**BIO**
I've been a freelance art model for almost two years now, though it feels like longer. I'm experienced with many talented local artists and I take my modeling very seriously. I am only looking for opportunities to really expand my portfolio/book paid work/create some interesting art! I'm interested in networking with other members who can critique, teach and inspire me.
I mainly consider myself an alternative art model. I dabble in fine art nudes, what you might call alternative art nude and a bit of glamour. I'm a very versatile model and happy to shoot whichever genre appeals to you.
I have learned I am not a model for just a pretty face and Barbie-doll body. I don't look like that, I'm not into that, its not my thing. Instead I play to my strengths. I have an interesting body and I love to use it to show form or emotion. I must be engaged in the subject or we get crap that is neither pretty nor interesting. If you want me to do boring shoots, you'll probably get boring results... Time for your thinking caps!
FINE ART MODELING
I began modeling doing fine art nude and implied nude. I have been fortunate that several local fine art photographers have hired and paid me for my modeling skills. I have been hired for local workshops in the past and several in the near future.
I usually do this type of modeling for pay unless I find it will seriously benefit my portfolio or your art really speaks to me. My rates are very low and very negotioable.
ALTERNATIVE ART MODELING
I consider alternative anything that's obviously not mainstream. I shoot fine art nudes because I'm good and it pays. I shoot anything alternative because it makes me soul happy to create something that speaks a message that resonates with me. I always strive for versatility, duality and uniqueness. I'm interested in everything and anything unusual and surreal. ...not so much gore, but macabre yes.
However, I'm not interested in anything seriously pornographic.

**Hair/Makeup/Wardrobe**
- Hair is usu straightened (unfortunately my hair skills are lacking)

- I don't really have a shoot wardrobe/costumes because I primarily shoot nudes but I have been putting a few items/props together...
**Contact/Shooting**

- What type of project: fine art or alternative

Compensation
Alternative modeling I do for the sake of art.
Fine art nude modeling needs to be a paid shoot unless you can offer me other compensation, such as Gallery showing, publication, wardrobe, or for example, you fly me to Cali/Phoenix/Ohio. Ask for my "rates" or make me an offer! I am pretty negotioable. Super amazing artists ignore this "compensation" formality
I don't demand a CD of images but I do ask to at least see most of the proofs. I often only post one or two images from any given shoot, so I prefer to be allowed to have selective input on which photographs will be edited for my own use.
Sorry, not interested in:
...creepy/perverted GWCs.
...TF* that is not on my same level or won't benefit my port
...paying you (unless I ask you for rates)
...over used/campy/cliche ideas.
...porn/penetration/girl-on-girl/etc
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Its not about the money, its about the photos. I'm picky about who I will shoot what with who. And not starving is nice sometimes. I model because I am driven and passionate about art. If you're serious about your art and creativity, contact me!
