I’m a primarily nude model, interested mostly in art and glamour, but will consider many ideas, including clothes. I’m also sometimes available for work in most artistic mediums, including paintings and sculpture.
I love working with people at any stage of their artistic development, amateurs, pros or hobbyists. The key is to find an agreement that benefits the both of us. This may be through quality images that improve my book, in the form of cash payment, or trades for photographic equipment (I shoot Nikon). My rates are reasonable and flexible. Paid work takes priority, specially when school is in session.
I used to have a list of things Id never do, but it’s a good idea never to say never. If you have any ideas for anything that is not reflected in my port, or ideas that might be edgier or very different from what I currently have up there, just ask. If I’m not into your idea, I’ll just say no. I won’t bite and I won’t think you’re gross, I’ll just say no.
To me, modeling is a way to explore and learn about photography, it is fun, and it allows me to explore my sensuality, my femininity and my humanity. The thought that my prescence could be inspiring or alluring to another human being, and help them create something beautiful, is quite gratifying. I may not like all the pictures that are taken of me, but if you hire me, I will do my best to help you reach your goal.
My time is precious, and so is yours. I know renting studios and hiring a cat-sitter or whatever it is you have to do is not simple. I'm a busy person, like everyone else these days, so I like to plan ahead, I don't like to cancel. This allows me to be better prepared.
I’m flexible and can take direction well, but I can also just do my own posing thing if that is what you need. I understand being cold when shooting outdoors, or getting up early for just the right sunrise is sometimes part of the job. I make the best of it.
Nudity is natural. Laugh, take it easy. Happy shooting.
