Paola.

~a note from me~ 
Hello, I'm sorry I've not been very active here for the last 10 months or so! I've been very limited in what I can take on, so unfortunately I've not been able to keep up. I will still be very busy until the end of August, then I will be updating my port and responding to messages. Until then I am active on instagram @paolamodels . P x

Hello, I'm Paola.

An experienced part-time model/creative. Petite, in proportion. Cool olive skin tone, which warms during the summer. Naturally curly to wavy hair, currently shoulder length. No tattoos or piercings (not even ears!). And probably full of green tea and watermelon. I can do my hair and makeup to a good standard, and I'm passionate about clothes. I love to work with creatives and be creative. So if needed I can bring along a case full of clothes and a head full of ideas, if there's a brief I'll go out of my way to be prepared for it. Not afraid to put work in to get the best out of a shot. 

My look is natural, unique and versatile - I have posed from fashion to gothic to emotive with more looks in between. Whether you're experienced or a beginner I can work with you, posing naturally or directed. I'm easy going going and patient while working, I don't mind walking up that hill or redoing a pose if you need to change the set up, and I'll help you change it if I can! I'll come to shoot with a natural hair and makeup look, unless something different would suit the shoot better. I aim to come away from a shoot having enjoyed it, learnt something new and made some art we're both proud of.

When we're booking I like to know what sort of images you'd like to get back - this helps me be prepared. A moodboard is usually pretty helpful. I'm currently based in Swansea but I'm quite a seasoned traveller so I'm happy to travel over the UK (and beyond) to shoot however I do ask for my travel costs to be covered.
