My name is Nikki Ferris, but most people know me as Miss Nikki Horror or Nikki Nachtmahr. I am an alternative model and makeup artist.
I am a professionally trained make-up artist, educated at Smashbox Studios, L.A. by the national artistry team and by lead artists with Benefit Cosmetics LLC. After attending fashion school in 2005, I decided to expand my knowledge of the industry and have been working in the field with makeup for three years. I have my own kit of professional, studio-quality make-up products and brushes.
I've been modeling since 2005 as well, but haven't been as serious about modeling as I have been about makeup until recently. I have been featured on InkedMag.com as an Inked Babe of the Day as well as World Horror Network's WHN Girl for June 2009 and BrutalAsHell.com's Vicious Vixen for July 2009. I also have been fortunate enough to have rocked the runway for Fierce Couture at Fangoria's Weekend of Horrors 2009. I am also a part of the Transylvanian Dolls Modeling Group.
*News flash!* I have just accomplished my greatest feat thus far in modeling...making it into a magazine! I'll be featured inside Car Kulture Deluxe's October 2009 issue as a Deluxe Gal.
I enjoy doing both makeup and modeling very much. I challenge myself to be a jack of all trades and have my hands in every role in the industry. I enjoy being involved in the whole creative process, and hope that each experience will help me become a successful photo stylist someday.
I have long legs and arms, a nice waist, and lots of hips and bum, haha. This makes me especially good for pinup photography, but I love to do anything creative and out of the ordinary and especially "themed" shoots. I enjoy vintage/rockabilly pin-up, punk, horror, high fashion, alternative, fetish, etc, but can accomplish all styles. I am used to wearing extensions and wigs.
I'm looking to build my portfolio as a make-up artist and also as a model, so at this time I am accepting TFP/TFCD offers. When I travel to location in San Diego as a makeup artist, I require a $50 kit fee for the cost of my makeup and gas.
Projects and Ideas I'm interested in right now:
Abandoned buildings:
I am looking to do a bunch of photos in abandoned areas of southern california. Urban exploration is exciting to me and I think torn up and gutted buildings make great backdrops for striking photos. If you know of a place you want to shoot, I'm your girl! I will though, of course, be bringing an escort/assistant, and you can bring one too if you like.
-Vintage Cheesecake Pin-up
-Dark/Horreur/Glam/Soft Fetish
-Vintage Glamour (Boudior)
-Modern Rockabilly Pin-up
I have a few more ideas I'd like to accomplish to add to my portfolio so if you like what you see, hit me up
And yes, you can find me on good ol' myspace: myspace.com/nikkihorror2
Thanks!
