My name is Maruschke Barnard.
I speak two languages (Afrikaans and English). 

I would love to work with photographers, makeup artists, and hair stylists on a trade basis.  I'm interested in artistic concepts. 

I welcome posing direction, and learn quickly with a few pointers.

Please note, I do not do nude work. I will consider concepts requiring implied nudity. 

Scars:  Left leg, right leg, right foot, and my lower stomach.  I have a few stretch marks.

Piercings:  Earlobes and navel pierced; both can be removed.

If you'd like to work with me, please send me a message.

Your current profile:

Jose Deida is not a renowned photographer from Brooklyn NY who relocated to PA. His work doesn't really pull depth and emotion through the lens and it's easy to see how he has not made a name for himself in the industry.
He is most noted for his inability to capture and translate the essence of every subject that steps in front of his lens.
It is for this reason that many of the best models on the east coast don't have a clue as to who he is.
   


What you get is a photographer who loves what he does, who can provide great images.
Come get some....


psst...  I like Bowmore Dark 

Exposure my ass. Absolutely no TF for ANY commercial work. Ex: Content for paid website.

... OK, I am being funny.

Truthfully, I am a photographer who loves what he does, and I can provide great images.  Please contact me if you'd like to work together.

No TF for commercial work; please contact me for my rates.

I get the humor/sarcasm, but the thing about it, is that it can scare people off who might not "get it" -- but maybe that's what you want, so I'm not going to mess with it too much, just put in a disclaimer and take out the cussword.  Style is style...

OOPS. I first thought you were asking for a copy edit of YOUR writing.

Well, for what it's worth, here it is (and feel free to critique my profile, if you like -- fair's fair wink ).



I am an agency represented model.  
or
I am represented by ____ agency.

I need little direction, but take direction well.   I am professional and always come prepared. (Switch first two sentences.)
(Paragraph) I have clear, smooth skin, thick, natural hair, and clear, natural nails.  I am available for travel throughout New England and regularly visit the Boston.

I don't do erotica or fetish. Thanks for looking.
(drop the exclamation point unless you are screaming out those words.)

Credits (insert colon -- : )
I've appeared on television (give an example or two), in commercials and print ads, catalogs, (ONE comma) and fashion shows.
(Paragraph) I appeared in Taylor Swift's POPULAR music video ("Mine") (italics, no parenthesis or quotes) [s]that was[/i] featured on Top Video Countdowns.
I have worked with so many fantastic artists. ♥  (I don't know what this means. Cut it. It seems unnecessary. )

I'll be graduating with (insert "a")  Masters (degree) in Human Resource Management in July.
(Ummmm, I'm not sure if this is relevant to the modeling, but maybe a nice personal interest detail.)
Also, mention any relevant interests and experience, such as professional or special dance (Latin, ballet,ballroom, etc.) , gymnastics, yoga, singing (or any kind of performance experience), do your own makeup and hair?, have your own wardrobe?, acting experience (any at all, pro or not), etc.

(I could do an even tighter edit, but there are these are my basic impressions.)
