--=About Me=--
Mother/main Agency: EMM
Promotional agencies: Black Diamond Management & Results Media

Ideally please book me via one of my agencys but I do/can take on freelance too.

Hello! :)
My name is Lydia, I'm a dedicated full time agency signed (Non exclusive) model based in NSW with 6 international years of experience behind me and keen to shoot.

I am interested in shoots that not only show off my versatility, but force me to become more versatile as a model and I am always interested in trying new and creative ideas which will make me a better model. Feel free to message me to discuss any possible concepts you might have which would suit me as I love the imaginative and artistic aspect of photography and Modelling. I take on all work with a positive, professional and willing attitude.

I have a unique but versatile look with no enhancements or tattoos but have my bellybutton and ears pierced which I'm more than happy to take out for a shoot.

**I specialise in the commercial side of modelling from fashion, portrait, beauty and lingerie (not cheesy glamour, it doesn't suit me). I regulary shoot for stock librarys and lifestyle shoots too given my versatile look but also appreciate the more arty style of modelling which allows me to be more creative however I'm not an 'adult' model and only work up to implied topless on some shoots SO WILL NOT DO NUDE!! I ask photographers to respect my levels and not waste either of our time by challenging them.**


--=Paid Assignments=--

I offer very reasonable and competitive rates for any work I undertake and have special full day and half day rates especially. When booking me for a shoot please state the levels, location and what I should take with me on the shoot. My travel expenses must be covered aswell.
I'm more than happy to travel nationally and internationally for paid assignments and have done this many times before.
If it's a long haul trip I do ask for tickets to be bought in advance (Thus saving a substantial sum of money) and then sent to me for peace of mind.
I will not charge extra to sign model release forms or charge travel time. I don't drive, and you're probably better off if I don't attempt to so I catch public transport to all shoots.

--=TFCD=--

Sorry, I very, very rarely do TFCD. This is my job and I rarely work for free. However if you truly have a portfolio which is of high standard/magazine quality I will consider it if you have a team of at least a makeup artist. However I will not do a shoot where any of us gain any kind of profit. That's not fair and could be considered exploitation. It is purely for tear sheet submissions and portfolio gain/experience.

--=Testing=--

I rarely do testing unless it is with an agency looking to add me to their books. I do not undertake testing which is specified that I [i]may[/i] get paid work afterwards so please don't contact me for this.

I have been lucky enough to have done literally hundreds of photoshoots across the world and here are some references;

'Lydia is one of the most fabulous, professional, beautiful, kind and funny models I've had the pleasure of working with.
Her work is precise and gorgeous every time, she knows how to portray any character and look given to her and how to do it well! Lydia's hard work has done wonders for my career, as I know it will hers, a true professional who deserves all the success in the world.
I highly recomend you book this model!' - Emily-Rose; Make up Artist

'Lydia came for a shoot yesterday. Despite not feeling very well, she still made the effort of travelling 2.5hrs and performing to the high standards that I was expecting from her. Not only was she professional, punctual, patient, prepared and down to earth but she was also really easy to work with. Along with her outfits, she also brought props to help style the shoot with. Combining a range of expressions with a repertoire of different poses, working with Lydia proved to be a joy. I AM VERY IMPRESSED - BOOK HER NOW IF YOU WANT TO WORK WITH A TRUE PROFESSIONAL. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.' Eddie Cheng; Photographer

'The problem I had when shooting with Lydia is that the afternoon went far too quickly for my liking and I ended up with so many good images at the end of it that I had a big dilemma deciding which ones to use for my portfolio. If *you* wish to have the same kind of problems as I had then you should slap some cash down and book her as soon as you can. You won't go wrong :-)' Chris from Inside Images

'Lydia is an amazing model, but thats obvious from her photos. Not only is she a beautiful and powerful woman, she is so lovely and sweet. So easy to work with, reliable and gives 10000000%.' Katharine R; model

'Lydia is my type of model and someone whom I would shoot through personal choice, so to get paid to shoot her, I guess, makes me very lucky. I had an extremely productive and enjoyable shoot with Lydia and the results were outstanding.
She has great enthusiasm and an excellent range of pose. Her approach is Professional and organised, it goes without saying that Lydia gets my highest recommendation and I look forward to shooting her at every opportunity.' Iain T; Photographer

'Thanks for the brilliant shoot yesterday, first look at the images show winner after winner after winner. Quite simply one of the best models around strikes again!!!' Marcus Green; Photographer

'Lydia is the model. Be privileged as I was.' Clive Welch; Photographer

Well for me Lydia was very different, she is a great actress , very emotive, no picture looks the same, she shoots from one expression to another in seconds and they all work. You'll never get bored with her she made the day total fun, I enjoyed every second, I walked away knowing my pictures were different than everyone else's of her, and so will you. She's extremely creative, you come up with a thread of an idea and she'll add to it. I honestly can't praise her enough great model, great day. Tony Nutley; Photographer

Thanks for reading and I hope we can work together sometime in the future.
