Seize the moment, hire me and I will be focussed on getting the perfect shot with you! :-)
I AM...
- Represented by commercial agencies, experienced in artistic nude work, happy and effective in a range of styles
- Dance trained (see section below)
- 5'7, UK size 10 with a unique and natural (but versatile) look: wild hair (naturally curly), 'English Rose' skin (pale and blemish-free) & blue-green eyes.
- Toned, flexible and slim with feminine curves.
- Confident enough to deliver as well as thriving on new experiments
- Absolutely reliable
WHAT I DO....
I like to help create the best images I possibly can. I welcome new ideas and concepts whole-heartedly.
I am primarily an 'art model', but enjoy versatility and take on work across the spectrum: dance/movement, lingerie, fitness, commercial, lifestyle, wedding, fashion, beauty and portraits. I am available for work with photographers, painters and artists of various media, whether amateur hobbiests or experienced industry professionals, for exhibitions, commercial publication or just portfolio building.
TRAVEL AND AVAILABILITY
If you'd like to work with me in your area/city/continent, you need to send me a message here (not just comment/tag) or email me directly at
ellarosemuse@live.co.uk (preferred, but please do include your link!) to express your interest. I can then send you an email when travelling to your area. (Alternatively, I urge you to just go ahead and book me; I can then organise further assignments in your area, if you prefer to share out my travel costs.) I am grateful for travel opportunities and have a slight addiction to whizzing around the world. ...Thanks!
I frequently travel nationally and internationally. Wherever you are, I can probably get there and might be going there anyway!
DANCE (A life-long passion; I have trained in many of the following since the age of 3)
- Oriental/Middle Eastern (Arabian, Turkish, Egyptian, Tribal & Fusion)
(See an unplanned solo
here and an informal video
here. I come on stage after the sword lady; solo at the end!)
- Hip-Hop, Street, Jazz, Tap and Character - exams taken to a high/professional standard. Many university performances
- Ballet & Contemporary - exams taken to high standard. I can pose en pointe.
- Salsa (performed for demonstrations regularly whilst at university)
- Flamenco, Bollywood, Gypsy Dance, Tango - some experience
- Garifuna/Punta (aka 'bootyshake') - taught by locals in Caribbean Central America! ;-)
MAKE UP AND WARDROBE
I am able to do my make up to a high standard (most of what you'll see is done by me); if you want bold/daring/striking looks, I can recommend or help find a make up artist.
My wardrobe is vast and eclectic. I can provide lots of things in different styles, including ballet tutus, skirts and pointe shoes, wedding dresses (Victorian and modern) and bridal corsets, gypsy/bohemian fashion, evening dresses and ball gowns, beautiful lingerie (lace, silk, sheer, flowing, vintage, diaphanous, bright and modern...), romantic pre-Raphaelite clothing, fashion/casual/sports wear, plus jewellery, accessories, props, isis wings, silk dance veils, world costumery and lots more to add texture and interest to imagery. I have a habit of bringing too much, so you will be spoiled for choice.
COMPENSATION
Modelling is my full time job so I expect to be paid reasonably for my time and skills.
...It's extremely unlikely that I will trade for images only and 99% of the time I'll turn it down with thanks, but if you genuinely think you can take my portfolio to new heights by offering something unusual, innovative and different from what I already have (I am unreasonably choosy about this and prefer a team for creatively styled or commercial prints perfect for my agency book), I'd love to hear from you.
OTHER INFO
- I don't accept/include images for my portfolio in which my body shape has been 'liquefied'/altered. (Yes, I might look incredible nipped/tucked/inflated... But I'd rather be credible.)
- I am proud to frequently receive repeat bookings from artists/photographers. Click here for a few testimonials.
- You can read an interview in PHmag here.
- I modelled exclusively for an internationally-renowned painter for a year; I'm good at keeping still!
- I've lowered my age on here to account for the fact that everyone tells me I look much younger than 26, my real age (I'm telling you because I'm honest!). I am lucky to have excellent skin without retouching (plus a healthy lifestyle).
- I'm a full time model and writer (a general resume is on my website).
Have a nice day, and I hope to hear from you!
