My name is Julia though many people online refer to me as Raven, my modeling alter-ego.
I am 17 years old.
One thing a little unusual about me is my height- 5' 2" with a very long torso and moderately short legs. I'm everything wrong, but right at the same time. (I hope?) People are often interested in my petite body, large eyes, and pale skin in terms of modeling. I'm full of contrast because of my black hair, which is fairly long.
My face is something changing constantly from youthful to angular and mature. I am your perfect shapeshifter.
For my size and stature, I have some strange characteristics that most slender women, especially at my age, wouldn't possess.
While I am short, I assure you no part of me would make you think I was by just staring at me. The only element that may offset you is that I have a somewhat large chest. [A very full D cup.] I plan to have reduction surgury if the size increases.
I have two piercings, just my ears, and one small tattoo on my back of a barcode. In the near future I will have at least seven more piercings, six added to my ears and one eyebrow piercing. I plan on getting sleeves at some point after I'm 18 and a few other tattoos as well. The first to happen in the sign of Taurus on the back of my neck.
I do all of my makeup and hair-related things as I have a passion for it, which is why I'm in beauty school. If I think you're talented enough I'll let you do them for me. I hate sloppy makeup. I really really do.
I am a pretty big fan of the victorian-gothic look, but I'm known for just about everything and giving it a chance. I love corsets and I'll soon be in waist-training to get my waist down to 23 inches. Partial nudity is alright, but don't push your luck.
Shoots I am interested in:
-NeoBurlesque pin-up, similar to Dita Von Teese
-Broken Mirrors in a dark studio
-Decent looking vampire shoot, prefferably male and female
-Cyber shoot with synthetic dreads and goggles
-A smoking shot with a long drag, similar to Cruella DaVille
or a colorful smoke shot with a hooka
-Dark fairy or fallen angel
-Black gauze, sort of a spider-esque feel to it
-J-Rock or Visual Kei
-Alice in Wonderland (very picky about this one...)
-Nightmare Before Christmas (also quite picky)
-Amy Lee identical (perfectionist level of picky)
The best forms of contacting me are on MM, my email, or myspace. You will have to ask for those. If you ask for my phone number that will become the very best form of communication as you may call or text anytime and I will answer you within 12 hours.

I am doing TF* until I have a strong portfolio with a great deal of variety, also until I am legally an adult.
I am also an amatuer MUA who only charges for a kit fee, which is negotiable. I won't charge anything else until I get my license next year.
Previous professional modeling with Hot Topic- 2006 catalog.

"Your name fits your image, that's for sure.
I like the variety of location in your work and the themes certainly seem to fit your obvious desire to emulate Emily the Strange or some sort of gothic motif but yet still seem beautiful in a way that not many 'goth' shoots seem to convey. Though there is a definite darkness to your work, it's not burdened by the excessive use of blood or vampire folklore of so many of your contemporaries (though you obviously touch on those things as well, just not excessively.)
Forgive the comparison if you're not a fan, but you kind of remind me of a cross between Amy Lee and Winona Ryder's character in Beetlejuice. "

"I looked over your port and both times I thought the same thing. You have a gorgeous look, stunning features, amazing eyes. With this said the first thing that comes to mind is that many of the images wash out your features and hide your eyes.. You have the ability to shoot a wide range of looks from the dark style you already have to pure beauty. It would be wonderful to see a collection of images that express your abilities and not just the one style. With your features if I where to schedule a shoot with you, I would be drawn to some with lots of color, bright vibrant, and showcase your piercing eyes. You have a wonderful figure and should definitely start to look at expanding into some fashion and age appropriate tasteful glamour. Thing of pin-up and beauty.. I say look at Jessica Alba... she can shoot a dark moody image and the next day a bright vibrant make-up ad...
Now keep in mind this is my two cents and you should follow your dreams, but being as versatile as possible with open up a lot more doors for you and may draw you into a style that is different from your personality and lifestyle but something for modeling you may love even more."
