BIOGRAPHY:
Shelly d'Inferno is a tattooed alternative model, performer, fashion designer, make-up artist, photographer and entrepreneur. She has been involved in the alternative scene for over a decade performing at some of the largest alt events/festivals as well as graced the covers of several international magazines such as Bizarre Magazine, Total Tattoo, Tattoo Italia and Advanced Photographer.
During early teens she experimented with photoshooting and discovered her passion for modelling, photography, fashion and makeup - which she took on as a career after moving to London in 2009.

Alongside the already mentioned trades Shelly also designs and runs her own fashion labels Magic Markings and Rummager, which she hosts under her own online retail site House of Inferno. Rummager, previously known as Heavenly Inferno, started in 2009 and focuses on upcycled/recycled outfits with inspiration from anything from punk-rock streetwear, custom made stage-wear and creative costumes. Having made clothes since the age of 15, Shelly continued her learning with finishing a 3 year degree in fashion design.

In 2013 Shelly was part of founding a new fire performance group called Pyrohex as she took on yet another profession as a performer. She practices many kinds of performance arts, as well as designing, building and selling her own custom show equipment. Between Pyrohex and her solo shows she has performed at many of the biggest alternative events around the world such as Download Festival, Hellfest, London Tattoo Convention, Wacken Open Air, along with many other fetish events and club venues.

As a woman of many trades Shelly tends to be drawn towards very creative and versatile styles, which we can see by not only viewing her modelling portfolio, but her own photography and makeup looks. Quoting her own words Shelly explains she could never be stuck in one genre and that she knows herself as a bit of a shape-shifting wild child who sees beauty in a lot of things.

"Shelly is a cross between two of sides of the beauty tracks - Fairuza Balk and Christina Aguilera. She can scare you and charm you at the same time. A lot of fun shots here, plus energy that screams at you. Doesn’t always need to be overdone with lots of make-up, has plenty of strong facial features and a great smile. Gorgeous. My favorite for a How Cool yearly model."

"Wonderful to meet, wonderful to work with. I have to say; Shelly is easily the best model I've worked with. Fantastic attitude and approach to her work. Utterly brilliant."
Andrew, Killer Heels Photography

"Multi talented top London based alternative model and curator of Heavenly Inferno fashion line, an outstanding model who transforms herself after every exposure with a totally unique look, to give your portfolio an unmissable feel."
Paul, PEAK Image Photography

"I have about 4 solid sets that I can submit to magazines. I have 240 pics that I have color balanced that are solid shots. We took 1309 pictures those 4 hours! I have to say you were probably the best model I have ever shot in terms of solid poses. I couldn't believe how much I ended up with!!"
ValVic Photography

"If you are looking for a model who really knows they are doing and doesn't look as wooden as a plank, then Shelly is your girl. Apart from her incredible and unique looks, she was really proactive in bringing interpretations of ideas to the table. If you are not good at posing or directing models, fear not, she will do that for you.
I can't recommend her enough. The shots I got were fab and I very much hope that I will be able to work with her again very soon."
