Sweet Surrender

***NOTE:  Starting January 31st, I will no longer be doing nude shoots for TF, unless it is a project we have already discussed, a project that I come to YOU with, or if it's a super amazing concept that I would give my right arm to do.  My rates for nudes are very reasonable, and this does NOT include implied nudes.  I will still continue to do those TF provided that it is tasteful and something that I feel would benefit both our portfolios.  Thank you for understanding!***



My real name is Tiffany, and I am an alternative model in the Nashville area. Just so you know, I am NOT skinny...nor am I fat.  I am very curvy and "blessed" (or cursed, however you wanna look at it) up above. Some of my curves are not in the right places---having kids will do that to a woman's body! (Insert Photoshop here....lol).  I eat right, but don't diet; I exercise on a daily basis, but only work out about twice a week.  I'M HEALTHY.....not anorexic, bulemic, or obese---I'm happy with my body.   I love modeling, as well as any other forms of art.  Some people have called me goth in the past, although I don't really consider myself that so much...I'm just me, and I'm happy with that...I can pull off most looks that are thrown at me...anything from horror to goth to modern to pin up to fetish.  The thing that I love most about my modeling is that it is the perfect way for me to express myself creatively.  I greatly admire all the photographers, MUA's and other models, as well as wardrobe designers, etc. for their amazing talent in this industry, and I'm looking to work with them to further my creative expression of myself.   

A few of my likes: Burlesque, grindhouse, vinyl, platform boots, bondage (classy, not trashy), steampunk, stripes--especially black and white or black and red, corsets, creepy looking masks, gas masks, old timey gangster stuff--depression era such as Bonnie and Clyde, twisted faerie tales, Alice In Wonderland, Witches--both good and evil, cemeteries, creepy abandoned buildings/warehouses, fog, moonlight, the Fall when the leaves turn, snow, Hot Topic, thrift stores, rat rods and other vintage hot rods, metal music, rockabilly music, and rock music in general, faeries, and all Medieval stuff, Indian culture (meaning from India, not Native American), black and white photography, Betty Page, Halloween,  horror/gore, Rob Zombie, motorcycles, tattoos, piercings and other body modifications, and pretty much anything out of the norm.


As you can see, I have quite a few tattoos and other modifications. 

Current tattoos include:


*Cupcake on outer left forearm

*Nautical stars, one on the outside of each wrist

*Frankenstein girl on inner left forearm

*Traditional art piece of a rose, locket and key on entire upper
  left arm

*Amy Brown faerie on right bicep

*Faerie mask (Mask of Truth) on my chest

*Faerie/butterfly wings on the back of my neck

*Angel in the center of my back**

*Small pixxie on right shoulder blade**

*Celtic tribal pentacle on lower back

*SOL (band) logo on right hip**

**indicates that they will be covered with something bigger, better, and more colorful soon!


Modifications/Piercings include:

*Tongue

*Left Nostril

*Bridge

*Cartilage X 2 on Right Ear

*Ear Lobes (gauged to a "0")



I prefer to stay around the Nashville area, but I am willing to do some traveling, as I have family and many friends in Birmingham, AL. I also have traveled to Kentucky and would be willing to do so again, as well as other states in the future.  If you would like to shoot and are not from the Nashville area, (and even if you are) just let me know what it is you would like to do, and if I like your work (which in most cases I don't turn down any opportunity as I see each one as an asset to further my creative expression) we can definitely set something up!  Just make sure to give me at least 2 weeks notice if at all possible, especially if you're from out of the Nashville area.  So with all of that said, let's shoot!

*********************************
A few things to know about me: 

* I will not do nudes for just anybody. Only if I have already worked with you, greatly admire your work, or know you personally, will I shoot fully nude with you. Please, if you have a concept and it involves nudity, partial nudity, or even implied nudity, please contact me and we can discuss the idea.  If I haven't worked with you before, I would prefer, if possible, to meet in person so I can get to know you first if I am to shoot any kind of nudity--implied or otherwise-- with you.  This way, I'm more comfortable with you, and the more comfortable I am, the more relaxed I will be at the time of the shoot.  I WILL NOT shoot nudes that involve sex toys, porn, or the like.  I WILL be open to horror/gore nudes (ESPECIALLY these!) and artistic nudes only!  *To quote another model here on MM, "I will not be doing any demonstrations on where babies come from, or how babies get here!"

