Since most of the pictures in my portfolio, I've changed quite a lot.

I'm looking to re-do it, to not only a higher standard, but from a totally different angle.

After the experiences in modelling that I've had so far, I've become more fearless with my pictures and shoots, as confidence is the key to fantastic images.

Models who stand there not knowing what to do, and who are unconfident about themselves are only going to end up producing bad images as it all shows in the pictures.

I am very serious about the work I do, and I always keep my appointments and shoot dates. I feel it's always best to discuss requirements and objectives with the photographer beforehand to get a good idea on the images you're looking to create. Even if it's just a phone call, it's better knowing and being more organised and prepared.

Talking about preparation, I feel it's very important to have myself on top form before a shoot now.
I never organise a shoot for a few days in advance as I like to make sure my complexion is as perfect as it can be and that I am totally ready for the shoot, no matter the requirements.

So many models organise shoots and don't bother with this, assuming the photographer will just photoshop it all out, when it's actually part of the model's job to be prepared and ready.

I don't like stupid amounts of photoshopping on my images, unless it's to enhance creativity, as it can give false impressions to other photographers about what you actually look like and what you suit.

I know some models who have a portfolio full of pictures that don't even look like them, and wonder why photographers get annoyed when they turn up to shoots looking like a totally different person.

Although I am very professional about my shoots, I am also light hearted and fun... I like creating a good atmosphere to work in and be relaxed! It's so uncomfertable working for hours in a bad atmosphere as I'm sure many people would agree!

At the moment I have some free TFP dates in September..
11th/13th/16th
So if anyone is interested in shooting on one of those dates, give me a shout and we'll work something out!
