A little about me
I'm a 23-year-old from Iceland, currently living in London. I finished a course in BA Fine Art Photography from Kingston University last spring and am starting work on an application for an MA in Stockholm at the moment. My plan for my MA work will be focused on shamanism (see my profile picture), magic, rituals and sex in connection with magic. I am very open to doing more erotica too, though if you don't want to do nudity don't be scared.. I do clothed stuff too! If these themes interest you at all, then do get in touch!


Much more recent photos are on my facebook and some more older stuff on flickr, please take a look if you're interested in seeing more. My professional website is aldavilliljos.net and I have an art blog (with my work and inspiration) here.

How I work
If we are going to work together, you should know a couple of 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 you upload pictures from our shoot here and don't tag me, I won't tag you either and we both lose.


Contact
I get regular e-mail updates of messages here, but if you are not a member or want to make sure I will read it asap, my e-mail address is ljosberinn[at]gmail.com.
My mobile number in Iceland is (+354)8463400 and in the UK it's (+44)07587 095 620. I check my e-mail every day though, so don't be afraid to contact me through that, even if it's short notice (just make sure you mention in the subject if it really is short notice)!


Tools of the trade:
* I do not have access to a studio anymore, so shoots will have to be outside or at an indoor location you can supply.. and it would have to be well lit too, as I don't have any proper lights either. I'm planning on getting a proper flash for my camera as my old one broke ages ago, but won't be able to afford it for a little while still.
* I have two digital cameras and a fair number of film cameras, various types. 35mm, medium format, lomo, etc. I like using either digital or film, or both even. Let me know if you have a preference.
* 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..
*really interested in getting into erotic/fetish photography. It will be tasteful and artistic, and I'm very open for ideas for this at the moment!
*got two ongoing projects, (a travel series and a series called Shamans). For the Shamans series I am mostly using people I know as opposed to regular models, but I might be persuaded to use people from here as well.
For anything else, I will not accept tfp work unless your idea really intrigues me, in which case you will have to send me a good description of your idea, not just a couple of keywords.
