I'm a full time model, looking to meet fellow creatives and create some beautiful images... 

I'm interested in working outside in, up and on nature, in woods, fields, water, rocks, sand, mud - I’m not afraid to get mucky. I also love abandoned buildings and creating narratives. 

 

What I can do:

- I can contribute creatively to a shoot - modelling, performing and directing. Though i'm more than happy to take it, I need no direction. I thrive on responding to an environment and can create numerous poses, taking into consideration framing, lighting etc., so you can focus on taking great pictures. 

- I have experience in studio & site specific modelling, film and music videos. 

- I'm also a practicing artist, working mainly in performance art. I love working with other creatives, helping them to achieve their artistic endeavours. To me, that is what this is all about. 

- I am very versatile when it comes to creating looks. With an extensive collection of costumes and props, I have all manner of interesting and odd bits and bobs that to spice up a shoot. Much of my performance work involves the creation of characters and explores themes related to the body and representation. Styling myself is a part of this. I also have lots of connections with other performers and stylists from whom I can borrow. So, if you have a theme in mind, just let me know.

- I can do my own hair and make-up. My face, body and hair are au natural (no botox, no silicone, no tattoos, no dye, relaxer or extensions) *some piercings (belly bar) - can be removed if necessary. 

- As a (hobbyist) dancer, yogi and art nude model, I'm very flexible and comfortable with my body which makes for great versatility of poses as I'm more body conscious. I'm particularly good at climbing trees and bending myself into tights spaces.

Levels: 

- I'm very comfortable in my body. I work up to art nude. Finding new ways to explore different ideas, visions and emotions, I find the most exciting part of creation and collaboration. Art and performance using the physical form is my passion and modelling is one of the ways that I enjoy exploring that physicality.

- I also work in - Fashion, Alt fashion, Art (nude), Film/Video and Life modelling.

My physical properties:

- My physical activity keeps me somewhere around slim and athletic. I have somewhat sticky out ribs, very protruding collarbones and my heritage has gifted me with a year round tan. Do check my latest images and stats for what I look like now.

- My pubic hair comes and goes on a case-by-case basis. I also life-model, so it is usually present in some form or another. If you would like something specific please ask me well in advance.

- My head hair is big, long, curly and completely natural. I have somehow managed to go my entire life sans dye, so it is naturally dark brown with hints of auburn in the sunlight. It's been said to have both lioness and Pre-Rapheliteesque qualities.

Booking Me:

- This is my full time job, hooray! That means I'm flexible, available weekdays and weekends, and I can travel anywhere!

- This also means I have very limited time for and will turn down TF most of the time. However, please don't let that stop you. If you have something great in mind do get in touch. You never know...

- I'm based in London and I love to travel. Outside of London I do ask for travel expenses.

- Now available to model with the wonderful Sugar Magnolia [link removed]

What some artists have said about me:

"Bayleaf is a great model, she is really engaged and enthusiastic, and intuitively understood the approach of the shoot. She took direction well and really nailed the look we were going for. Her perseverance and dedication meant that we had a very successful shoot and got more shots than we could have hoped for." Daniel Murtha

“Bayleaf is a delight to work with.  She is highly professional as a full time model, with clear and open communication, punctual to each session and sincere in understanding the modelling brief.  She has great insight into artistic aims and, where appropriate, is keen to be part of the creative process and to bring her own experience into each session.  

Bayleaf will take the time to understand and enhance the modelling brief as a clear part of the team where needed and has the empathy and experience to make any modelling session relaxed and confident." WN

 

Looking forward to hearing from you!
