Hello!  I actively modeled part time 2002-12 in San Francisco and the East Bay, took a break, and now am interested in a few new shoots in Halifax.  Also possibly in Montreal, where I recently lived several years, or ones entailing further travel.  I'm sorry I don't know French yet, or have NS driving license yet; I'm traveling by bike from the peninsula.  Please inquire if you want to connect!

A majority of my experience for the decade was in live figure art modeling, which I'm open to doing again, but I've also enjoyed a fair variety of photo shoots.  I've done sessions posing interactively with other models, but most of my work's been solo; that's what I'm seeking for now, though am open to discussing other scenarios.  I have some experience as well in video, an acting and dance background, some martial arts training, and practiced performance art regularly in the Bay Area 2001-14.  I don't have a strongly "alternative" look, with no body modifications except finger tattoos which can be masked, and no piercings. 

I've been androgynous for years and in 2015 decided to shift my gender presentation toward more masculine, though I'm still versatile and can play with a range of energetic inflections if inspired.  I've done edgy work in some fetish and sexually explicit styles, including multiple shoots with notable erotic photographers such as Michael Rosen and Larry Utley, also much classical art portraiture, and some street fashion photography.  I can provide references.  I bring strengths in being creative and relatively flexible, grounded in the dynamic, graceful staging and framing of poses, communicative about my abilities, and capable of giving a lot once I'm warmed up and we click.

My rates are reasonable and also vary according to the content of and intention for the work.  I will expect to be paid appropriately higher for more explicit genres, and for images the artist intends to sell copies of.  I am open to discussing various proposals, and trade fp at this time as I want to build a different look in my portfolio.  I'm professional and come prepared for the type of job to the best of my ability; I also expect artists to let me know beforehand what I should be preparing for, and to have clear dialogue about expectations.  The arc of activity during a booking doesn't have to be all plotted as I can roll fairly well with improvisation, but I do have some limits to note too. 

These include:  generally not accepting bookings which might incur longer lasting physical traces; i.e., bodypaint that would leave a notable tint, posing tied by material that would leave marks, etc.  My body hair ranges between fully natural and sometimes trimmed; I don't remove my fur beyond that.  It's increased with hormonal shift, and I now present as moderately furry.  I don't dye my hair or significantly change its style, which has a mix of ginger, brown, chestnut and silver colorings.  Due to some injury limitations, I can't hold full kneeling postures or sit legs folded with my weight fully borne on my bent left knee.  I don't typically model with leather garments or props, though enjoy some pleather options.  I don't smoke, and am a bit chemically sensitive, so I'm not up for meeting with people carrying strong scents of tobacco, cannabis, cologne, or laundry and grooming products.  Also if artists use oil paint, turpentine, or other off-gassing plastic or dye materials, fumes affect me so ventilation is important.  If the environment includes animals like cats or dogs that gravitate toward the model's spot, I'll need them kept away and the area cleaned up of fur remnants prior because of some dander allergies. 

To see further examples of my looks, ask and I can send information.  What I've posted here includes samples from shoots I've done with a few MM members: all pleasant to work with!  To contact me,
Please let me know:
what location and time you'd like to meet in
what content you want to focus on
if any costumes/props/makeup/other participants would be involved
what is the compensation offered
what goals are for the finished work
if you have any similar portfolio examples for me to see
how to contact you by Phone call--I Don't txt--to discuss and confirm plans

I may take a few days to reply to inquiries, but will respond as soon as I can.  I'm using this site for my focus on specific types of modeling, and those which I can pursue in my immediate location, as I only can accept offers to travel which are well-paid.  My acceptance of 'friend' requests reflects those of artists and models I've worked with, or whose bodies of imagery and stated focuses seem congruent with the types of work I want to support.  I look forward to great new collaborations!
