PLEASE NOTE: In many of my profile photos I have long hair. My hair is now quite short... it's a modified, sweeping, pixie cut. I love it, and it is great for showing off dramatic facial features. With this cut, can be either androgynous or quite feminine depending on the styling.
BODY MODIFICATIONS: Bellybutton piercing (plain barbell), lotus flower tattoo on left glute. Approx 6 inch diameter.
I have experience both behind and in front of the camera, but find that I am more often photographer than subject. Therefore, I'm setting up this profile as a model with the hope that I can gain more exposure and experience. I am seeking paid work in runway or photography. I would like to help you expand your portfolio and pose for commercial, fashion, and lifestyle photography. I am also interested in collecting fun and creative images for my portfolio and will consider some TFP. I am no longer doing unpaid nude shoots as I have met my current portfolio needs and would like to do other things.
I am prompt, professional, and won't back out of my commitments. But lest you fear I'm all serious business, I promise that I'm also outgoing and fun. Most of all, I'm adventurous and open to trying your creative ideas. I am interested in working in urban and natural environments in both casual and high-fashion styles. I like to pose in unique settings. I am open to shooting boudoir, implied nudes or tasteful nudes, with some limitations.
I have my own wedding, boudoir, and portrait photography business at
http://www.persimmonimages.com. I shoot with a Canon 5d Mark II with a variety of L and non-L lenses. My backup camera is my original 20D. I'm tech-savvy and regularly work within the Adobe Creative Suite & LightRoom.
I love living in the Pacific Northwest and exploring the mountains and coastline. I'm an avid hiker, mountaineer, and athlete. I've run several local marathons (and shorter races), cycled the STP, and am currently training for a triathalon. Each summer sees me climbing in Glacier National Park, where I was recently married.
I have lived in both Germany and Tokyo, and while I no longer speak any German, I do speak Japanese. It is my dream to travel the world and to make a living between photography and modeling.
