        *Model-Actress-Photographer-Writer= Creative Artist, Melodye Joy*

Hi all and welcome!

As a petite model I find myself ever changing and ever learning in this business.

My tattoos are many, but they are small enough to cover or photoshop out, if required.
-a small heart on my left wrist
-5 small butterflies on my right upper back/shoulder
-a care bear on my right ankle
-a humming bird on my lower back
-flowers on my left upper back
-sheet music and butterflies on my right arm (the largest tattoo I have)

To view the tattoos, you may visit http://s132.beta.photobucket.com/user/MelC_album/library/Published%202013/Tattoos
*Note; the 'dragon tattoo' was airbrushed on for a shoot. That is not a real tattoo.

Please refer to my website for a more in-depth biography, portfolio list, day rates and an extensive gallery of images, including publication tears.

Feel free to message me for images of my tattoos, for those who are most interested in tattoo art/nude/implied work or those who need in-depth information on my body art/imperfections before considering me for any other genre of modeling.

Current Image


Unedited/no-makeup for anyone inquiring of my current image (05/26/14)

Experitse
Though my strong suit is beauty and commercial modeling, I have done fashion, glamour, implied/art nude and other various genres or mixed arts modeling. I do like to stretch myself and the limits often, even doing some local runway shows. Currently I have begun expanding my artistic efforts into photography and writing as well.

Artist Comments
"Your work ethic is beyond reproach, you are very professional with any idea thrown at you. You take direction as a true professional and you put ideas forward. Love working with you...." photographer, Stan Glass

Please be as detailed as possible in your inquiry, please send links to image inspirations or anything of example pertaining to your shoot/style of choice.

Working together, you will get a petite model with an open mind, professional attitude & someone who will push themselves beyond their limitations.

Rates
All rates are subject to negotiation. Below is my minimal hourly rate. Day and half day rates are available, upon request.

$75 per hour, 2 hour minimum

If you so desire, you may email me directly, [email protected], for any further inquiry or to submit a more detailed set of information on your concept(s) and project(s).
