Every once in a while, a creative collaboration stands out, not just for the resulting images but for the connection and experience behind them. Working with AIM, an internationally acclaimed Australian model, was one such encounter that left an indelible mark on Lurch Productions Creative Studio. A model of over a decade’s experience, AIM epitomizes artistry, professionalism, and the spirit of adventure.
Here's a video about our first shoot:
Who is AIM?
AIM, also known as Layal in her non-nude work, hails from the picturesque southern coast of Australia. With hazel eyes, striking features, and an impressive portfolio spanning 12+ years, she has worked across continents, participated in thousands of shoots, and earned acclaim in galleries, exhibitions, and magazines. A deep passion for creative expression drives her, making her one of the most sought-after models on platforms like Model Mayhem and PurplePort.
What sets AIM apart isn’t just her credentials but her versatility. From art nudes to portraits and beyond, her dynamic poses and understanding of light and angles bring every concept to life. She’s not just a model but a collaborator, contributing ideas, styling expertise, and a palpable energy to every shoot.
AIM’s Journey to Belgium
In early May, AIM reached out to Lurch Productions during a whirlwind European tour. Her itinerary was awe-inspiring—Belgium, Iceland, Germany, Austria, and the Czech Republic, followed by a summer exploring the Nordic and Baltic regions before culminating in Paris. Despite her packed schedule, AIM brought unparalleled focus and enthusiasm to our shoots.
Her message—filled with careful planning and thoughtful inquiries—was a testament to her meticulous approach.

Her awareness of the camera, the light, and her surroundings made every shot an artwork. Beyond her technical skills, her warm personality and ability to connect made the experience enjoyable and inspiring.
The Art of Balance

Throughout our shoots, AIM’s professionalism set the tone, ensuring a safe and respectful environment that prioritized artistry and comfort. It’s important to note that AIM’s boundaries are clear, and her policies regarding image use and shoot etiquette reflect her dedication to maintaining integrity in her work.
