Lauren D'Ath

What you need to know:

I’m a makeup artist, hairdresser but recently modelling for my business- been in the industry for about 7 years but getting into modelling more so in the last year for my business only, so I wouldn’t say I’m an actual model but I do try. This is my old account on purple port, I’ve been away for a long time working on my career, training and business.

My business:

I’m a copy writer and social media manager/strategist. I help businesses advertise their work and gain clients through media. I do also every couple of months write for articles and magazines to promote my own business for the copy writing side of it- which is where the images come in.

A lot of images used are also used in articles and magazines when representing my business, I always credit the photographer and anyone who takes part. I will mention that these promotions are free I don’t get paid for them nor do I pay for them to be published, I just happen to have a fair few connections that allow me to get my name and brand in media, if you do want more information on this I’m happy to answer any and all questions you can think of.

In regards to being published in media:

I only take up opportunities that are good for my brand. I really don’t need to build a portfolio of images, so please do not message me with suggestions of anything controversial or distasteful as I will not respond. This include NSFW, cultural appropriation etc.

Please note (and I don’t mean to sound rude but this is vital to remember) I also refuse to work with any photographer that attempts to ignore my simple request to keep things safe for work- I’m not a real model as modelling isn’t my job it’s just goes well with what I do, no I don’t need to build my portfolio because I don’t need one to run my business. I’m open to different kinds of shoots but once again- providing they are work safe.

This is an opportunity to work together for me to work with a photographer who I can help get published in media a bit more providing the images suit the cause, and for the photographer to collab with a safe branded business woman who has made quite a lot of connections.
