“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
- Nelson Mandela in his 1994 inaugural speech
CAREER
My name is Sonya Gobin. I am a professional full-time model with agency representation. I currently reside in Toronto but can travel internationally on assignments. I’m here to earn my living by providing the best modeling services found anywhere. My image is my “Brand” and I must be paid for its use. My rates are customizable for your projects and provide you with exceptional value. My primary interest is in high fashion, catalogue, editorial, and fitness. My body is ideally suited to those themes and makes any designers' products look fantastic. Since I am mainly interested in modeling clothes, as well as, jewellery, assesories, and make-up, there is no consideration of nudity, and in most cases, no consideration of implied either.
ME
I am mature and clever beyond my age, which results in you getting a model that is reliable, professional, and flexible. As viewed by my peers, I am also charismatic, energetic, and creative. This results in every assignment being a great success because I’m willing to put in extra time and effort for you. I’ve got great skin tone and can accommodate many changes in appearance with little make-up. I take direction well. Physically, I’m very strong and can work long hard sessions without tiring. I’m already married, so I primarily focus on work.
YOU
Occasionally I will consider TF if there are real benefits to my portfolio and career. Any professional photographers, models, make-up artists, body paint artists, hair stylists, clothing designers, graphic designers, etc. that are interested in advancing my vocation can send a private message here. If you want to work with me you must be operating a real business. No more “Guys With Cameras”, no more amateurs of any sort.
I may bring an escort. They will not be a distraction. If an escort is an issue, I would love to be entertained by why. If I feel that you provide me with a suitable answer, then references MUST be provided.
It is necessary to supply the following information, otherwise if it is incomplete I can not consider your TF plan.
- full name, address(does not have to be exact, but as long as it gives me an idea of where you're coming from), and phone numbers of everyone participating
- GST & PST numbers
- make and model of camera
- clothing and make-up supplies
- date, location and duration
- detailed concept (what do your expect me to do? what expressions and poses are you looking for?)
- compensation (how will your pay tribute to my image)
- what is the intended use of the photos? (how will it further my career?)
- references (more than what is on ModelMayhem is prefered)
- names and examples of work by anyone else collaborating in the shoot
- any other information you believe will bring success to your shoot
I will have my management team review your proposal and if it is good, it will receive consideration.
The following is a list of requirements that must be agreed to before the shoot and you will need to prove you can deliver.
- make-up artist & hair and clothing stylist required
- full set of RAW and JPG files supplied at the conclusion of the shoot
- images without water and copy write marks
- rights to retouch and make corrections to the images
- at least one properly retouched photograph suitable for a model’s portfolio from each clothing change
- rights to use the images for non-sale self-promotion
- approval for any publication
- a copy of all photographs used for submissions
- the images used by the photographer must be totally in his/her control and can not be optioned to a third party
- a tear sheet must be supplied for every publication
- full model credit anytime the photographs are published in print, electronic or any other media
- the photographs must remain intact for its original intended purpose
Thank you and I hope to hear from you soon!