*I also will not do porn, so please don't ask.

*I am open to do some fetish work, however, I will approve each fetish shoot on a case by case basis.

*I will ALWAYS bring a male escort with me to every shoot (if I've already worked with you and I'm comfortable with you, then most likely, my escort will not come, unless the shoot involves wardrobe changes), so if this is a problem, I'm sorry.  Please keep in mind that at a shoot, it is best that a model is totally comfortable, otherwise, it shows in the shots. Having a familiar face there makes me feel COMPLETELY relaxed.  My escort is my assistant---meaning, he helps me with my wardrobe, getting dressed and undressed, and even from time to time, will be HAPPILY willing to help the photographer in any way that is needed!  He will in NO WAY interfere with the shoot.  (Just ask ANY of the photographers that I have already worked with) He knows better! 

*It was quoted by Bunny Yeager in Bettie Page Confidential, "She had excellent facial features and she knew all the body positions to make her figure look like it was perfect, even though it was not."  I've done enough shoots by now in different positions, angles and views to know which ones work and which ones do not; I know which positions and views look flattering on me and which do not.  If you need to know these, please let me know before the shoot.  I am happy to try new things and I love new ideas and funky angles.  But also, please trust me if I tell you that I know a certain angle won't work with me.  I'm not difficult to work with (just ask any photographer I've already worked with) and I take direction very well.

*As far as compensation for shoots, I prefer TFP/CD, since I am mainly doing my modeling simply as a creative outlet and for the admiration of the art.  However, if travel is involved (meaning, out of the Nashville Metro area in Middle Tennessee, and meaning that YOU contact ME to travel), I will also need to be compensated for travel...i.e. gas money especially, and quite possibly food...don't worry.  I'm not a big eater by any means.

*If we're shooting TF, we will need to discuss how and when I will be receiving any pics.  I'm not a pushy person when it comes to turn-around time, but I would hope that the pic or pics would be available within the time that was already pre-discussed.  I totally understand that things come up (I'm a mother of a 6 year old, and I, too, have another full time job that pays my bills), but all I'm asking for really is communication.  If an agreed-upon date cannot be met, please...PLEASE keep me posted!  Again, I TOTALLY understand how busy people can get and I'm COMPLETELY okay with that! 

*I am willing to do lingerie, but, like the fetish shots, I will approve each on a case by case basis.

*I can do my own make-up and hair, but I would love to also work with stylists, as well as wardrobe designers.

*And last but not least, I love any kind of rock music (especially Rob Zombie's and the Misfits' stuff and other metal/rockabilly/punk), so the more I get into the music I hear during a shoot, the more I get into the shoot itself.

------------------------------

Recently, I've had some ideas for a few shoots I would like to do, so if there are any MUA's and photographers who are interested, please let me know!

*I found an old photograph in a book on the history of photography that was taken around the early 1936 by Heinz Hajek-Halke titled "Black and White Nude".  I very much want to recreate this, only with a modern twist.  It would be a black and white photo, and I have other poses in mind as well that would represent opposites as well as the beauty of women's curves and femininity.

*I want to do a pillow fight theme, only a little more goth/industrial in nature.  2 models, me included, in corsets, stockings, etc. on a bed, fluffy pillows, feathers, etc.  Only with a darker theme. 

*I also want to do some water shots, INCLUDING possibly some gore shots, such as a blood bath.

*I am very much interested in doing more studio shoots.  I do like on location shoots, but I haven't gotten to do many studio shoots.

*I'm also looking to get some night time shots downtown Nashville...including Printer's Alley (I would also like some shots at Printer's Alley during the early evening, or early morning).

*I would love to do some steampunk shots, and would need some wardrobe/clothing designers, MUA's etc for this idea.

*I would also like to do something associated with guitars--electric guitars and rock and roll....possibly suggested nudity.
