About me
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c344/BlackSwanPoetry/cooltext440990719.jpg

I am an internationally published model, known as 'Black Swan Persona' since my teens, owing in part to my background in ballet. Having deferred my PhD studies in Literature & Art History to focus on modeling, I'm passionate about reinventing myself and using my face & figure to create art.

I'm versatile and like to keep my portfolio as diverse as possible. I’m primarily interested in pin-up, high fashion, vintage, beauty, Gothic, fantasy, steam punk, & cosplay, but I’m open to suggestions for anything else that's eye-catching or unique. I have had the good fortune to with work some fantastic companies & have also been published in a number of awesome magazines.

I love experimenting with styling. I devise the majority of the concepts in my portfolio. I like makeup artists and hair stylists who actually exhibit some creativity, and who aren't just looking for 'cute.'

My physicality: Long, black hair with Bettie Page bangs. Three discreet tattoos. Curvy & leggy, with a 32F bust. I stand at 5 ft 10'' tall. I've been told that I'm built like a dominatrix, but fetish/nude/implied/lingerie/erotica are a 'no thank you.'

I am willing to do TF shoots if the concept/photographer in question will add something new to my portfolio, the more imaginative and artistic, the better. However, I'm a very experienced model so please don't contact me if you are just starting out in photography. Shoots for publication will be given priority.

Looking forward to creating some great images!

'As a photographer, your eye is always on the look out for a model with exceptional talent and finesse in front of the camera, and one particular model that comes to mind is Black Swan Persona. On our first meeting, her beauty and natural movement told me so much about her that I already found myself agreeing to shoot with her. Black Swan Persona is perhaps one of the most approachable models I have ever worked with, easy to talk to, with no airs or graces about her. I found explaining my ideas to her very easy indeed. It's amazing to work with a model who is committed and dedicated, but also able to think about the shoot and expand on it, and that is what she brings to the shoot . In my view a model must be adaptable and flexible. Black Swan Persona brings this and much more to the shoot. On closing, I could not recommend her enough; versatile, elegant and a joy to work with is how best I would describe my time with her.' (Peter Buckley of PB Photographs #406388)

'Sorcha is a wonderful model. Elegant, slim, with great awareness of her body and a natural ability to pose. She's confident and comfortable in front of the camera and takes direction well. She's creative and gives her all in a shoot, being involved in, and contributing to, the creative process along the way. A good time keeper, she's wonderful to work with!' (Danielle Keogh Photography #1357581)
