Looking to model corsets!
Designers(especially!), wardrobe stylists and photographers: Need a corset modeled? I would be more than happy to oblige!
Currently I can tightlace down to 18-19."
My hair is currently dyed a dark, rich, mahogany. (see image above)
Expressive. Intense. Passionate. Versatile. Playful. Artistic. Punctual.
Professional. And, always, unforgettable.
I will gladly endure subzero temperatures, torrents of rain, gravity defying and body bending poses, itty bitty spaces, silly outfits, blinding makeup, organ shifting corsets, neck braces, stupidly high heels and many other crazy things for the sake of
art and fashion.
I am not afraid to get the job done. This is about art-- not just looking pretty. But, if I must, I can do that too. 
Availability
Due to time constraints I allow very limited TFP/CD work.
I am available most Mondays and Wednesdays before 5.
I am available Tuesdays and Fridays after 5.
I am available most Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
I am usually booked about 2-3 weeks in advance so please keep this in mind when asking to work with me.
Fine artists, painters and illustrators:
As a creator of fine arts, I have decided to add a special section for those of you who would like to work with me. I am capable of holding poses for extended periods of time for drawing or painting sessions.
If you live far away, I am more than happy to collaborate with a local photographer in order to get good photographs or the pose/costume you need to use for reference. :]
At this time I am not accepting nude work. Implied is select. I will, however, pose in minimal formfitting clothing or a costume of choice. I do have several full-body shots for inquiring minds as I understand that I am very much dolled up in many of my portfolio shots. These are available upon request.
Travel
I will travel anywhere you want me to travel to provided my transport and lodging can be covered. :]
Currently I am debating travel to L.A., San Fransisco and Seattle. If you are from one of these cities and are willing to chip in for travel or lodging: Let me know!
-I am occasional home in Northern Virginia and the D.C. area to see family. On such trips I may have time to shoot.
Contact
You can reach me here on MM through messages or at ophelia.s.w@gmail.com.
-I am not likely to respond to comments or tags. If you want to work with me. EMAIL or MESSAGE me.
Compensation
-
While I am available for TF* it gets very limited as I am quite busy. As always, paid takes priority. So contact me ahead of time!
-On most occasions I can do or provide my own wardrobe, makeup and/or styling. I am very versatile.
Unless otherwise noted, all hair, makeup and wardrobe styling in my port is done my myself. This also accounts for my limited TFP/CD and for the pricing of my rates.
My rates are really very reasonable and often negotiable especially if you are offering me anything in return.
Discounts for: Extensive hours, the chance of being published, photographers who provide hair, make-up and/or wardrobe, and students/graduates of SAIC.
I may also accept compensation in the form of: wardrobe, shoes, comic books, plane tickets and good sushi. 
All travel costs must be covered unless further arrangements have been made or I am already traveling to the area.
I am interested in shooting:
Will do TFP/CD most definately for:
Underwater photography.
An Ophelia themed drowning shoot.
A gorey shapeshifter shoot.
Any shoot with intense makeup or wardrobe that is provided.
A shoot where travel costs are entirely covered for outside the City and suburbs of Chicago.
I also like to shoot:
Pin-up and cheesecake.
Corsets!!
Head shots and Beauty shots
Artsy and conceptual.
Alternative or Retro fashions. Goth, 1920's and 1940-1950's themed, and Japanese Lolita are my favorites.
High fashion.
Horror.
Light/tasteful fetish and glamor.
Promotional work.
Swimsuit and lingerie.
Select implied work.
References
I have no problem with a prospective photographer checking references from anyone I have worked with on this site. I am confidant I will receive positive reviews.
I arrive on-time and prepared. Always.
