NEW PORTFOLIO FOUND AT
http://raine-angel.daportfolio.com
I'm a mermaid. Let's make some magical photos. In regards to mermaid shots, I can do underwater or on land. I have two different mermaid shell bras. One that seemingly has no straps and uses smaller shells. It's the one featured in the current images. it's good for images where I have to stay still but because it's home-made it's not great for a lot of moving or underwater. The other bra I have is a strapless that has the options for straps (straps are nearly always essential when underwater and can be made to work with the outfit using 'sea plants') and uses larger shells. it's a bit bulkier and works better for underwater shots. Instead of bras multiple wooden, pearl, rock, and beaded necklaces can be worn at once for that siren effect... and we can talk about topless and how that could work.
The tail is light-weight but is not latex. It does retain a similar shine to it in certain light conditions. I however can't walk in this suit! I often have an assistant accompany me to shoots to help me change positions and move around.
For underwater shots I must wear clear silicone in my ears. They rarely show up in photos but are easy to edit out if they do.
Fell like donating to my new mermaid tail cause?

I have a full time job and sadly have to shoot around it! Evenings, weekends, and holidays. Occasionally I have days off for doctors appointments and may have time in between.

I have short redish hair, ears pierced, nose pierced (can be removed or photo-shopped) and lots of freckles!

Many people know I've been dealing with some extreme health issues and am currently in a rehabilitation program to ensure I am able to continue walking! I'm having an experience with modeling very close to one I had with guitar when I broke my fingers and had to learn to play all over again. Due to my limitations I've had to really push myself and stretch, I've had to evolve. When you evolve, you start refining. I believe I'm in that process
------------------------------------------------------------
I only do TFP and am ALWAYS looking to work with new people. Though there are artistic nude images in my portfolio I do not automatically model for nudes. The images you see are the product of a long friendship and were a step in the direction of helping myself feel empowered during my illness and treatment. I'm if you enjoy them but please don't take it personal or be offended If I politely refuse your offer for AN photographing.
Beyond that, I'm getting quite experienced with my mermaid tail which is now fitted with a better fluke

It's 100% swimable and I'm capable of underwater photos if you're interested. The only restriction to the suit is that I can't walk in it so I usually have an assistant help me move around during shoots
I'm fun loving, adventurous and really enjoy modeling as an artistic outlet. I'm not looking to make a name for myself with it but I do require some if not total control over where and how the images are distributed as I work in the child education field professionally. Those details can always be negotiated in a model release form
I'M A MUSICIAN and am always loving the live-concert shots! If you're a photographer looking to expand your photojournalism let me know I'd love to have you shoot me live!
