I am a Makeup and Hair artist, agency represented in NYC, Miami, LA, and Dallas.
This is 100% how I make my living, and I absolutely love what I do. Hair AND Makeup on all images by me unless credited otherwise, and I am equally strong at both. I work mainly Commercial and Advertising with some editorial thrown in to keep me sane ;-)
I live in Miami and New York, but I am on the road constantly.
I AM currently looking for a few assistants, please feel free to drop me a line. I don't bite. :-)
About testing..... paid testing is priced as industry standard.....
Unfortunately, I don't have much time for testing. I am at the point where tests for my book (aka free shoots) need to have a concept, a stylist, storyboards, a shot list, locations scouted, an art director and a magazine to send it to.
I just don't have the time to test just to shoot, nor do I need "portfolio building" - I prefer to be involved in the model picking process. (yes, I work directly with all the big agencies too. Good agency girls are a necessity :-)
For booking that isn't testing or if you'd like to see more of my work, check out:

I have a valid passport and LOOOOOOOOOVE to travel. So far I've shot in the US/Hawaii, Europe, Latin America, the Caribbean and Puerto Rico :-)
