About me
ABOUT MISS TAYVA:
Getting back in the game after a LONG hiatus...
Before taking a break, I was popular in the pinup/kustom kulture aspect of modelling, and had started to get involved in the fetish fashion aspect of modelling. Some of you may recognise me from my former pinup work.
Well, I'm kind of bored with all of that. Not opposed to... I'm just tired of the pastel seamless backdrops and cutsey expressions (actually, I've always hated those). Besides, who ISN'T doing pinup modelling these days? ;-)
I indeed love the retro style, as I consider myself a big time retrophile (in fact, I'm a huge collector of Mid-Century vintage clothing and accessories). I just don't want to shoot the cookie cutter stuff.
* * * * * *
WHAT MISS TAYVA IS INTERESTED IN:
I am interested in shooting nylons/stockings, shoe/boot and foot fetish/worship, girdles, corsetry, smoking, bondage, latex, sploshing (oh yes!!) and things of that nature.
I have a huge soft spot for muscle cars (!), hot rods, classic collector cars, and motorcycles. I will most definitely shoot with all of the above. Mopar-themed shoots a big plus! ;-)
Guns, knives and other sinister-looking weapons also a plus.
I like shooting on location, rather than in a studio. However, I am not completely opposed to the latter. I like versatility and creativity!
* * * * * *
EVEN MORE ABOUT MISS TAYVA! :
As you can see in my photos, I am heavily tattooed, mostly on my arms. There are more on the way! No, you can't slather me in that funny makeup that hides tattoos. Don't be Photoshop-ing them out, either. Take me as I am! However, I am willing to cover up with clothing that is appropriate for a certain shoot.
NOTE: I have recently added on a rather large chest piece tattoo.
* * * * * *
SHOOTING WITH MISS TAYVA:
Indeed, I checked the "Yes! I shoot nudes" option below... but that doesn't mean, "Yes! I will whip my clothes off for anyone!" That means you, oh GWC Model Mayhem lurker people. I haven't forgotten about you...
The 'nude' option in my terms means no blatant ladyjunk shots. I promise you, I have decent teeth. If you would like to examine my dental work, fine. But we will do this using the proper orifice ;-)
I always bring a chaperone to my shoots. If you have a problem with this, then I'm writing you off as a tosser, and I won't work with you.
* * * * * *
HOW MUCH MISS TAYVA COSTS:
$75/hr, but you don't get to see my boobs.
$125/hr if I do whip 'em out.
Remember! Topless and nothing more.
Oh, and this is negotiable. The fee, that is...
I always sign a release/contract. No release, no go!
I prefer paid work (which will be agreed upon in advance, in writing). TFP/TFCD/Whatever they're calling it these days is a RARE option for me-- unless you are brilliantly amazing.
Certain print jobs are an exception, by the way.
* * * * * *
WHO/WHAT I LIKE/DON'T LIKE aka MY EXPECTATIONS:
This site is notorious for goofballs who know nothing about retro stuff, nor fetish stuff. Nor their way around a camera! If you shoot import crap, stereotypical glamour models, cheesy landscapes, have both cute children AND nude women in your portfolio, or your work looks like that of Denny Scott (Google him to see what I mean), move along. If you contact me an your work fits into these categories and I'm in the right mood, I will bollock you about it.
If I am to work with you, I ask that we do things in a timely manner. Ample communication is key!
There's nothing that irks me more than sitting around, waiting and wondering. I have no tolerance for incompetence or unprofessionalism. I am a very busy person, and don't have time to muck about picking my nose while waiting for information, responses, etc. I don't work on a last-minute basis. Please expect me to be the same way!
Again, all collaborations will be agreed upon in writing, prior to working together.
I also require that the images from the session may not be licensed or resold to a third party, without my written consent.
All rights to the images from session are limited to non-commercial usage, unless agreed upon. Again, these are things that I require to be in writing.
Regarding print jobs, I always require a copy of the tear sheet/publication.
I've always been very picky with whom I have worked with, and will continue to be. Quality, not quantity! Who wants dodgy photos of themselves floating around out there?!
Clothing companies - I am willing to work for trade. However, I will not sign an exclusive contract. Same goes for any print work.
I am indeed able to do my own hair and makeup. However, I do prefer a makeup artist to be on hand, as my hair can be unruly at times and it's sometimes hard to juggle standing there in some contorted pose and keeping stray hairs in line.
I do visit ol' Blighty from time to time. If you are a UK photographer and would like to work with me, PM me and I'll let you know when I'll be out there.
Phoenix and Los Angeles are other options, as well. Elsewhere, not really. Message me and we'll see.
Travel compensation: Yes, please!
PS-- DECENT SENSE OF HUMOUR REQUIRED TO WORK WITH ME.
