Ashlea Taylor

I came to modelling through a circuitous route...which I find is always how the best opportunities present themselves! I have travelled and lived abroad, in Canada, the US and Argentina, teaching English as a second language, and I speak fluent Spanish. I have always loved fashion, lingerie and shoes, and I have always loved art and beauty in all its forms, including photography, so modelling is such a joy for me and I love being part of a creative process.. I find it empowering to show my curvy body with a boldness I did not find until my forties.

Alongside modelling, I am also in the process of setting up a life coaching practice and a blog to support women to redefine their working lives. I like to think I am 'walking the walk' and giving my clients a positive example of this! I want to show women that the only limits are the ones they set themselves.

I work up to art nude, including glamour and topless, (but not explicit or open leg). I am very curvy with a 36DD natural bust. I have an olive complexion, green eyes and (currently) dark red which is naturally curly but can also be worn straight or pinned up. I trained as a gymnast and now stay in shape by regularly visiting the gym and pole-dancing. I am body-confident and not phased by the camera. I can do hair and makeup to a high standard. I don't have any tattoos or piercings, and I keep my eyebrows and eyelashes natural and I don't wear false nails. 

I am confident meeting new people and I can put anyone at ease; I have great communication skills; I am easily directed and will go that extra mile to get the shots exactly as the photographer wants. I also have my own creative ideas and can contribute to a shoot if desired.

I have an excellent range of jackets, dresses, footwear, lingerie and jewelry to use at shoots. I can travel, often at short notice and I have my own car. 

I am open to TFP to enhance my portfolio, paid work or TFP/pay combination, and also happy to consider.
