About Me

I’m a retired businessman and I have been doing photography for about 30 years. About 10 years ago I helped a young woman put together her portfolio. We took 100's of shots and picked the best 10 in each of several catagories. Today she's modeling full time. She's based in Texas. No, she's not a super model but she's doing well. Two other girls that I've helped are currently working in Europe (one is based in Milan and the other in Florence).

I help aspiring models prepare their portfolios and I also conduct two 10 week coaching sessions per year - each class takes about two hours. Because I do all types of fashion photography these sessions cover the basics in Runway, acting, and dance. To succeed as a model today girls find themselves competing with dancers and actors, so we try to shorten the gap.

Models are expected to supply their own outfits and to do their own makeup.

I believe in having fun at the shoot and I expect models to take directions and to be an active participant in the project. I love to work with creative and active people.

Although I prefer to shoot using natural light, my photographic style is dictated by the model and her experience. I only work with women 18 years of age or older unless they are accompanied by a Parent.

Modeling agencies need models of all body types and looks so don't be put off by claims that you can never be a photo or fashion model. Where would we be today if Kate Moss and Tyra Banks had listened to these people.

Hey, did you get my message?
I’m a full time international model with 10+ years experience coming to your area October 2nd - 5th or 6th before heading to Dallas. I’d love to know if you would like to work with me while I am here or if you know anyone who might. This may be the only chance to shoot me in your area. Do you have recommendations on how else to get more work or who to reach out to?
I have more details in my profile but here is a bit ABOUT me; As a full time model, I am highly committed, passionate, reliable, open to working with artists of any level of experience & am very experienced in a wide variety of expressive poses. I’ve worked throughout AUS, NZ, UK, EU, Hawaii, India, Singapore, Malaysia & Philippines with plans to travel through other parts of the world. My many years of experience in the industry with a range of creatives from around the world have earned me features in multiple magazines, art galleries & exhibitions in a variety of countries. I’m open to modelling with other male or female models (locals or traveling) in the studio as well as on location in various conditions & throughout a broad range of styles from portraits, fashion, pinup, editorial, beauty, lifestyle, swimwear, lingerie, sheer, topless, boudoir, implied, through to art nude. I can do glamour as well as suggestive & slight fetish/erotica but I don’t do open leg or porn. My extra talents; I’m a musician, I know how to free dive which is good for underwater shots, can horse ride, go on long hikes & also can crack a stock whip, I practice yoga, & have done basic pole & aerial hoop/silks.
INSTA; @layal.official (non nudes) @aim.model (nude) @aim.backup.model1 (back up nude)
My RATES; for up to art nude $150 per hour for 2hrs or more or $550 for 4hrs or $1000 a day. This covers costs including my meals/drinks, public transportation, outfits I can bring, my own make up & other things to help me be the best I can for you. Surcharges; for 1hr only, light fetish & extra shooters. I do understand people have budgets so I can offer pay off methods where you pay the rate over an agreed time. If Instagram or WhatsApp or even email is better than discussing here, please send me your contact details.
Thank you in advance for respecting me. Hope to hear from you soon, keen to see what we can do together, all the best & kindest regards.
