I am ShiXhi, pleasure to make your acquaintance.
I don't think of my modeling as a hobby but I won't and don't go around calling myself a professional. Modeling is an art form to me. I am an artist. I love to create art. This is something I really enjoy. I do my own hair and make up and wardrobe styling. However, if make-up and wardrobe are provided and discussed ahead of time, I am game. I am a very easy to get along with person and fun to work with.
My skin is modified. I have two tattoos about to have a third and fourth. Currently, one on my stomach between my navel and pelvis and another on my back down my spin. My third and fourth will soon be on the backs of my upper arms.
My Portfolio: I am always interested in expanding my portfolio and exploring various territories of modeling. If you feel, as a photographer, MUA, hair/wardrobe stylists, or model, that you have something of grand interest to give my portfolio a bit more depth, edge, and substance you are welcome to contact me.
Types of shoots: Currently, since I am still pretty green to all of this, I am TFCD/TFP. However, if there is the opportunity of being paid for my work, I won't be opposed. I'm not expensive or unreasonable. Of course it depends on what kind of shoot it is.
I give 100% and like to have fun while being professional. I am adaptable and personally feel I can do just about any kind of genre of photography out there. I have a great attraction towards, but not not limited to, fetish, erotica, erotic/artistic nudes, highly theatrical, Visual Kei/ Japanese Street fashion influenced work, 1920's- 40's vintage glamor, 1920- 40's cabaret glamor, Gothic glamor, commercial and alternative fashion photography. I love high contrast, deeply rich, and acidic washes of light and color. I am not opposed to working with MUAs, other models, wardrobe stylists, etc. If it is something I feel I could/can do, I will do it. If it is not, then lets work something else out and see what can be arranged.
Bookings: If you have a concept or an idea and feel that I can fit the bill, let me know. Contact me through PM. Don't send me anything through tags or photo comments. If you and I agree to work together, we have to meet for a "coffee/tea" date. There is no way around this. I don't discuss shoots in detail online unless we are both not in the same city. I don't do photo shoots without discussion unless we click really well. This provides us both the opportunity to gauge how we get along in person and how well we vibe. I will not get offended if you feel that we will not work out.
Photographers: I, myself, am an artist. I am a very imaginative and creative person. I have my own ideas and concepts as do you. I am not just a body of skin available for the use of just any and every photographer. Photographers who are firm believers in COLLABORATION are a must. I am not here to stroke your ego, deem you a visual god, and/or fan service you. I am not expecting that from you so don't expect it from me. I am always up for hearing out and giving your concepts a chance, I ask that you do the same with and for mine.
I don't sit and wait for photographers to come to me. I go to whomever has that spark that tickles my artistic fancy.
Sessions/Shoots: Again, I am an artist myself. I am a very imaginative and creative person. I have my own ideas and concepts as do you. I am not just a body of skin available for the use of just any and every photographer out there. What is discussed and decided upon during our meeting/date is what we do. Unless fair warning is given that things might change so then I can prepare. If you are someone with a beautiful vision be it tragic, alternative, of fantasy, extravagance, extreme, dirty (as in gritty not naughty), and messy feel free to write me.
Escorts: I don't bring escorts unless you consider my ipod an escort.
Flaking: It is something I don't do. When I schedule shoots, they are set in stone unless something comes up. There are only three reasons as to why I won't be able to make a shoot; work, sickness, or death. Other than that, I make my appointments. I expect to be called either ahead of time or at least 3 hours before our scheduled shoot if anything comes up on your end. The same goes for me.
Friend requests: I pay attention to friends requests but I would prefer that you at least message me and speak with me for a bit before sending me one or we've exchanged a few tags. I screen everyone. If you are accepted, good for you. If you are denied, how you feel is NOT something I will be made responsible for. Your portfolio is probably something I don't want to be associated with.
Do NOT contact me in any of the following cases:
- If you are a GWC (Guy with Camera)/ FAUX-TOGRAPHER. If I feel that you are such a person, I will, politely, turn down your offer. Just because you have an expensive camera doesn't mean you are a talented photographer.
-If you are a "nude no exceptions" type. We will not be working together. My "nakedness" in anyone's work is a privilege not a right. If you have a vision that can't be denied, your work is just stunning and tasteful, and we vibe really well, then I'll take you on. If you are other wise, please look else where.
- If you are with some Agency that I can't google and find a legit site for. If you are a spammer, I'm sure there is a special place in hell for you. If you are legit, be aware of the fact now that I am short. Agencies want 5'8" or taller. I don't even make it to 5'2" unless I have really tall heels on.
-If you deal with anything and everything that resembles porn or pornographic material I don't agree with. If you want porn models, go to craigslist for that.
With that all aside, I say hello. Let's destroy the world and make it in our vision, shall we?
