Tierney James

January 2012 - Slooowly updating portfolio. Booking for late Feb/March.

I'm an OKC-based model and burlesque performer, stage name Eva Aphrodisia. I can be found performing all around the metro area with my troupe, 7 Deadly Sins Revue. (I'm also a writer and aspiring filmmaker and would love to hear from anyone on that end of the business - more information on that part of my resume will be on the in-the-works website.) I like vibrant, sensual photographs. I love great lighting, both natural outdoor light and old-Hollywood black and white. I'm particularly interested in doing more classic pin-up photography.

Now, I apparently have not said this clearly or forcefully enough in the past, so here's where I get strident: Nudes and lingerie are PAID ONLY, no exceptions. I pay for my gym, I pay for my full-body wax, I pay in the time and effort spent in working out, not eating carbs, and giving up my precious free time to get naked and create lovely photos for you...consequently, you pay me. I will do TFCD only in rare cases, if I feel that there's the opportunity for something especially unique and beneficial. If you contact me and ignore the "paid assignments only" note on my profile, I will not bother to respond to you, since you didn't bother to read. My rates are $50/hr for clothed shoots, $75/hr for topless/lingerie, and $100/hr for full nude.

As far as shoots, I have no problem with nudity, erotic art or fetish stuff, but I don't do Hustler-style open-leg shots or anything of that nature. Also no humiliation-porn stuff, I find it gross. (Speaking of porn: I don't do it. Please don't bother telling me you need an "actress" for a "love scene" - for a movie which mysteriously has no script - and so on. I promise, even if you get me to show up, once I'm there I'll be able to tell the difference. I won't stay, and you will have wasted my time and yours.)

Tattoos: None, but I wear fake ones all the time.

Piercings: None.

Scars: I have some, mostly around the upper chest and shoulders. They were left by blistering after a severe sunburn and depending on the lighting might need retouching.

Skills: I'm athletic, and good at poses that display the body and musculature for fitness, figure and artistic modeling, as well as in-motion shots. I can strike difficult poses and hold them for long periods of time, and I'm not averse to climbing trees or tackling rough terrain in six-inch heels to get the shot. I come with a fairly extensive wardrobe of rhinestones, corsets and feathers. I also have experience as an artist's model and actress, and would like to do more of both.

Most importantly, I'm creative, engaged and have a good eye, so I like to think that I bring more to the process than just standing there. If hired, I consider it my job to not just be a human prop but to actively collaborate to make sure the photographer gets the best images possible.
