Friends (481)About Me
(Please text 864-MODEL-TX or send me an email at [email protected] to discuss booking a close-upcoming shoot with me. I do not check this account as frequently as Facebook either, so send me a message through my page at www.facebook.com/elle.joy.portfolio. TAGS AND PHOTO COMMENTS ARE INCREDIBLY WELCOME AND THOUGHTFUL BUT SHOULD NOT BE PROVIDED AS SHOOT OFFERS.)
**Before you send me a TF shoot offer, PLEASE read the sections below the travel dates ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ INTRO Thanks for checking me out on Model Mayhem! If you're reading this right now, you have work for me. Let's make that happen. For the last 15+ years, I have modeled and assisted photographers, painters, designers and many other shapes and sizes of artists to help them create and present their visions, creativity, passions and unique talents to the world. I love being a part of the collaborative process. HISTORY My experience is diverse. I started out in runway when I was a young teenager working under agency contracts, and then continued on to work as a freelance model as the years progressed. I gained more and more international experience, began expanding my network, and diversified my target market while acquiring new skills, and have always welcomed both the constructive feedback, and negative criticisms that help me grow. I listen to directions, and suggestions, on how to improve without taking any of it personally, as we are all organic and never finished products. I have found that is the key to longevity as a model. ELLE JOY I am 100 percent natural with dark-brown eyes, and dark-brown curly hair that is easy to work with, and straightens easily with a blow dryer and/or flat iron. However, I do have a wig fetish with a plethora of styles to choose from, as well as a variety of colored contacts (please see below for more info on availability of use). I'm Italian /Swedish-American by ethnicity with olive skin that I usually keep lightly tanned. If you have a preference for darker skin, please give me at least 48 hours notice prior to shoots for preparations. EQUIPMENT I have lighting, backdrops and other equipment available for rental to those who are interested in doing studio shoots, but do not have a place to work, or want to transport their own equipment. The location is in Northwest Houston and must be used only during shoots with me. Please message me with inquiries on rental costs. PORTFOLIOS I will do my best to add raw and untouched photos of me to show you that I am not just a retouched creation. I am VERY behind on portfolio updating and working on a number of different business ventures, but if you would like to see more photos, please send me a request for me to send you some other work AFTER you check out these other online portfolio sites: http://www.facebook.com/elle.joy.portfolio http://modeldesire.com/profile/ElleJoy http://www.onemodelplace.com/models/elle-joy http://www.facebook.com/elle.joy.modeling https://www.instagram.com/elle_joy_ryder/___________________________________ --------------------------------------------------------- *** NO LONGER ACCEPTING BOOKINGS GLOBALLY FOR 2020!!! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BOOKINGS To inquire about rates for shoots, please send me a message with details for the shoot that includes location, preferred dates and general times of day, the intended use of the photos, the estimated length of the shoot, whether or not you will provide a MUA, etc... The more details the better. My general rates for shoots are $100/hr and $150/hr for shoots including nudity (Please see restrictions on "Nudity" below). Additional fees may be added for travel time, make-up/hair, use of photography or lighting equipment and/or props, intended use for advertising, and shooting for extended hours or on holidays, participation in workshop shoots, etc... I do have a 2 hour minimum for all shoots booked. -RUNWAY RATES: I do not do much runway these days due to the hours that go into it compared to the amount of pay provided. I do, however, provide management services, and provide runway models for those needing assistance with casting calls. To book me for a runway or other promotional event, please email me a message with the payment offer, designers' name, location and date/time of the event, and any other details and requirements for me to review. Rates vary according to needs, and time requested. -BOOKING DEPOSIT: I do ask for a $50 deposit upon booking (from those who I have never worked with before) that is applied toward payment for work in person on the day that my services are provided. All deposits are final and non-refundable. -DISCOUNTED RATES: To support the arts and the success of starving talents, I do offer discounts for painters and other artists who are trying to get their work into galleries, particularly those who give me molds of their work of me, or final artwork, etc... If this applies to you, send me a message with your offer for me to review, and I'll see what we can do to make it happen for you. I'm a flexible person and am open to negotiations. CANCELLATIONS: I work hard to surpass people's expectations of me, and take pride in being reliable, so I do not cancel when a shoot is scheduled unless it is absolutely impossible for me to do otherwise. I ask that others please do the same, and provide me with at least 24 hrs notice before shoots if cancellations, or rescheduling, is needed. All shoots cancelled thereafter will lose their $50 deposit, and may be subject to being charged for the full amount of the shoot. TFP OFFERS: I am only accepting TFP shoots under rare circumstances, as I typically contact photographers myself that I want to work with when I need portfolio work, but if you have an idea in mind, message me specifying that you have TF request, and describe your concept. I'm always open to considering trades if the right new opportunity crosses my path, or lends opportunity to diversify my portfolio (or if it just seems fun or amazing to be a part of.) Otherwise, I'm sorry. I just stay too busy these days. Happy creating. NUDITY: I have a great appreciation for fine art and other photography involving nudity, but I usually only accept assignments involving SUGGESTIVE nudity shoots, only with rare exceptions of working with fine art photographers or painters for gallery or exhibition pieces. I do not do pornographic images, or any shoots including nudity that are not considered fine art images or gallery work, nor do I do nude shoots with anyone who is not an experienced/ advanced photographer ANY TIME. Nude shoots with advanced photographers for fine art purposes are considered only after my careful consideration of your work on a case-by-case basis. Let me know what you have in mind if you would like to book shoots that would include nude posing (if it is a paying shoot only please) with enough time provided for me to do my research. All offers not providing sufficient time for such will be rejected. (to all GWC's, shame on you...stop ruining it for everyone. I mean really. You suck for preying on those who don't know better. Go to hell. ) ESCORT: If I don't feel comfortable shooting with a photographer that I have never worked with before, then I won't accept an offer to shoot. I research all of the people I work with first to judge their talent and professionalism, however, not everyone has the time or ability to create an online reputation, which I take into consideration. For shoots booked with me by new photographers that require me to meet in a private location, I do ask to be allowed to bring an escort for safety purposes. However, at no time whatsoever will my escort be asked, or expected to, stay in the area that I am modeling in longer than the initial introduction, nor will they be anyone related to my personal life in any way. All photographers must be prepared to offer references of a professional nature at the time of the initial booking, and prior to my acceptance of the shoot offer. Thanks for your professionalism and understanding of my need to keep myself safe, and fulfill that duty to myself for the sake of those who love me. Thanks so much for checking me out! So many of you on here have such amazing creativity and talent to the extent that you all so frequently fascinate me to such an endless degree! I am really looking forward to working with so many of you! Until we meet again, happy creating! Ciao ciao! :-) ~ Elle Joy Don't forget to follow me on Instagram at Elle_Joy_Ryder, and if I've worked with you before, don't forget to leave me credits on here! Recommendations go a long way with experienced photographers, and help models know who is trustworthy, and awesome to work with too! ------------------------------------------------------ TRAVEL DATES FOR ELLE JOY RYDER: ________________________________ **I am sorry, but all travel tours have been suspended due to personal reasons until further notice.
