Blue Velvet

Thanks for checking out my profile!

I am an experienced art and photographic model looking for paid work. I am also a practising visual artist, so I have a natural understanding for aesthetic and also of the needs an artist/photographer has for their model. I am more than willing to be experimental with my modeling and you can count on me adding a bit of my own artistic influence.

I enjoy modeling and using my body as an object for art. My preference is to collaborate with people where I can have a bit of fun and it isn't too serious. I also like to experiment and mix a bit of acting into my modelling when I get the chance.

If you have a proposition for work with me don't be shy to let me know - I am always happy to try new things and expand on my repertoire with photographers that have both admirable work and a good attitude.

If you need any inspiration for a shoot just ask me and I am happy to offer any suggestions. I am more than happy to bring along some of my own selections of clothing, lingerie, swimwear and small props for shoots if asked.

I am not at this point considering TFP*, however if I really like your work and believe that it would be an asset to my portfolio, I will keep you in mind for future reference.

Don't hesitate to contact me if I am outside of your area, I travel frequently and am happy to travel to most places for work as long as reasonable expenses are paid.

If you send me a friend request, at least tag me or comment on a photo. I will not add just anyone. If you have nothing to say...then why would you want to be my friend?

****AS I HAVE BEEN VERY BUSY OF LATE I HAVEN'T HAD THE TIME OR ENERGY TO RETURN COMMENTS AND REPLY TO MESSAGES IMMEDIATELY, I APPRECIATE ALL COMMENTS AND WILL DO MY BEST TO SHOW MY APPRECIATION. THANK-YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING****

*TRADE vs PAID WORK: I am open to select TFCD/TFP on a limited basis with highly accomplished, exceptionally skilled photographers whose work will benefit the portfolios of both parties, not just the photographer. In order for me to consider a trade collaboration with you, either your portfolio must contain an established body of work which is clearly of equal or better technical quality than that currently found in my own port AND which displays both artistic merit and a unique vision, OR you must be a published photographer with a specific project that will lead to significant exposure (i.e. publication in a noteworthy magazine, calendar, book, etc.). If at least one of these criteria are not met, I will not consider trade work. Please contact me for my rates.

"Blue Velvet is a versatile and creative model. I have shot mostly artistic nude with her, but she is more than an art nude model. The best image we have created together was a joint effort based on one of her ideas. She can contribute to planning, shooting, and even editing afterwards - definitely an all-rounder."
