Raevinfire

I’m going to keep this part simple and to the point!
  With that being said if you haven’t already read the side bar about nudity you should! That will answer the first obvious question that most photographers want to know about models. When I'm looking at other photographers portfolios...I have to say 99% of the time I can tell if you're in it for the 'skin' using a lens to hide the obvious truth. A word of advise to those who do this to those unknowingly models,...your bad angles, bad lighting, bad Photoshop skills, and bad motive.....this is a recipe to anger any model as well as those true photographing artists.

Why am I here on Model Mayhem?
  The first reason I signed up to MM many years ago was as an Alternative Model known as 'Raevinfire' so that I could shoot with other photographers and artists out in the world. Along the way I also became a Fashion Designer 'Raez 'n' Dead Creations'(MM#1689175), Make-up Artist, Actress, Creative Director, and eventually and obviously found my way towards Photography 'Raez 'n' Dead Images'(MM#2262200) something that I have always done as a youngster.

When It Comes To My Version of TFP (Time for Pictures):
  I don't mind trading my time as long as it's going to benefit both of our portfolios, and not seen as a waste of my time. However, if you’re asking for a lot of 'on-set time' and you require a lot of costume changes this of course will be charged as a paying gig. My modeling fee is pretty reasonable, and is available upon request only. This fee includes my own Clothing, Make-up, Hairstyle, and Creative Input. If you require specific Hairstyles/Make-up techniques I would suggest hiring your own MUA or someone you know personally that can successfully produce the look that you require for me…..otherwise those styles will be set according to what have on hand to make that look happen as I the model sees fit. 
  I'm also looking to ‘trade time’ as a model with other Hairstylist, MUA's, and Fashion Designers. If you’re interested, please send me a message with as much detail as possible. I’m always looking for the next outrageous project to jump on! & it’s obvious I can’t model, photograph, & direct every single shoot I’m involved with as a model…..I would rather keep networking & meeting new people and see their input on this division of ‘art’.
________________________________________________________________________
Last note:
  I do bring another 'certified' person to every shoot I attend for my own protection. If I have not shot with you several times or I do not know you personally this is mandatory to have my ‘personal assistant’ and not to be questioned. The ‘personal assistant’ is professional, quite, and does not get in the way of our shoot unless I require assistance. Be advised.

With that following announcement out of the way I'd like to say 'Hello' to future artist! I hope and look forward to working with you someday. Now, let’s get out there and create some jaw dropping art together!!

Any other unanswered questions, …ask away!
Take care!
~Raez

***Travel Notice---I will be doing a modeling tour the rest of 2011 through early 2012. I will announce cities and tentative dates at least 3 weeks to a month prior to travel, unless otherwise noted. Also, if you really want to motivate our shoot together you can help me in one or more ways with the following to make my trip even more possible: You can do this by making accommodations for example a suitable hotel, gas money for the trip there, or even simply by hiring a professional Make-up & Hairstylist etc. Again, this will help me along the way to make these trips possible. Here is the list of cities that I will be visiting so far, all others...Stay tuned!!***
