LOCATION
Based in Preston, UK., but travel regularly. Often change my location while travelling to find local shoots.

There is a section at the end covering travel locations and dates.

Apologies this is now a longer profile. I prefer to have a space to answer frequently asked questions. I'm also very thorough.

Added titles so you can skip to the parts that are relevant to you.


ME
- Love the arts.
- Vintage enthusiast. Love old photos too.
- Addicted to fitness.

Not only is fitness a great passion of mine, but it absolutely is a huge helps with my career. Similarly I'm a better model due to my love and appreciation for art.

Planning is key to shoots and good results. I like to plan a lot prior to shoot day if possible.

You may notice the same photographer's names appearing throughout my photos. Proud to say that I return and work with the same photographers. Currently I am even working almost weekly with a photographer.


STATS
I take my measurements monthly on my website and PurplePort. However see my last login date if I'm busy away.


MODEL HISTORY
Started modelling as a child, modelling regularly in a magazine (paid work).

Took part in a few shoots in my teens until my love of performing took over.

Worked for a few years as a hair model (this included competitions and yes this was paid). I have long hair full of volume.

Modelled as just a make up model at events.

Legs and shoe work (paid).

It was then in 2013 while working on maybe my third performance themed shoot that I realised how much the two forms of art compliment each other.

I'm a better model due to performing and I'm a much better performer due to modelling.

My earnings and experience allowed me to become an Equity member in 2014. Very proud moment.

Open to different styles, moods and looks. Been told I have the ability to look very different.

Don't mind indoor shoots, but prefer outdoor shoots (they really inspire me and I really feel the outdoor energy).
Obviously indoor shoots have a lot of pros.

Work down to implied nude. As long as it's tasteful and empowering to women.

For the main part I say lingerie/swimwear is my limit, because I'm very picky when it comes to to anything beyond lingerie.
Up to lingerie - style me as you wish.
Also I'm not shy outdoors.

Work very happily in teams. Paid experience working as a solo model, in duets and in groups.

I have paid experience working in different settings.


RELIABLE MODEL FOR PROJECTS
I'm reliable and only ever agree to a shoot once I can absolutely can commit.

References available to read on PurplePort and Social Media.

I do value my worth and how much I can bring to your shoot.

Sorry this really is long. I'm a chatterbox, but this can have it's pro - being thorough and asking plenty of questions ensures a smoother sail. Many might not like my chatty approach, but it gets better results than when I don't show an interest.

Whatever your theme, outfit, hairstyle, location etc. I will embrace it.


NO MORE SPAM I'M A PHOTO EDITOR
I can edit photos and footage.

Do not appreciate spam on my wall from random people who don't take time to work with me. You're not part of the collaboration team.

Either join the team and work together or do one.

When the team needs to edit our art, it will be a member of our collaborative team that will edit. We have created the image and we will finish it.

As mentioned I have experience as a photo and video editor. It's rude to tell a complete stranger that their art needs your input. Stop posting spam on my wall.

Tags will be instantly deleted. We won't view your profile even. Spam sales.


MY PROJECTS AND SHOOTS
In addition to my work as a model I enjoy running projects. I'm full of detailed ideas for own projects. Will provide costumes and styling. Sometimes I scout for locations and test venues.

For indoor shoots I look for interesting venues for backdrops. See end for project ideas.

When working on your shoot or project I'll follow your lead and discuss what you want to achieve to fully understand your vision.

On paid shoots my opinions won't come up ever. Dress/style me as you wish. I'm fully aware of why you're hiring me - I'm a model (not a stylist, photographer, technician etc.). It's all about what you want. As long as my clients are happy with the images, I'm happy.


PROFILE CHANGES
You can sadly only have one model profile so my profile may change drastically from time to time to match current projects/aims.


MORE IMAGES AVAILABLE - LETS KEEP IN TOUCH
To see more of my work I'm on Instagram as @harveyvampmodel

Profiles can also be found on social media sites under Harvey Vamp (these profiles are not fashion model focused, but burlesque artist/entertainer and vintage enthusiast related).

Feel free to browse and if we click let's follow each other on social media to keep up to date with each others work and/or art.

I'm not only Model Mayhem , PurplePort and Social Media sites to find work, but also because I love looking at photography. Love art galleries. So yes I really do want to see your creations online and follow your journey :)

Happy to follow back as long as your profile is open (need to see what I'm following lol) and not overly offensive (I'm an open minded person with many interests so I guess it's just no to the "isms" that springs to mind).

Thanks for any likes, comments etc. I'll engage back as long as there is content to do so.


