Hello everybody! My name is Mercedes Allen and I hope to one day be able to make a living off modeling. I am currently in college at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, but I still have plenty of time to work in the modeling industry, and I am able to travel if need be. I attended the John Robert Powers Modeling School in 2005, and continue hoping that I can now begin getting my name out to agencies, photographers, etc. I see modeling as fun, while at the same time very professional,  and with an acting background as well as professional modeling coaching, I am sure that I would serve as a great candidate for any photographer or client looking to use me. I am open for PAID WORK! I have gotten to the level where this is a job, not a hobby.

Photographers:

PJ Studios (MM# 241649) - I love this guy! What a great personality and a joy to work with. Very rarely do you work with a photographer who can effectively mix professionalism with good personality, and he does this VERY WELL. During the shoot, he instructs you with exactly the type of emotion that should be conveyed, while at the same time allowing the model to improvise with his/her own style and flavor. The photographs he takes are outstanding and the editing afterward is beyond excellent. I would work with this photographer everyday if I could. It was JUST THAT GREAT. Very Highly Recommended.

Doug's Photography (MM# 104463) - Great personality and very creative photographer. Very serious about his work, and work ethic, and will ALWAYS give you a great shot. It is a joy to work with a photographer who knows exactly what he wants and how to achieve it, and Doug's Photography embodies this magnificently. I anticipate the next time I can shoot with him. Very Highly Recommended.

Beebe 96 (MM# 2347) - What a great person to work with. You very seldom work with a photographer with whom is personable, professional, and you love about 99% of the unedited pics. This is a photographer who has excellent camera-work, and allows the model to try new things, while at the same time allowing his vision to be seen. Highly Recommended.

Crystal Helix (MM# 511565) - Very fun photographer who is excellent at choosing locations. Even better at producing good images! Pictures are magnificent and he has a very positive attitude. Adds his insight and creativity to shots as well. Very Highly Recommended.

ChazelinPhoto (MM# 542686) - Great photographer! Great personality, great imagination, and very helpful. Takes AMAZING pictures! If you want great pictures, and a fun environment, YOU SHOULD CONTACT THIS PHOTOGRAPHER! Highly Recommended.

Burkert Studio (MM# 499586) - A photographer with a very unique and fascinating style of photography. Was great fun and experience in a different genre of editorial photography! Highly Recommended.

Steven Johnson - My first professional photographer ever. Great first experience. The shoot was very friendly and helpful. He isn't too good with keeping his word. Also late with things. Good photographer, but must constantly remind him to do things, which becomes a huge chore. Not Highly Recommended.

HaHaRadioPhotography - Photographer has great editing skills and also takes great photos. I love the more raunchy feel to his photos and how he thinks outside of the box. Very personable as well. Highly Recommended.

Prestige Photos - A studio with a variety of different backgrounds. Although prices are involved with this company, it is well worth the money for the wuality and quantity of retouched images you receive. You may remember this company because the photograph for a lot of High School Senior Portraits. Highly Recommended.

Models:

Prynce Pryor (MM# 223001) - Great personality along with a great background in modeling. Very experienced, and a great model to work with.
