I joined this site because I was a part of OMP for years and found it to be a good resource. My goal in a shoot is to see what the photography can pull out of the model; the emotion, the personality, etc. I like to model because I like to see myself through the lens of the photographer, so to speak. I just find lighting use, make-up, effects, curves of the body, etc. to tell a very interesting story when the photographer is in line with the model.

1. I have been modeling for about five years casually for fun. I like to enjoy a shoot and make beautiful photos, so that is usually my goal.
2. I am very direction oriented for a purpose. It's not that I don't know how to pose, I would just rather be told something slightly different to do than just pose like the norm. Don't be afraid to tell me something silly to do, or to move slightly; I prefer direction, but love spontaneity too. Once I have made the initial connection with the photographer, by their attempts at controlling the photo more in the beginning and my watching that, I can play with and really have fun with the shots as the shoot progresses and pull out interesting positions and help capture those "that's the one" shots. A good model can analyze the photographer just as well, if not better, than they can analyze them ;).
3. I can be sexy, but I am a very bubbly and energetic person most of the time, and can therefore much more easily bring the perfect smile than the perfect "pout". I am also quite good at getting myself into a more introspective facial pose. It's easy for me to imagine something completely different behind the lens than the photographer shooting me.
4. Finally, the crucial things that a foundation to a good shoot. I am very punctual and responsive, I find it rude when models are not this way.I respond best to text messages and my gmail account but will respond to this site within the week. I am open to any new ideas that could be meaningful, fun, or artistic and do NOT include nudity. I have my bachelors degree and am very creative, so don't expect a box of rocks here ;).
