As an infant I was dropped on my head and that seems to have damaged the part of my brain that normally causes men to want to photograph women in tiny string bikinis, lingerie or nude. Who would have thought that could happen?
What remains is the apparently far less common interest of photographing women wearing evening gowns, long flowing skirts, almost anything with polka dots or stripes, or simple little black dresses with pearls. Professionals who do research in this area of the brain have assured me that, although my condition is rare, it's not totally bizarre. Aside from this "condition", I'm a fairly normal, responsible person.
I use MM exclusively for personal projects, for which I seek women who can self-style for a shoot, to create looks that are elegant and graceful, without being pretentious or affected. If you understand the grace of pearls, that polka dots are pretty and that black is a fabulous color, then we'll probably work well together.
I also love shooting gentle runway shows and showroom events. Please let me know of you are scheduled for any of that and I'll do my best to get credentials :-)

Claudia Kiss... If there's one thing I value in a model beside beauty, grace and kindness, it's the ability to change wardrobe in public...
