Alf Arley

Hey!

I've been modelling since 2021, but have taken it a lot more seriously in 2024. Thanks to lots of fantastic photographers, I've gained plenty of experience in front of the camera and am confident in a range of shoot styles.

About Me

I am blonde, athletic and have a fair few tattoos - all of which are easy to see within my portfolio. If you want to see more of me, my Instagram is @berryflap and I post lots of content there. 

I'm happy shooting a range of things, but my favourite shoot styles are fashion, portrait and cosplay. I particularly like whacky and creative stuff, so if you've got some cool ideas I'm all ears! I like to have a laugh on shoots and enjoy meeting new people.

I have a full-time job, so my availability is Friday afternoons and weekends. I tend to have enough demand to only accept paid shoots, but on occasion I might choose to work with you TFP - particularly if I'm keen on the concept. If we are working trade, I will only do this on a Friday afternoon and will do a maximum of 3 hours. You also need to be local, or willing to travel near to me. With that being said, I do think I'm a reasonable person who can be quite flexible on timings. I'm happy to stick around for as long as it takes (within reason!) to get the outcome we both want.

I charge reasonable rates and I only expect travel costs to be covered if I'm travelling a significant distance.

My Appearance

Unless otherwise requested, I'll turn up to a shoot in minimal, natural makeup. I take really good care of my skin, so I tend to look quite glowy and fresh. My hair is blonde and I have extensions. I'm more than happy to style my hair as you'd prefer for the shoot, whether that be straight, wavy, curly or something else. Please give me a heads up if you're expecting me to bring hairbands - I often forget these!

I do have quite a few tattoos. My left arm is heavily tattooed with a snake and flowers. I have more flowers on my left thigh, small tattoos on my neck, left ankle and right mid-arm, roses on my right shoulder, a Thai Sak Yant on my left shoulder blade and a flamingo on the left side of my ribs. I also have a bellybutton piercing, an industrial piercing in my right ear, three earlobe piercings on each ear and a septum piercing which I rarely wear.

I'm in the gym 4 nights a week doing aerial fitness. I do hoop, pole and silks which are sports I'm really passionate about. As a result, I'm quite athletic... I'm also able to do shoots using any of those apparatus!

Aerial Shoots

I am more than happy to do aerial fitness shoots. I have done aerial silks shoots at RawPics studio in Ilminster a few times, which is a great place to shoot. I'm yet to do hoop or pole in a proper shoot, but would be very happy to arrange this. The moves I can do are up to an intermediate sort of level. If you have ideas, it would be useful to send pictures of the poses you like and I can tell you what is achievable.

If you want to do an aerial shoot with me, please know that I will absolutely not do this for trade. While I adore aerials, it's also incredibly taxing. Not only is it physically tiring work,  you also end up with bruises, burns and scrapes - plus the aches and pains can last a few days! As well as that, I feel that my experience in aerial fitness is worth being paid for. I will always do my best to achieve the outcome you're looking for, and train hard to ensure my skills are constantly improving.

Levels

I am happy to shoot a number of styles, but I will only work up to a certain level. I will not shoot the following:

• Nude / art nude
• Topless
• Sheer
• Fetish

Boudoir, lingerie and swimwear are styles I am comfortable doing, so long as they are not sheer or overtly sexual. I do not do OnlyFans or produce premium/paid content, nor do I post lingerie on my Instagram account. I always expect to be paid for shoots where I'm getting my kit off, without exception. If you want to shoot lingerie or swimwear, please do not ask me to work TFP.

One last thing I ask - I'm not a huge fan of too much editing! I'm super happy with creative, interesting edits, but I don't like it when images don't really represent me. Of course, correction of imperfections, blemishes and a light touch are absolutely fine, and it's important to let photographers edit in their own unique style. However, I kindly ask that you do not edit my proportions and appearance.
