About me
--- TRAVEL NOTICE!!! --- I will be in London , UK , from April 7 , 2012 to April 23 !  If you are a PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER in the London area , please message me here!!  Maybe we can Shoot while I am out there!  : )
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please don't let my chronological age fool you!  I'm often mistaken for a 25 year old woman, and my photos here are largely unretouched or edited in any way!!

I was told about Model Mayhem by my friend, who is a professional photographer on this website - TJ Pendragon !  I asked him to take some great quality shots of me in my Goth gear - as it is my favorite look that I wear daily!!  I uploaded them onto your website as a new member in 2009.  I have modeled in my city of Winnipeg for the past 23 years, and am considered a Petite Alternative Model.

I am also professional ; published in various Alternative Magazines , Books , Calendars , and Promotional materials.  I am serious about my work , and will mostly shoot with Professional Photographers at this point in my career. I will however , make concessions to working with amateur photographers if I think your work is of very good quality. Because of my busy schedule , professional projects will take priority over all others!

I am building back my self-esteem and confidence after leaving a very difficult personal relationship that lasted over 10 years. I reluctantly left modelling while I was married to my ex husband.   I love expressing myself through fashion and visual artistry - especially photographic art!! It's SO good to be back in front of the camera again!  : )

I am unconventional, creative and fun loving!  I am an Applied Counselor with a Masters in Psychology, and also an entrepreneur, running my Alternative Modeling business solo. I love reading and listening to music!!  I adore Sci-Fi and Horror movies!

  I look very youthful for my age, and plan to stay young-at-heart for the rest of my life!  I believe that living life without self-expression is unfulfilling and dull, to say the least!!  It's a necessity to live life according to what makes you happy and to feel alive !!   My style is my own but Gothic culture and music are my inspirations!!

In terms of nude photography, I am willing to do implied, partial nudity/artistic/tasteful solo shots only!! Gothic bondage style shots are fine!! Nothing beyond that level in case you're wondering!! big_smile

If you are interested in working together on a project,  I may be contacted through my URL here!!   I am looking to do some Gothic/ Fetish Styled Shoots at this time, as well as TF Shoots for Clothing Designers in the Manitoba area / or Online Sites!    TFCD and TFP's are usually accepted , as well as compensated work. Willing to travel, if expenses are covered.

This was recently written about me by The Alternative Model Directory on Saturday, September 11, 2010 at 3:37pm :

"I am completely mesmerized by an alternative model known as Joan V. So much that I must give her her own note:) Her passion for the industry as well as her experience as an Alternative model should make her a role model for all alternative models around the world. I've seen her photos and I must say she seems to be ageless not to mention stunning."
