*I now work both paid and TFP, please mention in your first message what you are offering. I will prioritise paid work but will consider anything , especially if the concept is exciting!*

 

Me in brief: I am a queer autistic performer, with a huge love of nature and bright colours. I love playing with different concepts and ideas, getting messy, goofing around and styling myself. I am straight forward, organised, open minded, and, most important of all, kind. I am here primarily for myself, rather than to make a career, and as such am looking for shoots to get excited about. If you have a weird concept you just want to play around with, especially if it's outdoors, I'm your gal. I have limited free time so paid is the best way to secure me, but absolutely get in touch either way, as I will try and make the time if your work excited me! Just please make it clear from the first if you're offering pay, expenses, or neither.

The cliffnotes:

• Leeds based, very happy to travel a couple of hours if expenses are covered.
• Interested in nature shoots, art nude and erotica, anything colourful and eclectic, anything experimental.
• Curvy, tattoo'd and ginger.
• Autistic, with specific boundaries - details below.

 

Appearance:
I have multiple tattoos, visible in pictures on my profile, on my right arm and thigh. My hair is wild and thick, and dyed ginger. I would consider modifying it for a good enough idea. I am medium height, with a strong stocky build, and comfortably overweight. I'm usually covered in lots of scratches and bruises, because I tend to just throw myself at things - but that's part of what makes me fun to work with! My most striking feature is my freckles, which are only on one breast and arm, with a very defined delineation. I also have a triangular undercut and multiple scars from surgeries: four very small on the left side of my belly, and a long one just on my bikini line. I would absolutely love to do a shoot that emphasised these. I am generally hairy under arm, and sometimes hairy and sometimes not between my legs - happy to shave, please let me know in advance.

 

Autism and boundaries:
If you don't know what autism is, that's okay, don't worry too much. Mostly it means I can get overwhelmed by new experiences and specific sensory experiences. It usually isn't particularly apparent, but here are a few things that I ask for to help manage my condition:
- Please send me a picture of you, and if possible the location, during pre-coms. I will probably ask lots of questions about timings, or specifics about what is happening next - don't take it personally, I just feel better when I know what's going on.
- If you suggest something and I look uncomfortable or like I'm thinking hard, just give me a moment. It's not a bad sign, I just need time to wrap my head around some things.
- I'm bad at reading facial expressions and tone of voice. Be as patient as you can if I misunderstand what you say, or miss a joke.
- We might not have the same understanding of how a particular emotion looks, and using reference images for facial expressions is really helpful.
- I would require some form of access to tea and snacks as these help me to feel settled and stable - let me know if there won't be any so that I can bring my own :)

 

Ideas I'd like to try:
I would love the chance to shoot with another model on a shoot. I am also particularly interested in working with photographers with experience of drag and trans bodies. I occasionally like to play with male type make up and underwear, including with my binder. The following are art nude themes I would really like to shoot:
- body painting or playing with/in paint
- caked in mud, clay, or charcoal
- playing with velvet, hemp, linens, and flowers, or some mixture of these
- recreating paintings, and fine art
- playing with gender bending
- movement/dance
