I love art of any form- theatre, dance, painting, sketching, photography... and I love modelling. It is just part-time for me at the moment and runs alongside my business as a dance teacher and performer. I am interested in various assignments/shoots/projects, and particularly enjoy working well with the photographer and/or director to create truly original and effective looks. I am happy to both provide my own outfits, and wear ones provided. Likewise I work well with direction and am also efficient and confident with free-styling on shoot/runway. I have a particular interest in artistic and unusual shots- I love creating something truly unique from a photo shoot (feel free to break out your tigers, swords, Medieval castles, deep-sea ship wrecks etc for me to pose with!!)

I prefer shoots to be a collaboration between photographer and model, and like to work together with the photographer to create our images. Having said that, if the photographer has a specific image in mind I will happily and efficiently take direction.

I have some unusual skills, being a professional belly dancer with 8 years experience, and two years experience in Latin dance (salsa, bachata, merengue, cha cha, reggeton). Being a professional dancer has helped me work well in my modeling as I am confident and comfortable in front of the camera and am able to bring original and varied shapes, poses and looks to a photo-shoot.

I also have experience with body art and love Henna tattoos and body painting- and can apply both of these myself. I also know my way around a guitar and middle-eastern drums (and own both) if you fancy something different from a musical shoot! I also love animals and have no fears (bring on the tarantulas!) so would really enjoy shoots with animals.

I have no tattoos, have had no surgical enhancement, and have three ear piercings (left lobe, right lobe, right cartilage rim). I am happy to colour and style my hair, though will not cut it.

I hate to voice a negative point but please do NOT message me regarding implied topless, topless, implied nude, nude, or adult. I will not do any shoots involving this and this is not a negotiable point with me. Contacting me regarding this will be a waste your time.


Pay/TFCD:
I am happy to do both paid and TFP/TFCD and would like a release to be signed or written agreement confirming the agreed use of the images. I am able to travel all over the UK for the right project, but if the shoot is a great distance from where I am based then cover for my travel expenses would be appreciated.

Availability:
I am currently very flexible. I have occasional commitments on weekday evenings but otherwise can work weekdays and weekends.

Chaperones:
I hope that photographers appreciate the concern that many models have regarding their safety, and I personally prefer to bring a chaperone with me if I have not previously met the photographer. I will inform you before the shoot as to whether or not I will be bringing a chaperone, and wherever possible my chaperone will only escort me to the shoot and not stay for the duration. This is to prevent interruption to the shoot.

Cancellations:
I require a minimum of 24 hours notice of a cancellation, although I will of course appreciate personal emergencies etc.

Contact:
I am afraid I will not do a photoshoot without a contact number for the photographer. This is simply so that should either of us cancel or be unable to find the location etc there is as little inconvenience as possible. Where possible I also like to speak over the phone or meet in person with the photographer before the photoshoot. This is simply to ensure that we are as productive as possible on the shoot (having then already discussed our plans for the shoot), and it will also eliminate the necessity for me to bring a chaperone.

If you would like any further information, please contact me and I would be more than happy to provide you with more details :)
