Angharada

I find my work liberating and empowering and am heavily inspired by portrayals of women in art and history. To be a mischievous nature nymph, a Grecian Goddess, a warrior preserved in time, a melancholy Pre-Raphaelite, Helmut Newton inspired, pack a punch attitude, leaving an audience feeling unsettled or mystified. To challenge social and consumerist stereotypes of what's 'acceptable', an emotion that pulls the viewer in and presents escapism, another world. A time traveling model. THIS, inspires me. Lets create some wonderful, strong imagery if this inspires you too.

I am half Latvian and half Welsh, so an interesting mix of Celtic and European features. I have been modelling on and off for about 14 years and nude modelling for 8 years. With my actor/theatre training too I believe I can adapt to any situation or concept that is given to me, with ease and natural expression. I also enjoy posing for paintings/art pieces and life drawing. I have years of experience posing for many workshops and studio days, from experienced professionals to newbies in the industry, and likewise with photography students in schools. 

When I am not modelling- you will find me cooking or dancing to 80's music and eating too many treats. 

 

TRAVEL

Willing to travel to your location (when not local to me) if expenses are covered, and always interested in potential hosting/accommodation offers. Discounts are applied for more than a day's booking for photo touring/multiple locations. 😊 I am happiest when I am modelling and travelling (and eating), I'm happy to answer any questions and go through details to arrange potential photo trips or travelling to your location. 

 

Cancellations

Local to me- If cancelled within 24 hours, 100% of the agreed fee would be asked for, BUT, and if possible- I would much prefer to reschedule the shoot at a time both convenient for us! For when I am traveling away from home and incurring multiple travel and accommodation expenses, 50% of the agreed fee will be asked for if there's 7 days (or less) notice. If cancelled within 2 days (or less) of our shoot - 100% of the agreed fee will be asked for and VERY appreciated as it's difficult to schedule another at such short notice in an unfamiliar network/region. For unpredictable weather, I'd also strongly suggest a back-up location as opposed to cancelling all together, or if we unfortunately cannot re-schedule, my cancellation fee will be asked for. 

 

I've worked on farms travelling around Canada and love hiking and adventuring- I'm not afraid to safely get wet / cold / dirty/ climb or challenge myself to get the shot ! In the naaame of art !
