e-string

Hair: Will have a new headshot soonish. I am a demonstration hair model at Tigi Academy so my style changes somewhat frequently, but the general idea will stay the same for a while now - short and coppery red/ginger. Currently I'm heading towards a sweet undercut.

Note: Due to my roller derby obsession and frequent life drawing work, I am often behind on MM related messages etc., so if you're waiting for a response, I promise it's not personal! I will get back with you when I am able, probably within a few weeks.

My profile is long-ish but organised, and you'll likely find everything you need to know here.

~Extensive portfolio on deviantART
~Facebook (needs updating)

I also have a photography portfolio (though I really need to get shooting again): e-stop, MM# 456279.

I love film. Especially squares.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thanks for viewing! My name is Erin. Creating art with wonderful artists and friends is my passion. I love fashion as well but am always happy to be nude. It's freeing, anywhere and everywhere.

I am a versatile, published professional with credits and references. If you're curious about shooting, ask! Preferably in a message, not a tag or comment.

I could write a flowery exposition on why and how I so dearly love our little corner of the world we call art... but I shouldn't have to. I hope that you see my sheer devotion, joy, and bare soul in the photographs. I hope you are moved. I'm not happy if I can't evoke an emotion (any emotion) in those who view my work, and I'll keep striving to create something meaningful. I have at times been called 'muse' by a special few, and I do not use that term lightly.

I do not have the most beautiful face, nor a perfect body. However, I do know how to pose, and work with my assets. Freely or with direction, simple or contorted. I still practice and am always learning. I'm relatively flexible, creative, willing to make a fool of myself in pursuit of a good shot, and can hold still for periods of time.

~I show up on time, prepared, and wearing a great big genuine smile. (I laugh. A lot!) If you have a concept that entails difficult conditions of any sort, I'm your girl. I love the challenge and will work hard to make sure you get what you envisioned... or better. I seek beauty, conventional and otherwise. I seek to inspire.

~I am available for paid assignments with photographers of any level. My rates are a great deal. If you're a newer photographer, I bring my experience to the table and enjoy sharing what I've learned.
~Also available for very select TFwhatever (P, CD, sushi, shoes, etc). I don't put a price on art, and I'm always willing to discuss things!
~If makeup, hair, and/or styling is needed, our results will usually be far better if it is not done by me. I love collaboration with all members of a team.
~I live in a large Victorian house which is a great shoot location and is easily accessible by train from central London.

~My skin is clear and smooth, with a few minor imperfections. I avoid lines from the sun and tight clothing before a shoot.
~My stats are current and accurate.
~I look good in my glasses. I also have contacts. My eyes change colour.
~I have piercings - 1 in each ear, 1 in my navel. All are removable. No tattoos.

~Interested in: Mainly art, of any kind. Some beauty, editorial, fashion (including runway), commercial, lifestyle.

~I absolutely love to travel and will do so anywhere in the world if expenses are covered, which can be the sole form of compensation. I just want to get to work with as many artists as possible!

I live in London now but will be back to visit in the U.S. Most often it'll be Chicago and eastern Iowa, and probably NYC and L.A. And anywhere else you want me!


No makeup, hairstyling, or retouching:

I also love to pose for other types of art.

I can wear clothes. Sometimes I even enjoy it.





I'm a London Rollergirl, and my team is the Steam Rollers... no, roller derby isn't the most brilliant idea for a nude model and violinist, but too bad, I'm hooked. On the bright side, I'm more muscular now.
I have a music degree and a media studies concentration from St. Olaf College, and a post-baccalaureate paralegal certificate. I play violin (27 years experience) and a few other instruments, and I sing a little. More things I love: nature and animals, The Beatles, Tolkien, Kubrick, David Lynch, and Bill Hicks.. to name a mere few. Oh, and zombies.
