l modeled for a couple of small stores for a few years when l was in my early twenties. lt was never a goal, mainly because l didn't even come close to fitting the height requirements at 5'6", but l loved it, and for the short time l was modeling, l found it to be mostly a personal fulfillment, and l enjoy a great shoot that comes from talented, collaborative efforts. Everybody has their reasons for being here, but it's still a symbiotic relationship.
At any rate, l've recently become a more regular model for an erotic photographer friend of mine on here, and though l'm a little on the plus side now, enjoy it just as much as l used to, and still looking for new ways to express myself. Having a good photographer helps, of course - ability to articulate one's ideas/themes, and tactful honesty are both a major plus. l prefer edgier shoots and styles (fetish, erotic), both in photography and modeling. l'm a huge fan of creative projects and photographers, as well as supporting the local talent and small businesses. l've never had the look for commercial print or runway, so l fit where l fit in, and while cash is preferred, l'm always happy to trade for prints or CD; TFP nude shoots are limited unless otherwise negotiated.
l don't do nudes until and unless l have met the photographer first, and feel comfortable doing so. This means l must meet with you in person beforehand. That would seem obvious but l've had a couple of people happy to discuss the entire thing over the phone and email, and that's fine for some. l just prefer a professional once over.
As far as physical (im)perfections go, please note:
Scars: small one on the bridge of my nose (lighting can usually minimize this), one just on the underside of my chin (not noticeable unless l'm doing a look-down-my-nose-at-you shot), three small on my right knee from surgery.
Tattoos: Eight, most of which are small, one of which is on my wrist and the most prominent one l have. l prefer not to cover these up if l don't have to; though l assume the type of photographer l'd typically shoot with isn't going to much care, it's good to put that information out. You're more than welcome to photoshop them out if you so choose.
Hair and makeup skills are limited, so if you have suggestions for either of those and they're willing to TFP, that would be great. Also looking for designers/retailers of all styles (including fetish/bondagewear) who might be interested in contributing wardrobe for shoots. Thank you!
