I'm a Scottish alternative model happy to travel anywhere to shoot. I have found an artistic outlet, passion & empowerment I never knew existed. After lots of encouragement I decided to try and make this a career a few years ago. I am loving it! I can express parts of me I never knew were possible, whilst embracing my femininity and strength to create some wonderful images (so I like to think anyway). My favourite work so far has been doing a catwalk for Wella Trendvision, hair modelling in London, what an experience! 

I am more than happy working on a massive range of ideas and can easily switch my look from alternative to casual or a more feminine style, plus many things in between. I am happy travelling absolutely anywhere for a shoot - I just love meeting new people to create with! I am an outgoing individual who can "chat the hind legs off a donkey" as I get told very often (My customer service and call centre management background I think). Though I do take my work seriously, I love to make sure we enjoying our shoot time together and always strive to create a comfortable environment wherever I am to get the best results.

There is so much to explore and create - so if you want to lead a shoot and have me bring your ideas to life, or ask more about my ridiculous amount of ideas and use some of those, feel free to get in touch. I am happy working with professional and amateur/hobbyist photographers alike. Life is all about learning after all! 🖤

I am happy to be apart of many different projects and styles of shooting. I favour anything alternative, fashion, location based, fetish and boudoir.

 I like to enjoy my shoots and have fun whilst creating with other artists. Whatever the theme, I will always work hard to achieve ideas planned out beforehand, keeping the shoot professional, fun and relaxed. 

Serious bits

☆ Levels & themes worked to

 I work styles such as; portraiture, fashion, gothic, themed, alternative, implied, concealed & artistic nude, boudoir, glamour, topless, full nude, erotica, mild BDSM and fetish levels. I do not shoot anything unstated. No *secret levels*.

☆ Rate

☆ £45 per hour

☆ half day - £160

☆ full day - £300

☆ Commercial rates will vary depending on the project

☆ 72 hour cancellation policy - the shoot fee will be invoiced if you no show or cancel within this time period. This can vary on tours. After numerous let downs I have had to take this more seriously, as this is my job and I rely on the income. 

☆ Booking information and availability 

I'm available to shoot mainly Wednesdays to Sundays on a weekly basies due to college. Except for the holidays, where I am available full time again. 

I book hotels and Air B&Bs regularly to use as a base, though I am more than comfortable working in a studio and also on location. When on tour, I will sometimes add a £5/hr surcharge for use of the accomodation, it depends on how long I am in the area for, and if this is a more feesable option.

I enjoy travelling, so don't let distance put you off! Anywhere in the UK is manageable for me, and I will always find the cheapest mode of transport to keep costs low. I am available worldwide too, but travel and accomodation will need discussed for this, unless I'm touring. 

I will request travel fees to be paid on top of my fee, unless I am shooting in the area for a few days, where I of course cover my own travel and have a space to shoot.

48 hour cancellation policy - any booking cancelled at this short notice (unless exceptional circumstances) I request that the fee be honoured, as I won't be able to fill up the day at such short notice.

☆ My aesthetic

I am an alternative model who doesn't conform to most typical beauty standards. I have a double nose piercing, a medussa lip piercing, a 3mm helix ear piercing, nipple piercing and two stretched lobes at 20mm (my hair covers these most of the time).I have numerous tattoos, including; a full back tattoo, Japanese dragon theme sleeve, zombie girl on my arm and Greek mythology inspired leg tattoos of Hades and Achilles - with more to come!

I can do my own hair and make-up to a high standard but have no extensive practice in beauty. If you want specific looks and/or styles, I may manage these myself or we may need some help of a MUA if for a specific detailed project. I am always happy having my nails, face and hair done to request, otherwise I will always be well groomed for shoots. 

If you got to the end without falling asleep..... Thank-you for reading and feel free to message me your shoot ideas! :)
