Kristy Lee Wilson

I currently work full time as an acrobat for Cirque du Soleil. I have been with Cirque for 8 years now and have a background in gymnastics, trampoline, and stunt work.

I have a huge passion for fitness and am looking to get more involved in fitness modeling. I am also an ACSM, NSCA, and NASM certified personal trainer.

I have been an elite gymnast since 1988. I was a member of the Australian Gymnastics Teams for 8 years and a member of the Australian Trampoline Team for 5 years. I'm also a former 3-time Australian Champion in Power Tumbling.

I am very new to the modeling side of things, but am eager to gain some experience and learn more. I am very easy to work with and work very hard. I also take direction extremely well, therefore I also learn fast. I would LOVE to shoot anything fitness, swimwear, fashion, and lingerie.

I WILL NOT do nudes.

Since I am trying to gain experience I am open to doing TFP/TFCD if it will add to our portfolios. I'm also interested in doing shoots for fitness magazines, catalogs, websites, commercials, and other print.

One more thing, and I'm just adding this because a lot of photographers have contacted for this reason. I am here for my fitness career not for my career at Cirque du Soleil. If you are a photographer looking for a foot in the door to Cirque, or wanting to shoot at Cirque, I am not interested in that. So please do not ask. The answer will be NO.

You can learn more about me at my website: http://www.kristy-leewilson.com or add me on facebook at wilsonk92@mac.com

I look forward to working with some of you soon! Let's shoot!! :-)
