Gemma Vendetta's photostream

I'm looking to collaborate with like-minded photographers, MUAs, Clothing designers, fashion stylists and/or jewellery designers who share the same adoration for the 'good ol' days'.

I was born into, and grew up in the wrong era! My affiliation with all things truly vintage runs through my veins and I feel very stronly about re-creating the era in a respectful manner!

I come from a visual arts background- I have a Bachelor of Applied Design and Visual Arts, and as a result I'm very keen to try some unique concepts, and may even be able to help you come up with something for a shoot...again please don't hesitate to ask!

I am:
-Enthusiastic
-Reliable
-Professional
-Motivated
-Punctual
-Easy-going
-Flexible
-Creative
-Competent at creating vintage hairstyles and make up, however, I would prefer to work with MUAs and Hairstylists as their professionalism ensures a high quality outcome.

Body Mods:
-I have one tattoo on my left wrist measuring 1.5cm x 1.5cm, this can be easily covered if need be.
I have the following piercings:
-navel
-nose (v. small stud)
-tragus
-ear lobes x 5 holes
-upper left ear
All except nose may be removed upon request. I'm not being difficult with the nose stud- it physically won't come out!!!

Experience:
-Hair model for HairMachine- the styles I modelled won each time!
-Promotions with DKNY/Aramis/Kosmea/Nude By Nature
-I'm comfortable in front of the camera! :D
-2 professional shoots

Compensation:
TFP/TFCD
Payment in clothing/shoes/make up/food/travel will not be sniffed at!

Availability:
I work fulltime, however, every 20 days I have an RDO- I'm available all weekend and evenings- let's discuss!

Just so you know what 'kind' of model I'm marketing myself as, please read below:
What Is a Pin-up Model?
There are many misconceptions surrounding pin-up modelling. Pin-Up is not the same as pornography. Pin-ups feature women in sensual and provocative positions, yet these women are fully clothed. The sexuality is implied, but never explicit. Pin-up models became popular during World War II, when soldiers took pin-up photos with them to war. Modern pin-up photography has not changed much from its 1930s origins. It continues to feature women styled in retro-inspired looks that encompass hair, makeup and fashion.

Pin-up modelling is a respected form, but it is a very precise niche. It falls under the category of glamor modelling, and is sometimes referred to as cheesecake modelling.

Now you know! :D
