Fellow Models,

Have you ever set out to collaborate with a photographer who refused to give you all your pictures? Pressured you to go beyond your boundaries? Touched you without your consent or permission? Maybe convinced you to take nudes? Promised you to keep certain photographs private...and you can image the rest...

Taking pictures and building your portfolio should be fun! As a model you play a vital part in creating beautiful images and you should never be made to feel uncomfortable or not receive the fruits of your labor.

Hi I am Lena, a heterosexual Female photographer, I was a model for over 10 years. All of those things have happened to me at some point in my career. Trust me I know how much it sucks to NOT receive your images or deal with a dude who keeps trying to get you naked...

We will collaborate and I will always respect your limits. I received my cosmetology license in 2004, if you need help with your hair and make up I am the girl for you! My wardrobe is extensive ranging from sizes 0-6. Including cosplay, causal, evening wear, shoes (size 6, 8, and 9) and fetish wardrobe (Latex, Leather, PVC...you name it - I own it)

My private studio is located in Manhattan. I have references available from other models. If you like to bring a friend to the shoot I will not object. Whatever it takes to make YOU feel comfortable.

If you bring an external hard drive or USB stick you will receive 100% of your pictures on the day of the shoot. I will allow you to use all the pictures in whichever way you desire.I believe models should have just as much rights as the photographer. After all its your image! You worked just as hard to get the right picture as the photographer did, sometimes even harder.

My opinion is that you deserve to have all the pictures taken of you, and you should also be allowed to use all the pictures in whichever way you want, post them wherever you want, and if you can make money from them!

Two options of shooting with Me

1. TFP - If you sign a model release allowing Me to use your photographs for my portfolio, website, etc then there will be no cost to you for the shoot.

2. Prefer keep your photographs 100% private? Bring your own SD card. I won't keep the images. If you want exclusive rights then my rates are flexible.

I picked up my first camera during a trip to Spain when I was only 5 years old. I still use Polaroid Instant Cameras and 35mm. I also own a waist level rolleiflex camera that shoots 180 and 35mm. It is basically a fully analog manual camera that gives the photographer ultimate control in regards to all settings!

For first time shoot DIGITAL is best as you can receive all your pictures right awey! I own both a Canon Rebel EOS T5 as well as two Canon Powershot Cameras (Backups).

Beyond taking photographs of people and architecture, I love using post production Adobe Photoshop, light room, and other programs. Making collages to show different looks is fun!

I also shoot videos!
