Hey folks!
My name is RavenEmber - Jodie if you know me - Big Red if you know me well. I've been modelling for 13 years now (ouch! that makes me sound so old!!) and I love it more nowadays than I ever have! I pride myself in being very versatile, willing and able to cover a high range of styles from the alternative, to high couture fashion, to horror, to edgey street fashion to beauty and more. I always work my tooshie off on a shoot to give the photographer/stylist/designer the images they are after. You have heard of method actors? Well I'm a method model! I become the character you want me to portray.
I had a hard time growing up losing a lot of very close love ones in a small amount of time for different reasons - tragic accidents, suicides, drugs, illness....but through this, I have become the woman I am today. I am very in touch with my emotions and use this everytime I take part in a shoot. I'm not afraid to express myself through my body and my facial expressions, even to the extend of creating "ugly beauty" - screaming faces, tear-y eyes, fearful gazes or happy lies! I love to create beauty of all sorts.
Modelling for me is a way of expressing myself and creating inspiring and beautiful imagery in a world that is sometimes not so nice. Beauty, inspiration, love and kindness can be found in the strangest places if you just open up your eyes and look through the filth and the cruelty and the harshness of the world. There is always someone/something there ready to give you back your faith in the goodness and the beauty of humanity when all else seems to point to darkness. If my work gives rise to one smile, one laugh, one sigh, one new thought, even one tear, then my work is done!
She looks fab....love all the models that you use! :))
