*Holidays are descending* - time to shoot will increase dramatically..much like water in a Shamwow! :p
"If I had the liberty to fold her up, store her in my camera bag and drag her out any spare second I could shoot, with Demolita I would not hesitate. But that would be cruel - and I'm only cruel to mediocre models." - Neil of SilverWeB Photography
Greetings mayhemers! I'm Demolita, but YOU can call me Demmy, you special thing.
I've been modelling inconsistently for local photographers since early 2006, and performing as a musician for over 13 years.
My speciality is portraiture, and I'm happy to do it if your heart is set on it, but I'm also looking to branch out and do some more full-body shots.
I am mostly interested in (but not limited to):
- Goth/Macabre
- Alternative/Dark
- Horror/Gore
- Lolita/doll
- Period/Theatrical
- High fashion/Glamour
- Bizarre/Fantasy/Surreal
- Conceptual
- Vintage
- Classic/Hollywood
- Promotional (not interested in promotional work in a blank white studio though -I would rather have props and an interesting location to work with. It's better to create a photo that fabricates a story AND sells your product, than one that just places your product against a white background.)
I do not currently do nudes/fetish/erotica.
If you have any ideas for imaginative photoshoots, do share. I crave originality in photography and art.
Modelling is not a vanity project for me - I don't think I'm beautiful in the slightest. I model to have some kind of control over the aesthetic, to evoke something in those who see the produced photographs.
Although photoshoots are fun, I no longer shoot just because you've got a new flash or we both have the weekend free. I'm interested in a solid, original concept that both photographer and model (or anyone else involved in the shoot) can be proud of. But this doesn't mean that you have to think it all out yourself and present it to me! If you're lost for a photoshoot, contact me and we can brainstorm. I adore coming up with new styles and locations for shoots.
I'm professional and passionate about photoshoots. I am always punctual and polite, and am currently doing TFP/CD shoots because I want to expand and strengthen my portfolio - if you think you're the photographer/MUA/wardrobe stylist/clothing designer to help with this then please drop me a line!
I am very capable doing my own hair and makeup, however I think some of the best photographs are created through a team effort. That said, I can easily work with other models, MUAs, stylists and designers. I would love to work for local clothing or accessory designers because I support Melbourne alternative fashion.
I am comfortable both in and out of the studio, with or without props. I have an extensive wardrobe and am willing to buy or make clothing and accessories for photoshoots, depending on the expense and time required. Whatever it takes to achieve the look desired!
I am very comfortable working with animals, and I don't just mean the fluffy bunnies with cute floppy ears. If you have a pet tarantula and you want some creepy alternative shots, bring it along to the shoot. The more bizarre the creature, the better *pats pet yabby*
