Hello I'm Heather, thank you for checking out my profile!

- ABOUT ME -

I am a 5'10", 22 year old spotlight certified actor and published model based in Southampton. I also own a small business called HRM Shop UK [link removed] that sells handmade crowns and headpieces which you should definitely check out;)  

Alternative fashion, makeup, art and theatre are my biggest passions. I love shooting everything weird, wonderful and in between. I am a professionally trained actor who has worked with the National Youth Theatre, Netflix, Sky, Channel 4 and many, many, MANY theatre companies. I consider modelling an extension of my acting career and I love any opportunity to get creative. I also have a background in ballet, street dance and contemporary dance.

I am fully vaccinated and DBS checked.

- SHOOT STYLES & LEVELS -

At the moment I am only shooting fashion, headpieces and SFX makeup. 

Fashion:  Since working with a stylist, I've adopted the habit of creating outfit mood boards which I will provide before each shoot. It keeps me organised and ensures that we both know what to expect on the day :) My personal style can be considered quite dark, alternative and gothic but I'm more than happy to shape shift into different appearances and aesthetics. I own tonnes of fake piercings, temporary tattoos, wigs, extensions, fake fringes and more. I am also able to partially or completely cover my eyebrows for a more editorial look. If there is something you'd like me to bring along, please discuss this with me prior to a shoot. If you have any weird and wonderful ideas please throw them at me! I love creative shoots with a theme. 

Headpieces:  I own an etsy store called HRM Shop UK [link removed] that sells handmade headpieces and crowns. If a piece on my store isn't sold out then I'd be happy to model it! :) 

SFX Makeup:  I have an impressive collection of sfx makeup prosthetics, body paints and enough fake blood to put Carrie to shame. If you'd like to add something a little different to your portfolio, let's organise a shoot with some special effects makeup! Looks can range from editorial, surreal art, horror themed and more. Some examples of my work can be found on my instagram and website: [url removed] [link removed] Depending on the look, special effects makeup application requires 2 - 8 hours! Unless discussed otherwise, I will show up to the shoot with the makeup completed in order to avoid wasting your time.

- APPEARANCE -

I am VERY tall. Have you ever seen that photo of Taylor Swift and Bruno Mars standing next to each other? That's what I look like next to most people I know. So naturally my proportions are not going to be the same as someone who is 5 foot tall, please keep that in mind!  

I currently have mid length black hair and pale skin. I don't have any tattoos or piercings. Any piercings or tattoos I may be wearing in photos are 100% fake. I keep my nails short and usually painted black. 

- RATES -

£20 per hour - fashion / headpiece shoot. If we are shooting in a studio then I am happy to do TFP as long as the studio fees are covered :) 
£30+ per hour - special effects makeup shoot. This is subject to change depending on what type of look we are going for + how many of my products/prosthetics are required. This will be fully detailed out / can be adjusted pre-shoot.

- TRAVEL -

I don't drive, so I am living at the mercy of public transport. But I do have a railcard which allows me to receive discounts on train journeys! 

- OTHER USEFUL INFO - 

If we were to shoot together I would like permission to use our images for my online portfolio and social media. If this is something that you would not like me to do, please let me know! There will be no hard feelings :) I will always credit photographers in the description of the images. 

I currently have a black and white theme on my Instagram ~ I promise I will NEVER put a filter over someone else's photography. 

I keep my online portfolio more updated than my PP or Instagram, so feel free to check that out for more examples of my work!

I book a majority of my shoots outside of PP so feel free to message anyone I have tagged on instagram if you want more references! 

Hope to hear from you soon :)
