I've pretty much quit modeling for photography lately. It overwhelms me. Thanks for visiting my profile though. IF you are on the Eastern Shore of Mobile bay & want to shoot HERE, we might be able to work something out though.
***For ARTISTS (painters, sculptors, etc): ***
I have been working as a figure model since Jan. 2011. My first 6 months of experience were obtained at the Arkansas Arts Center Museum school in Little Rock & with other artists in their private studios (references are available). I am currently modeling for sculpture classes at the Fairhope, AL Eastern Shore Art center.
MY artist's model RATES* are:
$15/hr for portrait and clothed work
$20/hr for nude & draped work
*There will be additional charges to cover gas cost for those living more than 20 miles outside of my area. *I do prefer that sessions run a minimum of 2 hrs. and a maximum of 5 hrs.
Poses/times/breaks:
I can hold most all poses for a minimum of 20 min, with 5 min rest/stretch breaks in between (10 min breaks for more difficult poses and/or sessions exceeding 3 hours). *Simple seated, reclined & lying down poses can be held for much longer periods w/ fewer breaks.*
PHOTOS:
I do allow for artists to snap some photos while I am in the pose - this way referenced work can continue after our time is up. All I ask is that said photos not be posted anywhere online (of course!) or emailed to others outside of the project. And I also request that the photos/files please be disposed of once the project has been completed.
*Tips are always welcome, but in no way are they expected/required*
ALSO...
If anyone can suggest additional area centers/galleries who may need model services, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!
As for working with strictly PHOTOGRAPHERS....
My rates for portrait/clothed are the same as listed above in the artist rates. But my rates for lingerie/implied/nude are much higher & will vary depending upon the project details.
My hair changes color. A lot.
If I've sent you a Friend request, it's because you're local/close to my area & I'd love to work with you someday! Scheduling can be pretty tricky for me sometimes. I prefer shooting on Sundays, that usually works best for me.
Three favors that I ask of you:
1 - Do NOT contact me about shooting & then require/request that I pay you!!!!!
2 - PLEASE only friend request if you are genuinely interested in working w/ me.
3 - Please do drop me a message or leave a tag if you are going to 'friend' me.
PAID projects ALWAYS take priority...
However, I DO shoot TF* with select photographers - PLEASE ASK if you are interested - but also be understanding if I am not able to accept your offer. *travel compensation may be required* All other shoots will require a reasonable hourly model fee and/or other prearranged trade agreement (Clothes, props, etc.).
If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a message & I will respond as quickly as possible.
Thanks for visiting my portfolio & best wishes!
