Freya—international art model of mystery—returns to the west coast!

Hello!

I’m a seasoned traveling model, jane-of-all-trades, and feral warrior princess, headed to a secret Hobbit hole in France [picture a version of the Shire that's a French coastal village sprawled up a hill]!

I. NOVEMBER WEST COAST ITINERARY [flexible with advance notice]:

Initial stop: SF Bay Area

Then traveling to the following:

• Sacramento
• Grass Valley
• Reno/Tahoe
• Santa Rosa
• Up the coast to Humboldt County

After that: Based primarily Humboldt County for Winter 19/20 [let's shoot in the redwoods, or by the Pacific coast!]

II. ABOUT ME [relevant to modeling]:

• International: Professional experience shooting in the USA + Puerto Rico, Canada, Cuba, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Cambodia—and, more recently, in the UK, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Italy, and Scandinavia. While I am newer to PP, I have a long and robust reputation overall and can provide links and references on request.
• Athletic: I have background in Muay Thai [including a paid fight in Thailand], Shaolin Kung Fu, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, am a certified yoga instructor and ski instructor, with a love of extreme sports and backpacking. Once, I rode a bicycle up the entire US east coast from Key West, FL to Bar Harbor, ME—and booked photo shoots on the way! If you need an art model who is up for steep climbs or long hikes, look no further. 
• All-natural: Unshaved, no tattoos, clear complexion. The perfect blank canvas for any of your ideas! Many of my photos show me with no makeup and/or limited retouching; what you see is what you get!

III. MORE ABOUT ME [just for fun]:

• My last "real job" before I discovered modeling was running experiments on voluntary participants at NASA Ames.
• I’ve done pyrotechnics projects and built large-art installations for festivals and events on four different continents, including Burning Man
• I can operate some heavy machinery and once smashed a car with a track loader for a photo shoot
• I also sing, write [sometimes freelancing for Vice], draw, and do photography on the other side of the lens
• I am a certified ski instructor, yoga instructor, advanced scuba diver, and Thai massage therapist.
• In the last year, much of my free time has been devoted to studying Mandarin. 如果你也会说普通话，那么我很乐意和你一起练习！

IV. PAID ASSIGNMENTS ONLY, PLEASE:

Please inquire for my rate [which applies to 99% of shoot concepts, covering anything up to art/glamour nude that does not involve a risk of physical/legal danger...if your shoot concept falls outside this realm, we must discuss this ahead of time and I reserve the right to refuse shoots that I feel are too unsafe or that fall too far outside my content limits].

My job is to ensure everyone who leaves a shoot with me does so in a good mood and feeling creatively fulfilled, inspired, and like they truly got their money's worth. I can be a huge goof and laugh easily, but I take the mission of my work seriously. I've been doing this for over ten years, my success has primarily come via word-of-mouth, and I couldn't charge higher rates if they weren't deemed worthwhile and fair.

Thank you for your time—now let’s create [and perhaps have some good conversation or an adventure along the way]!

<3,

Freya Gallows
