“I think I’ll call it a Vesper…once you’ve tasted it, that’s all you want to drink.”
~ James Bond, Casino Royale
Vesper Synd (far right) with model Heather Hellfire and photographer Philip Faith
I am a fetish and burlesque performer who welcomes the opportunity to translate my passions into photographic art. I consider myself dynamic, energetic, and adventurous, and I love to test creative boundaries. I have joined Model Mayhem to shoot with photographers who push artistic limits and would describe their work as anything but safe. My goal is to create images that incite a strong reaction or emotion from the viewer.
Performing "Gone With Leaves" (Oriental fan dance) at Kabaret Kink Fashion Gala, 2010 Montreal Fetish Weekend
I am available for all types of performance work, to include fetish, burlesque, runway, SM performances, aerial (silks, lyra), and dynamic suspensions. I have an extensive dance and theater background, and performing in highly restrictive outfits and full enclosure is not a problem for me.

I shoot for trade when the project will benefit my fetish and burlesque performance career. I would prefer that projects that fall outside the fetish / avant garde / alt genres be paid assignments. I prefer working with makeup artists and stylists on my shoots whenever possible, as I believe it results in a far better finished product. Please note that I will only consider bondage shoots with photographers who are experienced riggers or who have an experienced rigger on set.

I am a hair model, and my hair color and style changes often. Currently, my hair is cut asymmetrically (shoulder length on the right side, chin length on the left) and is vibrant red.
