UPDATES & NEWS

Currently staying in: Bloomington, IN

-I am planning new travel for late winter/early spring! Check out my Travel Schedule for specific cities and time frames.

-With heaviness in my heart, I must announce that I don't think I'll be returning to Philly, or the East Coast in general, unless I can land a professional internship out there. If you're an East Coaster with connections, any networking is greatly appreciated. Until then, you can find me in Bloomington, Indiana. I will be considering short-term travel opportunities in IN/IL/OH. Longer-term travel will be planned for early Spring. Keep checking this space for updates on the insanity that is the life of another jobless college graduate trying to make a buck.

-I finally have a Facebook fan page! Add it here: www.facebook.com/hollisireland13

TRAVEL SCHEDULE

Chicago: Feb. 29 - March 4. (Can easily extend my stay for paid work! Do not hesitate to contact me if you can only book before or after my specific time frame.)

Columbus, OH: HorrorHound Weekend, March 22-25. I may or may not be taking bookings, but I will definitely be partying at the convention. Shoot me a message if you think you can entice me to work.

New Orleans, LA/Houston, Austin, & Dallas, TX: April. (Yes, I am considering doing this tour again! You guys were great! Specific dates to come within a month or so.)

Potential Arizona tour. Unsure of exact cities at this time, but I may add this state onto the end of my NOLA/TX tour. I've never been to AZ before, so message me if you'd like to put yourself on my travel list.

Potential, multi-city Ohio tour sometime this year. Considering Columbus, Cincinnati, Dayton, and Cleveland.

The Basics (Everything You Need To Know Before Booking Me)

Genres I’ll Shoot:  Glamour, Artistic, Fashion, Nudes, Alternative, Horror, Fetish, Erotic, Hustler-style, and whatever else you can dream up. You name it, I'll be happy to shoot it! (If you're paying me, I'll do just about any concept you like. However, my taste in photography is a bit off-color. The more bizarre, strange, weird, creepy, horrifying, offensive, and not-of-this-world, the better. Think Joel-Peter Witkin meets Stephen King meets Chuck Palahniuk meets Gunther Van Hagens (with a little bit of H.R. Giger).)

Trade Shoots: I am currently accepting very, very few trade gigs. You MUST provide a *professional, stellar* stylist who can do hair and make-up, or I will not consider your offer. For the most part, I only consider trade for publication/tear sheets/clothing designers, fashion/clothed work, and horror/gore/macabre/goth/dark-themed shoots.

Transportation: I have my own car (that doesn't break down) and can easily come right to your shoot location. When traveling by air, I will almost always rent a car. I despise public transportation.

Lodging: I generally do not consider staying with photographers or “TF lodging” offers unless we have previously worked together.  I also rarely accept “TF hotel room” offers. I prefer to have complete control over where I stay, and that will usually be with a friend/known photog/model or at a hotel.

Rate: I never post my rate publicly, but based on those who do, I’d say I’m cheaper than you probably think. PM me for details. I can occasionally negotiate depending on content type and travel involved.

Limits: I am comfortable with everything from clothed/fashion to artistic, Playboy-style nudes through erotic, Hustler-style nudes. I am also experienced in all types of fetish work. Need a better description or more details? PM me and I'll answer anything!

References: I have a ton listed under my "Credits" section. Feel free to message anyone listed there or any of the photographers who are tagged in my portfolio photos.

Pre-Shoot Phone Conversations I absolutely MUST have the following information IN PRINT before I oblige a pre-shoot phone call: Shoot length (ballpark, at least); rate agreed upon; explicit detail of type of poses/content required; location; arrival time. I will NOT speak to anyone on the phone until I have these basic details IN PRINT in my MM inbox or via email. Keeping printed records of shoot conversations and details is a smart thing to do.

Escorts: I haven’t used an escort in 4 years and hey, I’m still alive! I may be dropped off at any given shoot by a male travel partner, but he will not be attending the shoot.

Hair/Make-up: My skills are very limited, but very passable depending on what you need. I cannot do a damn thing with my hair. I bring a few decorative clips to spice up my shoulder-length, straight hair if needed. Unless you hire a stylist or ask me to bring a clip/pony tail, expect it straight and down at my shoulders. My make-up skills are (finally!) slowly improving, but I cannot attempt any high-fashion, professional-level looks. I just don't have the skills. I can do variations on some basic looks, but that is where my talent ends.

My Modeling Philosophy/Attitude: I enjoy working with photographers of all skill levels. My job is to help you create your art, realize your concepts, and leave you with nothing less than the physical version of what was once only in your mind. My opinion of your concept, professional status, or photography skills has absolutely no bearing on my decision to work with you or the overall effort I will put into your shoot.  When you make the commitment to pay me for my time, I make a commitment to you, your valuable time, and your concept. I put 110% effort into every shoot I book. When working with me, you NEVER need to worry about divas, flakes, bitching, or excuses!  I'm a genuine person with a professional attitude and a down-to-earth personality. I dare you not to enjoy having me in front of your camera and in your conversations.


Did I forget something? PM me if you’re interested in booking or just have a question for me! I’m friendly and will respond to ALL messages (but will do so obnoxiously if you’re an asshole ).
