General Information
GENERAL INFORMATION DIFFERENT: I am always looking for photographers, other models, makeup artists and designers with a unique flair for cooperative projects to produce unique and exciting images. I am mainly interested in work that deviates from the mainstream. Proposed projects should be unmistakably offbeat and wildly artistic. VERSATILE: Transformations are my specialty. I do a wide range of looks and have a vast wardrobe of just about anything imaginable. If you have any particular wardrobe or prop interests, I can work with you to find pieces that fit. I also design and make clothing and costumes, so I can create something for our shoot with sufficient notice.EFFICIENT: I am equipped to handle my own makeup and styling if required. Please see my portfolio for examples of past makeup and styling work.DEPENDABLE: I am extremely reliable, and I have never failed to show up for a shoot. I am willing to travel for select photographers, designers and makeup artists with interesting project ideas!SOME IMPORTANT DETAILS NOTE: Please feel free to send your messages to feistydiva (at) feistydiva (dot) com.CONTACT: Please provide all of the project details in writing when contacting me, including, but not limited to: your name, project date(s), project location, project description, whether styling and wardrobe are provided, links to your work and compensation information. I will only consider projects with a definite and detailed plan or concept to be accomplished during the shoot. If you cannot include the required details in writing, then I cannot accept your project proposal.NUDITY: I will do artistic nude projects at my discretion for select makeup artists and photographers. Artistic nude projects must be discussed before the shoot. No exceptions or surprises!ESCORT: Unless it is a commercial project for a reputable company or publication, or unless I have worked with you before, I will bring my personal assistant with me to the shoot. RATES: My rates and compensation requirements vary depending on the nature and location of the project. Please contact me for details and conditions. I do not pay for shoots or for prints, so please don't solicit me for those kinds of services.TIME FOR PRINTS/CD: I will only consider TFP/TFCD offers if you have the ambition for making something greater than just another pretty portfolio image. Please contact me for details and conditions.Don't be so shy! Go PUBLIC with your acknowledgements and send me a message so I know about it!
