Ms Nikita Tachibaba

Hello, thanks for taking a moment to view my profile.

My name is Ms Nikita, I'm a easy going, friendly, outgoing female designer/photographer/performer based near the heart of Central Manchester, England.

Primarily I am a motion designer, web-graphics designer and have been freelancing in the industry for sometime. I'm interested in motion media, movie making, storytelling and photography. I take my creativity seriously and approach all projects in a professional, yet relaxed manor.

Background:
Photography has always been a pastime of mine, something I'd do during my travels. Since I started to share more and more of my images online; more of my photography friends have suggested I should "go pro". Well...

I initially started photography on 35mm film, learnt to develop with various processes and mediums as a means to support my creativity, then switched to digital around 2006 and not looked back since! Nowadays I only shoot raw and archive all images long-term. I retouch and process all my own images.

Currently I don't see myself as a pro-tog yet, more of an enthusiast or a serious hobbyist, if you will. I aim to upload a wide variety of images demonstrating my creative abilities and potential, in the hopes that some of you would like to collaborate. Create something artistic or possibly different from the norm.

Genre:I'm interested in gaining more experience with live subjects, experiment with various lighting conditions, surroundings and environments but will be more than happy to try anything.

My main areas of interests are commercial, lifestyle, cosplay, urban, portraits and fashion photography. I prefer to shoot outdoors in natural light or in urban environments... but I'm completely flexible. If you have your own ideas, I'm all ears.

Goals:
My goals are simple. I aim to build a commercial portfolio, to spark a new career in another field.

I don't currently have access to a studio - I'm working on it.
I'm flexible and available most days or evenings (if you prefer) and possibly weekends.

I'm available for TFP if we both parties gains, however travel costs will be split. I don't drive, so I'm limited to public transport. I'm also willing to travel a reasonable distance, mostly around in Southern England. Legals:

I require that all models sign a model/performer release agreement. I reserve the rights to retain all copyright for any unpaid TFP / PFT assignments. Full terms and conditions are available on my website, google MsNikita.
