High fashion/glamour/editorial/swimsuit live venues and print work

TRAVEL:

Currently traveling to Las Vegas frequently when not training in Los Angeles

 


ATTENTION:  I AM ONLY ACCEPTING PAID WORK AT THIS TIME!!!!!! 
However, exceptions will be made for projects involving tear sheets, video airings, and publications.  Photographers/MUA's/hairstylists that I have already worked with in the past get the exception too, of course:-).  TFP's will also be considered in exchange for paid travel expenses to locations of interest.  I am currently residing in the L.A. area but have recently moved from Las Vegas and travel back there frequently.  Although I have actively collaborated on print work and TFP's for portfolio development in the past, I am currently focusing more on voice-overs, paid promotions, and hosting for filmed and televised events due to my rigorous training with a performing aerial arts school for Tissue (fabric aerialism).  If you feel you possess an exceptional portfolio and can add a crucial element to mine, please contact me with information included regarding your project, concept, wardrobe ideas, and who you plan on using for hair, makeup, etc..

I have been modeling for five 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 and film. Although most of my portfolio contains fashion and swim wear, I am looking to diversify my look and add as much versatility to my portfolio as possible. 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 Las Vegas, 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: helloginger702@yahoo.com.
