My name is Jillian and I am eighteen years young. I took a rather long hiatus from the world of photography but now I'm back to embrace it fully. I've been working with models almost two years and I feel blessed to have found my calling in life so young. I've just started attending Montclair State University to study photography, so I'd love to meet some models from the area. But that doesn't mean I can't fill up my schedule before then!
Most of my shoots are done outdoors, though I'm in the process of rigging some portable studio lights. I like to go crazy with props, angles, and concepts, and I LOVE to work with models who can bring an originality and energy to set. I'm always open to new ideas and models of all backgrounds and styles.
I enjoy photographing, but am not limited to: the surreal, the morbid, the alternative, the insane, the whimsical, the offensive; bright colors, tattoos, raw emotion. If any of these fit you, or even if they don't...get at me, I'm ready to shoot!
Also, I understand that a majority of the people on this site do not take lightly to "random adds".
Let it be known that if I add you, 98% of the time it's because I WOULD LIKE to shoot with you in the near future.
