Amber West

Thanks for looking at my profile.

I'm a dynamic and enthusiastic model.
I have experience in various different types of modelling. I have done fashion shows when I was younger, and still do, recent work:
Fetishistas Xpo show at the Barbican during the Skin Two weekend in November 2007. Modelled Breathless
Two day fashion show at Passion weekend at Earls Court (May 2008). Modelling Phaze and Jed Phoenix
Boutique fashion show, sponsored by SO Magazine in October 2008

I have done some commercial advertising modelling for a computer software program.
Recent promotional modelling work includes working at Erotica 2007
Published on Femjoy, Girlkiss, Restrainedelegance, Disappointedvirginity, Achtungfetish, Aquawoman, gungegirls, among many other sites
I am actively pursuing doing more 'classy' glamour, and Erotica, as well as ongoing artistic modelling.
Also I have been concentrating on fetish and bondage work.
I love creative and 'edgy' projects with a good concept.


Now in bullet points, for those of you with short attention spans : )


MY MAIN AREAS OF WORK:

ART- I don't mind how ambiguous or warped and weird it is. I have studied art for many years through different forms and adore the chance to help create some. I very much enjoy being a muse for this. I especially like combining fashion with this, and showing a more edgy side to fashion and beauty shoots.

FASHION- I am 5ft10 and size 8/10. I have done catwalk work several times and am very comfortable doing it. I like fashion a lot in general.

FETISH- I have most experience in bondage work and 'messy shoots', and using materials such as latex. I am open minded and like experimentation, so feel free to ask, however I reserve my right to choose what I deem tasteful and not explicit. References and detailed information upon request.

GLAMOUR - I appreciate 'classy' glamour, and enjoy the chance to be sexy. I'm happy with nudity, soft girl/girl and swimwear/lingerie type stuff.

ART/EROTIC NUDE - Art nude is my highest level, although happy to do tasteful 'erotic nude'. I will work to 'UK Mag' if it is in the style of Met-Art/Femjoy etc.

PORTRAITURE - One of the most basic forms of photography, and it is excellent for showcasing the talent of the photographer and their rapport with the model.

Very eager to do more EDITORIAL/COMMERCIAL modelling, so open to suggestions and grateful to anyone who can help me pursue this.
I do all soft/artistic G/G work - very comfortable with other models, and find it fun and enjoyable

I am incredibly passionate and driven about what I do, so look forward to working with likeminded individuals.
I love creative and 'edgy' projects with a good concept.

-------------------------------------------------
OTHER TALENTS
I am also trained in drama, so am keen to do any projects which might allow me to exercise this. Currently focusing a lot on acting, so more projects involving that, the better.
Please ask for a list of other skills I have/am trained in (such as archery, gymnastics, etc).
Available for dominatrix work.

-------------------------------------
RATES
All rates are negotiable. Please ask me for day and half day rates as well as hour rates. Also feel free to make me an offer.

AVAILABILITY
I have a very flexible schedule. I am available at weekends and during evenings, AND can be booked during week days if you give me a couple of days notice
------------------------------------------------
NO STUDIO/PLACE TO SHOOT? NO PROBLEM.
I rarely shoot from home, but can recommend local studios or good outdoor locations.
So the following is a list of studios I have shot at and would personally recommend.
Studio 3 , which is in Potters Bar. Very good for fetish shoots especially (http://www.studio-three.org/).
Kennington Camera Club, if you want to keep the price down (http://www.thecameraclub.co.uk/findus.php)
If you are looking for something more out of London try – White Towers Studios (http://www.photostudiosforhire.com/studio0directory/england/london/white-tower-studio.html)
NON LONDON STUDIOS
Topcat Studios (Birmingham) - http://www.studiosforhire.com/showstudio.php?refno=430
Ariane Studios (Birmingham) - http://www.arianephotographicstudios.co.uk/
Phoenix Studios (Long Eaton) - http://purestorm.com/profile.aspx?psid=PhoenixStudio01&logon%24btn_searchgo.x=0&logon%24btn_searchgo.y=0
Saracen House (Milton Keynes) - http://www.saracenhousestudio.co.uk/

Of course, on location shoots, please bare in mind I have a wide knowledge of the area and am more than happy to suggest what you are looking for. So just ask. More than happy to shoot in the wilderness : )
Also feel free to enquire about other possible location studios to where you are shooting as I have worked all over Britain in many different areas!

REFERENCES
I will likely ask for them off you if we have not shot together before. Feel free to ask me for any references you might need. I have refs from every type of work I undertake.

-----------------------------------------
TRAVEL AND TRANSPORT
I do not drive, but I do have a Young Persons Railcard, which means my train travel is reasonably cheap. Plus I am pretty good at working out the best deals for far away shoots (ie, if you book in advance from London to Manchester, the ‘Superbus’ is only 1.00!).
I am happy to travel internationally so long as travel in refunded. Please note, I am a dual American citizen which means working in the USA is not problem for me.
***Also, I expect my travel to be paid for in all non-TFCD based shoots unless it has been discussed and agreed otherwise. I will of course provide you with receipts.

-------------------------------------------
TFCD
I AM undertaking TFCD to broaden my portfolio constantly. My main areas of interest are: glamour (think Nuts/FHM/GQ – basically just topless, or ‘implied nude’), alternative, gothic, editorial, fashion, quirky/weird/fun/arty/creative, shoots. If you can offer an unusual ‘prop’, such as an animal (desperate to do a shoot with a snake!) or something, I will be most intrigued.
Make-up artists/stylists are always a big bonus, and I consider them a big part of the shoot. So, very keen to work with you if they are involved (Also happy to contribute towards kit costs).
I also am very keen to do more ALTERNATIVE shoots such as Burlesque, psychobilly, gore, goth, punk, etc, so I will always be happy to hear from you if you specialise in those areas : )
------------------------------------------
WHAT I DO NOT DO
I do not do any form of boy/girl work unless it is fully clothed and for fashion/editorial purposes or femdom work (I do dominatrix work as well).

ADULT WORK
Consider adult work for publication. I don't work higher than nude otherwise.
