Signed (non-exclusive) with a "top 10" agency.

I do fashion, cataloge, runway, commercial print, stock photos, trade shows, parts modeling (hands and legs)...  Tearsheet projects are welcomed.  Testing and TFCD on selective basis.

I am very much clean-cut: trained in classical music (violin and piano) and college-educated.  In addition to modeling, I do kendo (samurai sword fighting) on a regular basis.  I also do some acting.  Absolutely no nude/imply nude/semi-transparent photos of any kind.  Lingerie and swimsuit MAYBE ok, depending on what kind of job it is.

Please take notice: although this should be a common knowledge, some people abuse the terms (Don't ask me for a testing or TFCD and then tell me to pay you to get the pictures) --

Testing means we shoot, I get to use the pictures for my profolio only, ahd you get to use the pictures for your profolio only.  No money changes hands and no release signed (you don't get to transfer the pictures to a third party for a profit). 

On the other hand, TFCD means we shoot, I get to use the pictures for my profolio only, but I will sign a release and you will be able to use the pictures for commercial purposes.  And still, no money changes hands (I don't pay you, and you don't pay me).

Sylist Note: I don't have any piercing, not even ear piercing.  So, only clip earings work for me.

Note: I have a scar on my upper left arm, which can be easily retouched off if it shows in pictures.  Also, I have under-eye dark circles from overwork and lack of sleep -- Sometimes they are lighter, sometimes they are heavier, depending on my schedule during the relevent time period.  These dark circles sometimes can be visible in pictures, but can be easily retouched off.  I don't have pimples.  I don't have tatoo.

Love to work with photographers/makeup artists/wardrobe stylists/designers who want to create amazing images or just for magazine submissions.

Hate to shoot with photographers who just look to "hang out" with female models but don't care about getting good images (i.e. GWC -- Read: No fake casting calls nor token testing/TFCD as an excuse to ask me out.  A model's life is not easy.  If you are not here to help, at least don't try to make it even more difficult.)
