - Max
