Limited TF for Beauty, Pinup, Fashion, and Latex

my current book/photography)

I am not looking to do any more nude work.
I am a professional photographer first, and I am
not sure parents want to see anymore of me nekkid. =P
I am available to model/ teach photographers interested in
possibly learning some of my lighting techniques. Please look at my
photography portfolio on my top friends

Will work for Corsets/latex/Gowns/ Some Other types of wardrobe =P
*Will Travel if Expenses are paid.
I am located 2-3 hours away from NY, So I rarely TF in NY.
______________________________________________________
Photographer, Actress, MUA, and Model Serena Star was born on September 13, 1988 in a little town she has come to call Wonderland. Spending most of her youth shut up behind closed doors, she managed to evade the closed minds of the social order and learned to deal with every obstacle that she faced. Being blessed with open-minded parents, she was encouraged to find her own path in life and disregard other negative influences that tried to mold her into society's cookie-cutter image. Enlightened to the prejudice and discrimination that was illustrated everyday, she grew aware of the intolerance she would face and prepared herself emotionally for the persecution she would later ensue. "Wonderland" became to her as Wonderland was to Alice, a nice place to visit - but not to stay. It was a place, which enabled her creative and artistic mind to blossom without profuse excruciation, but she couldn't prosper either. Alleviated by the tolerance of the underground culture, she opened herself up to many styles from there to the mainstream. At the age of 14/15 she took her first serious interest in photography. She studied everything through the lens of her camera and became passionate about the beauty it brought out in a world she had grown to think was so dull and forlorn. Even Alice at one point had stated, "What is the use of a book... without pictures or Conversations?" The exquisiteness of how the world seemed to change within a photo captivated her and she loved it. Now at the ripe age of a youthful adult, she has grown to have a very sweet and sensual yet hot-tempered personality. She enjoys working with others and seizes any opportunity to take her place in the spotlight. Noted for her child-like cheerfulness and Professional attitude, she is very mature when it comes down to her work. In the years to come she hopes to meet more open-minded and creative souls who can overcome the age barrier that currently keeps her from flourishing in her fields of interest. She awaits the day she will be able to express herself without torment and tribulations, and hopes to one day become a known figure in the industry. Serena is one fiery redhead, ready to take on the challenges that are dealt to her as she pursues unveiling her unique individuality.
