I'm a Cosplay/ Fetish model living it up here in New York City. I've got that IT factor that can spice up any portfolio. Let my charisma and photogenic style work your lens. I also do promotional work for live events. Want to grasp that center of attention with your designs? Send me in and I'll work that crowd!
Though my styles are always changing, I love doing Boudoir, Glamour, Gothic, Cos-Play and Punk Rock. I'm also very well versed in Ethnic costuming. I'm an evolving Chameleon; I've been mistaken for many different cultures depending on how I'm dressed. Even my friends have a hard time recognizing me at various events!
I'm also an experienced Make Up Artist and Stylist. I've worked on Films, quite a few Television shows, Fashion Runways and Portfolios. For more on that visit modelmayhem.com/ImageryByGeishaVi , MM#636060
I'm Available For: TV, Film, Print Advertising, Promotional Work. Cosplay, Lolita, Glamor, Fine Art, Fashion, Alternative Fashion, Lingerie, Editorial, Gothic and Fetish. I’m also experienced in vocal work i.e. voice-overs, etc.
*If interested in me for nude work please have a real artistic concept. I will do nude shoots on a paid assignment basis only. No exceptions. When doing nude shoots please be understanding that I will bring an assistant. This is to make me, your model, feel more comfortable. If we work on a frequent basis I will get to know you and your work. Then I will be more comfortable and not need my assistant to stay.
