Hello,
http://vimeo.com/17753483
My name is
Aлёна but you can call me
Aly. Originally from Russia in case if you interested. Model, videographer & SFX, culinary chef, yoga instructor.
Body type
What you see is what you get. Green/Grey/Blue eyes color that change it's color based on makeup. No extensions. No fake nails. No piercing. No tattoos. Silicone free (There is days when I feel like add some LOL). EXTRA THICK hair. There is a difference between just long hair and never been cut long hair. Clothes or no clothes I am very comfortable in front of the camera.
At work
I have great endurance. I don't complain much. I work fast. I am able to get to the location on my own, no matter how far, (I think I became an expect with Google search), but expect my travel expenses to be covered.
I was born as perfectionist. Don't take my critique personally. I mostly look for my own flaws to avoid repeating them in future.
TF* work
You portfolio must speak for itself. No need for references. If you about to produce Killer Image, image that tells story, contact me. I don't bite unless your concept require me to:-)
Please note, our collaboration MUST benefit us both. I don't see how I can benefit from photographer who past decade was shooting nature or food. Even thou you may shoot for 15+ years It mean you are total amateur in shooting moving, alive people. You need practice and I won't help you out just being altruistic. My fee is very reasonable if that's your case.
Before you contact me watch this

I get 3 times more productive and perform much better then get paid:-)
I charge $65/h for casual and $75/h for implied nudes. I am pretty good with my own makeup and hair.

Feedback
I don't do "comments for comments". It's cheap, false flattery. If I leave you a comment, you are under no obligation to comment back - unless you genuinely like my work. Likewise, if you leave me a comment, I won't comment back unless I really mean what I say.
Thank you.
