Birgit Lechner

About Me
I am an internationally published model, based in London.
I grew up in Austria and studied educational science, in which I hold a master degree.

I have more than 16 years experience when it comes to modelling.
I fully enjoy getting creative on every single shoot and call myself very professional;
good communication, showing up punctual and well prepared are a matter of course.
I hold a very big wardrobe and try to bring several outfit options to every shoot.
I love to work hard and put 100% in; nevertheless I am very easy going.

I am a very versatile type with strong features - well known for my cheekbones ;-)
Shoot styles that are very fitting for my type are all kind of editorials.
I love black and white photography. When it comes to nude art I prefer styles that work very well for my body type - e.g. Helmut Newton inspired.
I am very flexible and can throw in a lot of poses; but I am also happy to take instructions.
Experienced photographers like to book me because of knowing I can own the camera - inexperienced and new photographers like that I help building up the shoot, really enjoy putting mood board examples together and can also help with editing pictures on a basic level.

Side Note:
Next to modelling and sports I work as a SA (support artist) for movies and TV-shows.
And: I love travelling!

Appearance
I have very long, strawberry blonde hair, which I never coloured; it is naturally straight and might appear a bit lighter in summer and darker in winter.
I have very light skin. My body is very slim, but toned; I am very conscious about my health and keeping my body in shape. I train almost daily; I am also a professional dressage rider and instructor and hold a Level 3 Diploma in Fitness Instructing and Personal Training.

Rates
I like to see my shootings as a creation of art and tend to avoid limiting them strictly to time.
If you prefer booking me for a shorter time of approximately 2 or 3 hours I charge:
£50 ph for portraits, fashion and lingerie
£60 ph for topless and nude

I do not shoot under 2 hr min. I am very happy to discuss a day rate.
In addition to this I charge for travel expenses if the shooting location is outside Central London.
Please note that I am a full time model and only work TFP on highly creative shoots.

Cancellation Policy
If a shoot is cancelled within 72 hours, 100% is to be paid.
This is an agreement as soon as you book a photo shoot with me.

Home Shoots
I am able to shoot from home; I have a good sized flat with natural light coming in from window walls in the living room and bedroom; the balcony can be used additional - with a nice backdrop of high buildings.
The furniture in my flat is stylish - for example a red sofa, a wonderful wooden dining table or big mirrors, which are additional good props.
If requested I can create a hotel styled bedroom.
The living room offers a beautiful wooden floor.
I live in E14 9PF, only 8 walking minutes from Canary Wharf, which is ideal to combine for a city shoot.
I personally also like to shoot in the residential area which offers a lot of different backdrops like a walking bridge with river view, the O2 in the background, green areas, brick and stone walls or a garage.
