Welcome!
I am Sarah, I have been working in photography for over seven years. I'm eager to work with aspiring models in the Buffalo/Upstate NY area to build portfolios.
If you are looking to work with me, please send me a message with your request, I do check in at Model Mayhem quite often.
*Current Project*
I am helping a long time friend with a project to raise awareness and have fundraisers for cancer research. Once her website is complete, I will be asking local models if they would like to participate. We will be organizing creative photoshoots aimed and inspiring through beautiful imagery and giving back to people who donate money by providing them images based on the amount that they contribute.
All of our time is donated. Nudity is not required. Please message me if you are interested. We would especially love to work with models who are willing to share their personal experiences with this very terrible disease. Thank you.
*Shoot wishlist*
+ Seven Deadly Sins. Seven models required, long hours, acting ability necessary, tell your friends. (food included)
+ Bright berry - Vibrant colors, makeup, and possibly paint. High energy mixed with elegant beauty portraits.
+ Smoke and bubbles - Must be okay with smoke, inhaling not required.
What I Am Looking For *Models*
I am always searching for models who are passionate about what they do. Acting is such a deep part of modeling, so you may say that I am looking for models who either have experience with acting or are in no way inhibited about expressing themselves or pretending to be someone(thing) else.
Please leave any conventional "pretty" at the door.
If you think I may only be looking to shoot sleazy nudes and are afraid I will pressure you to get naked, please go away.
*If your profile stats say No to shooting nudes, I am not going to ask you if you shoot nudes.*
Please also keep in mind that nudity required shoots will be posted via Casting Call.
What I Am Looking For *Stylists (MUA/Hair)*
To date I have done all of the makeup for every one of my photoshoots. I will not say that I am an expert, but I am currently able to accomplish the looks I am going for.
I am always open to discussing projects with stylists. Currently I am more in the market for hair stylists and MUAs who consistently create looks that are outside of the box. Anything that is fit for a wedding day look or a glamour shot is not something I am interested in.
What I Am Looking For *Photoshop Wizards*
I'm often blown away by the artistic abilities of some Photoshop Wizards. Depending on my current projects, I may be in the market for professional (realistic) skin retouching or fantasy related manipulations. Please feel free to send me a message with your current rates for image retouching.
What I Am Available For
+ Portraits
+ Catalogue Fashion photography
+ Private Commissioned work
+ Promotional Business photography
+ Limited Trade Shoots
+ Engagement Photography
+ Pets & Animals Photography
+ Sports and other events
+ Website and graphics creation
Friend Requests
If you are in Buffalo New York or in the surrounding area, please by all means send me a friend request. All those outside of New York, please understand that you will not be added to my friends list (Photoshop Wizards and artists I greatly admire are exempt from this). Rest assured that if I am planning to travel for photo sessions, I will make note of it on Model Mayhem and post a casting call.
-Policy on No Shows-
Regardless of the method of compensation we agree on and the amount of experience models interested in working with me have under their belt, I expect a high level of professionalism.
When models book work with me and we set a date, I do expect them to show. Any cancellations must be made at least two hours in advance. I understand that things come up unexpectedly, but my time
is valuable.
Early notification is most appreciated and makes it easier for us to work out something different that fits into both of our schedules.
Thank you for stopping by and I look forward to working with you!
