CherryValance

Thank you for visiting my profile ^_^
I am currently a Bachelor of Fine Arts student with a modest amount of experience both behind and in front of the camera. I am a flexible, natural redhead with a curvy body type and I am drawn to artistic and alternative photography. I hope to use this site to network with other artists and models and to further my experience in both of these fields. Most importantly I want to be a part of creating unique pieces of art.
I am signed with Coco Model Management Agency but am still Available for Paid shoots and select TFP/TFCD projects
*I do NOT do nudes or implied nudes* I prefer NOT to be touched but rather instructed on altering poses. This is a personal issue of comfort and mutual respect between model and photographer. Also, I believe a model should be an active participant in the shooting process, and so my work is quite often a collaboration and/or my own concept. I do not sign model releases without financial compensation. I have thus far done almost all of my own MUA but I am open to working with stylists. 
I may reduce my friends to only those I work or would like to work with. I apologize for late returns on comments/tags/msg/fr as I do not always receive e-mail notification. Don't feel obligated to return comments/tags and feel free to check out my DA link above for more photos.

I model for fun, for art, and to finance my education, not for attention. This is not a dating site and I am not single.
