Demi Hughes

Hello, thank you for looking at my portfolio and notes; my name is Demi, and I am a professional model with professional dance and acting experience. I am classically trained in acting and dancing with a background in drama, dance and theatre training.

I am an agency signed model, with my agency offices based in Liverpool and London, however, I am able to organise my own freelance work without any added agency fees. My fees are negotiable depending on the assignment or shoot, however for shorter bookings, I do have a minimum booking of two hours at £80. Longer shoots or specific assignments are negotiable.

I am a professional belly dancer, with years of classical training prior to my development into a professional dancer, with a residency in a high end luxury hotel in Liverpool. My dance training instilled a strong sense of body awareness and correct posture alignment and I am therefore very skilled with posing, with the ability to create beautiful shapes with elegance and gracefulness or hold ‘difficult’ poses for a substantial amount of time whilst for example, lighting and equipment may need to be rearranged. Due to my dance career, I also have a collection of my own professional costumes, which I am happy to use for shoots; if you have any interest in this style of shoot please enquire.

I have an enthusiastic ‘can do’ attitude to work and will always commit to getting a perfect shot and achieving what the photographer or designer wants and I am very friendly and easy to work with and I am always the utmost professional! For me, the images from a shoot last forever, whilst any uncomfortable posing, (such as shooting in bridal or swimwear in subzero temperatures), lasts only a short space of time, and the desire to create something beautiful and artistic will always take prevalence over any shooting conditions!

I love to be creative and I find so much joy in being the model for creative visions and bringing an artistic vision to life. If you have any questions or queries about working with me please do contact me, I am very friendly and will answer all queries to the best of my ability.
