About me
"Is the origin of the poem a woman, or is the origin of woman a poem, a mystery that will never be solved." -Syrian poet Nizar Qabbani

Right now I am interested time for print on images relating to Arabic and Latin American poetry, especially as winds of revolution burn the middle east. I look into the themes of exile, joan of arc, poetry, space and time interrupted, life interrupted, love conquering suffer, desert winds of forrest . The imagery of Arabic and Latino poetry, of paradox, symbolism and the yearning of the soul, so many beautiful unexplainable things- I am looking at time for print shoots to explore their themes.

Example: Abbas Ibn Ahnaf - 1000 AD -

When I visit you and the moon

Isn't around to show me the way,

Comets of longing set my heart

So much ablaze, the earth is lit

By the holocaust under my ribs
---

Imagine woman as comets, woman as fire, woman as.... A woman being a metaphor for metaphors .

Nizar Qabbani once said: "Is the origin of the poem a woman, or is the origin of woman a poem, a mystery that will never be solved."

I am half Yemeni, half Russian, and the first known Yemeni-Canadian Miss Universe contestant, resulting in international media coverage, and coverage in every major news publication accross Canada, including the cover of 24-Hours. I am now running for Miss Earth Canada. My rates are reasonable. I promise to add something original to your portfolio. If I am contacting you, there maybe a possibility of a TF shoot.

I also am very professional, and do fashion modeling only. For reasons of faith, I do not shoot bikini, nude, implied nude and No means No. I have an extensive wardrobe, so if one wants evening gown, fashion, ethnic costumes, crazy ideas, something elegant - I am the person you want. For bikini through nude, I can recommend you some colleagues who are amazing but I work with a job where I cannot afford to have any images of that type, even from a boyfriend in his private password locked computer. I respect everyone who I work with and expect the same. :-)

I studied art in highschool and art history in university, and have travelled the world. I love to create art, and still paint, and see modeling as a form of art. If I see an artistic concept I love, I do not mind doing a TF. It is about the concept and work.

I love crazy ideas and I also love beauty- anything innovative or aesthetic or both I find amazing and fun! I love anything with intellectual references also whether to film or philosophy.

If you want art, if you have an interesting concept, if you like fashion - I am your person. I have an extensive library of evening gowns, ethnic costume, fun ideas, am very creative. I see modeling as art, and I am just here for the art, and to enjoy modeling for its own sake.

Again No means No. Yes means Yes. I am professional, I do not kid around. I am very serious about what I do. I will treat you as a photographer with professionalism and respect and would like the same respect and professionalism back.

I love working with great people. When I know the photographer is professional, I can be myself and we both have fun, produce art and a great shoot.
