ABOUT ME & MY SKILLS

A model, self-taught stylist and trained Makeup Artist of 7 years who is confident, creative, dedicated and energetic. Giving 110% on all shoots I participate in and do my absolute best to ensure you get the shots you desire as well as add something unique to your portfolio. I will work with little or no direction whilst also throwing in ideas of my own (trust me I have a lot) however I am always looking for ways to improve, learn and to grow so if you have a specific idea that's not currently listed in my portfolio you can guarantee I will try my hardest to execute it.

As you can see from my YouTube channel (in the links) I am highly skilled in creating unique and elaborate make-up designs whilst also being a dab hand with a tong and hairbrush. Asides from this I can change looks/hairstyles completely within a short amount of time ensuring you get as many varied sets as possible for your portfolio. 

Most I have worked with would describe me as "witty, a little crazy, talkative and extremely dedicated" I go above and beyond to ensure you get the most out of our shoot and more importantly leave with a smile on your face having had a great day. The explorer in me means no mountain is too high to pose on top of and no location too dusty for me to tackle, I can work in the blistering heat and also the freezing cold. You will never hear me complain nor state that anything is impossible.

MY NICHE! 

Having undertaken a vast amount of shoots now in derelict locations both at home and abroad, it is safe to say that Urbex is a theme in which I master and excel at best, which also means I have an entire map of both abandoned and landscape locations from all over the UK, Europe and beyond! So you can be assured to know booking me for that specific theme isn't just a photoshoot but an exploration into the history of places you wouldn't usually see or visit and of the beautiful abandoned buildings that are slowly being claimed by nature. (I am also an urban and landscape photographer and explorer in my free time so you can be assured I know a thing or two when it comes to a camera (Canon preferably) and lighting ;)

Also over the last year, I have become a full-time Nomad meaning I have modelled in almost 30 countries and shot with a range of photographers including those from Germany, Canada, America, Georgia and Lebanon. Asides from that I am a workshop host in Georgia & Armenia hosting photographic trips alongside my partner and acting as both a guide and model so you can be confident that I know how to run events and workshops to the best of my ability.

I consider myself as an extremely versatile model and don't claim to be a master at modelling any specific looks although I do work particularly well with Fashion, Pin-Up, Vintage, Bridal, Gothic and Beauty.(I am a bit of a fairy with creating crazy makeup designs using glitter, rhinestones and other craft materials)

MY WONDERLAND WARDROBE!

You will be delighted to know I have an extremely varied and diverse wardrobe full of anything from Bridal gowns, Ballgowns and genuine Vintage dresses to Latex, PVC, Pinup and Fashion outfits, all of which are continuously being added to. I also have a large lingerie collection and a variety of props, accessories and shoes, boots, stilettos. Some of which are bespoke items I have collected from the 28 countries (and counting) I have visited. Also as seen below I regularly collaborate with designers in Europe who are always happy to send me pieces to model in return of some images they can use to promote their business. With a little notice I am always able to source something unique and beautiful and I take care of all the postage fees my end. 

TRAVEL

I am willing to travel as far as the booking will take me whether that be the UK, Europe or beyond, providing my expenses are reimbursed if travelling more than 30 miles

My rate is 35/ph: This is incredibly competitive considering and taking into account my 7 years of experience within modelling and makeup artistry, styling, headpiece design, use and access of unique locations and utilisation of some of the most amazing designers around the world. As well as my skills in posing and the creativeness and detailed effort I can input into shoots: Including sourcing of unique locations, sourcing my own props and even set design. This can of course be negotiated but only if you are on a set budget or if you are looking to book me for longer than 4 hours. I NO LONGER work on TFP assignments unless you can add something different to my already varied portfolio and I feel it's beneficial. Although there's no harm in asking if you think your project will be worthwhile.

CANCELLATIONS

so here's that dreaded paragraph, as much as I love what I do and even though I may not be the full time I still put equally as much effort into my shoots as those who work full time, so If you do have to cancel please let me know as soon as possible, I'll always be happy to re-schedule and I may be able to offer better rates for the next shoot. However, if you cancel within 5 days I'll require 50% of my fee to be paid. If it's within 48 hours I'll require 100%. I'm sorry if this puts you off and I understand that emergencies happen but one must avoid cancellations if possible. I will assume you have read my notes carefully and agree with my policy when booking with me! :)

Deposits: I now take a 50% deposit for one to one bookings & tour bookings. This will be deducted from my total fee on the day and if for any reason I have to cancel you will be refunded this deposit in full. 

This is because I am no longer based in the UK permanently but instead return back to the UK specifically to shoot every 6-8 months.
