Friends (94)About Me
Hi my name is Michele Del Ray. I am primarily interested in Pinup & Alternative modeling. I love anything from the 40's through 60's in style as well as modern takes on these eras. I love all things tiki, and am interested in shooting in the style of exotica/tiki/voodoo/kitch. I also am a big classic and hot rod nut. I am open to shooting lite Bettie Page style bondage and implied but not full nude.
I started out doing this because I love classic old glamour photos and wanted to capture my own image in this style. I really loved the shoots I have done so far and the fantastic people that I have met doing this. I am always positive, professional, and fun to work with on shoots. I live in San Diego and I have a really cool house that is good for shoots. We have a 50's diner, tiki lounge, macabre living room, and western 50's room (under construction) available. I work in Architecture and Interior Design. If you are interested in using my home for a shoot location please contact me for photos. I also own a '64 Thunderbird (light satin green and gloss pearl white with black interior) if needed for a shoot. I also can provide my own wardrobe (depending on the theme, I have a large private vintage collection of 50's and 60's, vintage lingerie and furs). I can also do my own Makeup (Glamor, Pin up) and Hair (50's sets) if needed. I am pretty open to ideas so if you have something on your mind and you think I am a good fit please feel free to contact me. I also love collaborating and being involved in the process when appropriate. I love styling and coming up with a look and mood for photos. If you are interested in shooting please contact me for rates. Of course there are always exceptions to any rules if a TF shoot is mutual. Some concepts I would love to shoot are: -Anything with Classics or Hot rods! (for publication or portfolio) -Tiki (I have been thinking about something like an Exotica album -cover, think Martin Denny!) Great for a band album cover! -Vintage Hollywood Glamor -60's Bridget Bardot, or 60's tv themes (Batman, Munsters, etc) -Circus sideshow (something sexy but dark) -Always more Pinup! I am looking to shoot for trade (clothes, accessories, publication, portfolio building, monetary value) I model on the side and still need to make a professional living, if a trade job takes away from a paying job the paying job will take precident. Thanks so much for taking the time to check out my page!! Looking forward to working with you!! Verified Credits (0)Worked with Michele Del Ray? Share your experience and become verified!
