"21-Year-Old local dancer/performer and model, Caitlin Blair, was born and raised in Cleveland, OH. Growing up and developing several talents and a love for the limelight, she has participated in many city-wide dance competitions throughout her teen years, has wowed crowds impersonating 'Lady Gaga' at Cleveland's local dance clubs, has been a well-known face in Cleveland's Scene Magazine and has worked magic with many photographers, as well as choreographers, across the state. She has also participated in local charity events with OldSchool Sinema in her spare time. Although she is just beginning, she has a passion and fervor for entertaining and has a sparkle about her. She is a diamond in the rough, waiting to be discovered." -Jack Verbois, Jack Verbois Photography

Greetings, MM! I'm Caitlin Blair Cogar. I began modeling for creative shoots in 2007 to gain experience and kickstart my portfolio. I have worked with a handful of great photographers. I have also done many photo shoots for my own constantly growing freelance photography and photo-retouching business, Dark Alchemy Studios, of which I run in my spare time (MM account and website currently in development).

I love being in front of the camera, as well as behind. I'm not just a model, but an artist, too. Not only do I enjoy modeling, but I also like to have creative input and the ability to put my personal style into my shoots, when granted to the opportunity. Even though I have much more to learn and experience in this industry, I work hard and put my all into what I do, in order to grow as a model and as an artist. I strive to live and work by, what I call, The Five P's: punctuality, patience, preparation, professionalism, and PASSION. I'm also fun to work with, especially if our talents mesh well. I enjoy working as well as having a good time doing it!

Note: I like to work in a highly professional setting, with photographers who are ready and willing to have a great shoot, so I hope your attitude reflects it! I understand that we all have bad days, but I think it is unprofessional to work with a negative attitude. Also, please, if we are not yet friends, do not gossip to me about previous business-endeavors-gone-wrong. It makes me uncomfortable and I think it's unnecessary. If it doesn't pertain to our shoot or us getting to know each other, leave your negativity and gossip at the door.

I'm available for fashion, editorial, and commercial shoots. I'm also available for hair and beauty shoots, advertisements, and especially highly creative and artistic shoots! I'm always quick to model a great concept! I have yet to model for any specific fashion designers, so that is what I am looking for in particular right now, at this stage in my modeling career. I am NOT available for nude shoots. Aside from that, I am looking to step outside of the box and push creative boundaries. Let's achieve it together!

I dance, act, and sing as well. References upon request.

Want to work with me? Just send me a message!

I'm ready to be booked ASAP!

Much Luck & Love in 2010!

XOXO,
Caitlin Blair.
