TRAVEL:
San Fransisco, CA: Nov 18-19th
Manhattan, NY: Dec 5th-7th
Portland, OR/ Seattle, WA: Dec 7th- 27th.
London, England: End of January (exact dates to be announced)

I am only accepting paid work at this time, however, exceptions will be made for tear sheets, video airings, and publications.  TFP's will also be considered in exchange for paid travel expenses to locations of interest.  If you feel you possess an exceptional portfolio and can add a crucial element to mine, please contact me with your concept, wardrobe ideas, and who you plan on using for hair, makeup, etc.

I have been modeling for three years now and I am especially appreciative of creative-minded fashion/art photographer's ideas and feedback . I am looking to do print work as well as live events or film. Although most of my portfolio contains fashion and swim wear, I am looking to diversify my look and experience as much as possible and would consider TFP if the credentials are present, especially if the artist can provide an edgier element to my portfolio. The wackier and artsier, the better! I am especially interested in experimenting and working with makeup artists who can create extreme looks and who aren't afraid of playing with abstracts and color. I have fair skin and access to a very good airbrush tanning specialist, so I am very versatile on skin tone. I would also love to work (or just try new ideas) with hairstylists who are experienced in creating drastic and diverse looks. I do not do nudes (no exceptions!), but I am okay with implied nudity as long as it's a tastefully done high fashion shot. I am slender, but I have fairly defined muscle making fitness modeling also an option.  I am an ex-competitive swimmer and have shot underwater and would love the opportunity to do so again.  I am able to shoot in various conditions, comfortable or not :-).  I am very open to travel as long as accommodations are covered, with some exceptions (I travel to L.A., Oregon, and New York fairly often). I can do my own hair and makeup if needed, and have access to an extensive swim wear and high fashion wardrobe. I do have naturally curly hair, which must be taken into consideration when arranging hair styling elements.

Some of my modeling experience includes hosting a five week-long model search for Venus Swimwear, as well as providing events planning and sponsoring leading up to the shows. I have done print work for Dean Varni Jeans as well as on-site modeling for Valentino of Las Vegas for private trunk shows and also in conjunction with Luxury Las Vegas Magazine. I have modeled live for artist/painter Michael Wardle at his charity event located at Ghostbar (Palms Casino, Las Vegas) as well as represented Fashion Television during the filming of their official launch party for North America (held at Pure nightclub in Caesar's Palace- a short video clip can be viewed at http://www.ftv.com/fashion/page.php?P=741&id=26469).  I am comfortable on stage and with microphones, and adapt quickly on short notice. If you have further inquiries, please contact me by way of the e-mail: contactmichellecooper@yahoo.com.
