May Manning

Hello all and welcome to my profile 😊

About me:
I am an 18-year-old Model, Dancer and Actress based in Oxford and London.
I have been professionally trained in acting for four years with private acting coaching so I am able to bring the emotion and add depth and vitality to my photos. I also allow my eyes to tell the story through my images to add my own touch and style. I am also very versatile so can work within lots of different genres.

I have been training in dance for 13 years to date with intense classes weekly in the styles: Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Contemporary and Commercial. I would love to take advantage of the many varieties of styles I am able to do with shoots as I do not currently have any dance (related) photos on my profile. I have also done a pole silks workshop and taken part in a couple of classes of pole fitness so it would be interesting to incorporate this into a shoot as well.

I have an agent with Acting but am currently seeking representation with Modelling so I am looking to work with different photographers to add lots of different styles to my portfolio to show diversity and versatility.

I have recently started modelling within the last 6 months but I take it seriously as I do with my other professions (Dance and Acting) and work in a professional manner on set. Saying that I am a bubbly, friendly and hard working girl who takes direction very well and loves to add inspirational ideas on set. I think that it is important for the model to get involved in ideas and imagination of the shoot.

Costumes:
I am able to do my own Hair and Make-Up with different styles.
I do own a vast selection of different coloured and styled leotards and gym wear that I can use for dance shoots. I also own my own pair of pointe shoes which I am trained to use and am able to get my hands on different dance costumes.
I also own some character shoes and nude jazz shoes to add a different feel to dance shots as well.
I am open to shoot swimwear and I own a variety of different swimsuits and bikinis and beachwear for these styles shoots.
I am also toned and slim but also a bit curvy. I am 5ft 10in so would love to do some leg shots at some point to show off my long limbs.
I have two evening dresses, one light blue and the other is a light grey. I have lots of pretty dresses and a selection of heels.

Travel:
I have stated in my bio that I am based in Oxford and London as I live in Oxfordshire, however I am willing to travel to other locations and destinations as I can drive. If the location is quite far away I would be grateful to receive some of my travelling expenses to be covered.

Rates:
My hourly rate is £15-£20ph I am willing to negotiate with the photographer on an overall cost if it is more than a few hours.

Thank you very much for looking through my profile and reaching the end on my long paragraphs 😊
