About me
PLEASE NOTE
I do not accept random friend requests. Leave me a message, tag or comment before you add me to your friends, otherwise I will not accept. Sorry.

A little about me
I'm a 21-year-old from Iceland, currently studying fine art photography at Kingston University, London.
I love all kinds of photography but I am most interested in fashion (especially high fashion, editorial stuff), surreal and conceptual/artistic photography. I love experimenting with new things and I welcome any and all ideas for consideration.

I love good posers most of all.

This is what I look like at the moment, so that if we're meeting you know what to look for.

My photos are on my flickr, please take a look if you're interested in seeing more.

How I work
If we are going to work together, you should know a few things.

* I do not appreciate unprofessional behaviour. I don't care if you are an amateur or not - I also use public transport and I know it can be a bitch, but if you're running late, have the decency to let me know before the appointed time. If you need to cancel, do so with as much advance warning as you can. I have had it happen too many times that models either do not show up at all or cancel at the last moment.. or even long after we had decided to meet. So if you are late, I will not wait up for you unless you let me know beforehand.
* If we have already shot together and you're uploading the results on your MM or anywhere, please do not alter the photos without my permission. I realize the photos are technically yours to keep, but I do not appreciate seeing altered versions of my photos I did not know of beforehand. If you don't like the crop or the editing, tell me and we'll sort it out.
* If you don't tag me, I won't tag you and we both lose. Just Do It.


Contact
If you're ever anywhere nearby, feel free to contact me if you want to work together on anything! I won't be able to pay you as I'm living on student loans with no regular income but everyone involved will get copies of the edited pictures in high resolution, as well as credit wherever I put them up.

I get regular e-mail updates of messages here, but if you are not a member, my e-mail address is ljosberinn[at]gmail.com.
My mobile number in Iceland is (+354)8463400 and in the UK it's (+44)07552 624 745. I check my e-mail every day though, so don't be afraid to contact me through that, even if it's short notice. : )


Tools of the trade:
* I have access to a well equipped studio at school from 9-6 (approximately) on weekdays during winter. All other times would have to be either on location or somewhere you can provide.
* I have two digital cameras and a fair number of film cameras, various types. 35mm, medium format, lomo, etc. (I'm more comfortable with digital, but I want to get better at using film so if you're up to experimenting with me with film, I'll be a very happy bunny.)
* I can do make-up, hair and styling, and have done so in most of my shoots - check the credits on the pictures in my portfolio here for more info. However, as much fun as I have doing it myself, I do prefer working with proper make-up artists, stylists and hair stylists for top results. Just saying, if we don't manage to get any one of those, all is not lost. : )


At the moment I'm..
*..very interested in working with Wardrobe stylists or Clothing designers. Also with creative Make-up and/or Hair stylists. I want to help you guys shine, so contact me and we'll have complete artistic license to do whatever we want!
*..wanting to get these ideas on film.. or memory card:
--Shoot inspired by a shoot in Dazed & Confused with lots of glamour, colours, blood and gore.
--Dark and gritty fashion shoot, preferably on a black beach or by some awesome rocks.
--Raw, animalistic pictures using fur (or faux, if you prefer), feathers, lots of make-up and extreme posing.

If you want to collaborate on these ideas, have me explain them further, have ideas of your own or just want beautiful pictures without a specific theme, contact me! I'm willing to try anything at least once. ; )

Hi there

I was wondering whether you might be interested in my casting call for party girls. I know it states female models but I am opening it up to female photographers too - as I feel you too should get the same opportunities as female models.

Regards