UPCOMING TRIPS.
Let's arrange a shoot. Although please note this is a rough guide. When away I will have other commitments and bookings.
1. London: Wednesday 2nd - Monday 7th February 2022.
2. Manchester: 10th - 12th February 2022.
3. Then dates TBC... 27th February possibly. Definitely 28th February - 1st March 2022.
4. Glasgow and Edinburgh: Waiting to hear on dates. End of August possibly start of September 2022.
5. Has been interest in returning to London this year, but I've not been booked so nothing to confirm.


MOSTLY I WORK FOR PAY OR TFP.

SO TFP, PAID OR OTHER?

Won't be out of pocket unless I'm making profit from the project.

I really shouldn't have to say this, but frankly I've been disgusted by some photographers and studios (Not all. Love most of you. Won't name names I'm too professional and things are not black and white).

If both parties are benefiting. Maybe it's a shoot to explore ideas, a test shoot, a shoot to keep ourselves current, photos we are just posting as content fillers or working on each others projects in exchange (creating art) - TFP is a good option.

However if anyone is making money - we all make money together. If you're being paid or expect to be paid for any photo - everyone is paid. If the photos will bring customers to your shop, salon, studio etc. then we all get paid. For a new business budget might an issue, but there are options around this where we all financially gain, but without the risk.

I'm excluding entertainment events where all costs go back into the theatre, group, society etc. upkeep. Excluding charities. These come into TFP, so don't be put off and do contact me. Time can also be offered.

If after a TFP shoot an opportunity came up to financially benefit from the shoot - then again we all benefit.

I also find it disgusting when studios ask their clients (not models) for payment, don't pay models, but instead exploit their paying clients using them as models to bring in business and make even more money. Being paid is not wrong/the issue here (not at all) - using photos that you've already received payment for to make further money and make connections is unacceptable.


MY PROJECT IDEAS
Project ideas:
If you fancy any of the following projects ideas let me know (and also let me know about any projects you would like me to be a part of in exchange).

Happy to hear any suggestions too.

We will create a mood board for each, sometimes there's a test shoot (or second shoot to improve the shots), sometimes spare hands for make up touches and/or other assistance.

1. Burlesque lap dance shoot (currently practicing after a break from dancing).

2. Burlesque striptease in a bath with wine (I've found three potential venues so far with freestanding baths. One is in Edinburgh (would suit old Hollywood vintage vibe), the second I'm waiting to hear back from the venue, and the third is in Leeds (would suit something mod 60s or modern with a vintage/retro vibe). Will be seeking venues closer to home too.

3. 40s street shoot. Posting a letter and being sucked into the letterbox.

4. 60s mod mannequin shop shoot (still seeking a venue. Possibly a second-hand shop).

5. 40s lingerie bike ride (not yet acquired a vintage bike).

6. 20s boudoir.

7. 40s Fairwell or reunite at a steam railway. Seeking a co model. I've had quite a lot of interest, but working on the venue.

8. 40s juxtaposition table shoot. Hopefully featuring myself with another model. Models to be clothed in 40s attire above the table and lingerie below the table plus other 'hidden' naughty sights. Slightly Betty Page inspired.

9. Open to ideas on anything pin-up holidays/seasonal related throughout the year.

10. Implied nude. Female dominant empowerment. Just me and my black Ostrich feather boa (it's a beauty. Selfies to test the look on Instagram).

11. As mentioned previously I enjoy lifting. Fitness, victory rolls, and lingerie shoot with my beautiful Olympic bar.

12. I have a few costumes that glow. Would like to do something with the luminous costumes. Shadow and light. Similar ideas would be interested to explore.

13. Close up on body parts. Might tie in with lap dancing shoot.

14. Drag king shoot. Love playing characters and have a burlesque male character. Would love to do this both as a solo shoot as well as a a group shoot "lads night out". Full of stereotypes.

15. Drag King and Drag Queen (Princess) duet.

16. Disney princesses. Two ticked off the list. Although planning to redo. Would like to experiment with a few varieties from vintage to modern.

17. Light and shade shoot. Maybe bring us in with the burlesque lap dance.
IF you love vintage inspired or authentic vintage we need to chat!

Let me know also if you would prefer to work on these projects one-to-one or with other creative individuals (other photographers, MUA, Hair Stylist, Clothes Stylist, Models, Other).

Tell me also about all of your own ideas and shoots/projects you'd like me to work on for you also.


COSTUMES AND CLOTHES
Not at all a fashionable person. This certainly makes me a good model because I never give my opinion - what the stylist wants me to wear I will wear.
If you're short of clothes or costumes: I own some pretty costumes. Some include LED lights. Clothes wise I have a very simple and small wardrobe.
