Ellie Retrophilia

I am a painter and artist, my work can be found on my myspace at http://www.myspace.com/daniellesmithsart as well as at http://www.myspace.com/kustomretrophilia

**I am a new Pinup Angel in Training so any photographers that can help me add retro/pinup style photos to my portfolio would be most appreciated.  The Pinup Angels are a group of lovely ladies that raise money to send care packages overseas to deployed military personnel.  They raise this money through a variety of ways:  selling prints of their pinup/retro photos, doing fundraisers, selling handmade goods or through good ol' donations. **

-I am big into classic cars/hot rods and the retro/subculture style.  I would describe my style as more subculture but when I dress up either professionally or for going out on the town I tend to have a 1940s-1950s style with a bit of edge, normally I'm the girl found in jeans, tshirt with a studded belt and wallet chain...I can expand my style if need be for any shoot.  I've got tons of clothes and lots of props!
-My main goal is to basically get my name out there as an artist and hopefully do a little promo modeling in the meantime.  I do paintings for charity work as well as promo use.  I also paint shoes and purses, ask me!
-I am willing to travel but need alot of time in advance to plan. 
-I prefer not to do nude or implied nude shoots as I am not comfortable with that at this time and I do bring an escort, either male or female. 
-I am an amateur model so anyone who can help me expand my portfolio would be excellent...I am looking for TFP/TFCD mostly.     
-I can do my own hair and makeup but if a photographer prefers to use their MUA that's perfectly fine by me. 
-My hair is dark brown/black, mostly straight and past my shoulder blades with long bangs that can be trimmed into bettie or kimora bangs.
-I am brimming with ideas if someone wants to pick my brain for future shoots with me.  I generally like to let the photographer have artistic freedom but if they're game for a little experimentation outside of the box, I'm all about brainstorming.
-I have a few tattoos:  one on the upper left arm, the inside of my left wrist, back of my neck and across my back. 

~If you would like to shoot, having specific dates in mind that you are free helps me plan and coordinate my schedule accordingly.  I have to be able to coordinate with a sitter and an escort and knowing what dates makes it easier.

Also, I have had several disappointments in the past where photos either were not given to me or took over 4 months to get back.  Please do not set a date if you do not intend to let me use the photos.  Your time is valuable as is mine and I would like to be able to use the photos from that time spent.~

Thank you for checking my profile out and I look forward to hopefully working with some of you in the future!
