Firstly, thanks for visiting my portfolio. Hey, I'm Gem, Irongem

Upcoming tour dates, with locations to shoot from;
Belgium - May 23-26
Germany - summer tour dates tbc

My rates, levels, availability & other portfolios/social media links are below with headers, the extra paragraphs below are more of a get to know me and tour information.

I'm a Scottish alternative model happy to travel anywhere to shoot. I have found an artistic outlet, passion & empowerment I never knew existed. After lots of encouragement I decided to try and make this a career a few years ago. I am loving it! I can express parts of me I never knew were possible, whilst embracing my femininity and strength to create some wonderful images (so I like to think anyway). My favourite work so far has been doing a catwalk for Wella Trendvision, hair modelling in London, what an experience!

I am more than happy working on a massive range of ideas and can easily switch my look from alternative to casual or a more feminine style, plus many things in between. I am happy travelling absolutely anywhere for a shoot - I just love meeting new people to create with! I am an outgoing individual who can chat the hind legs off a donkey as I get told very often (My customer service and call centre management background I think). Though I do take my work seriously, I love to make sure we enjoying our shoot time together and always strive to create a comfortable environment wherever I am to get the best results.

There is so much to explore and create - so if you want to lead a shoot and have me bring your ideas to life, or ask more about my ridiculous amount of ideas and use some of those, feel free to get in touch. I am happy working with professional and amateur/hobbyist photographers alike. Life is all about learning after all!

I am happy to be apart of many different projects and styles of shooting. I favour anything alternative, fashion, location based, fetish and boudoir.

I like to enjoy my shoots and have fun whilst creating with other artists. Whatever the theme, I will always work hard to achieve ideas planned out beforehand, keeping the shoot professional, fun and relaxed.


SERIOUS BITS

Levels & themes worked to

I work styles such as; portraiture, fashion, gothic, themed, alternative, implied, concealed & artistic nude, boudoir, glamour, topless, full nude, erotica, mild BDSM and fetish levels. I do not shoot anything unstated. No *secret levels*.

UK Rate
- £45 per hour
- half day (four hours)- £160
- full day (eight hours) - £300

EU rate
- will vary per tour.

Commercial rates can also vary depending on the project

72 hour cancellation policy - the shoot fee will be invoiced if you no show or cancel within this time period. This can vary on tours with a longer cancellation policy in place. After numerous let downs I have had to take this more seriously, as this is my job and I rely on the income.

BOOKING INFORMATION AND AVAILABILITY

I'm available to shoot mainly Thursday to Sundays on a weekly basis, due to college. Except for the holidays and summer, where I am available full time again.

I book hotels and Air B&Bs regularly to use as a base, though I am more than comfortable working in a studio and also on location. When on tour I add a surcharge for use of my accomodation, which is factored into my EU rate.

I enjoy travelling, so don't let distance put you off! Anywhere in the world is manageable for me, I add the travel fee onto mt model fee, and I will always find the cheapest mode of transport to keep costs low. Unless I am shooting in the area/country for a few days, where I of course cover my own travel and have a space to shoot.

MY AESTHETIC

I am an alternative model who doesn't conform to most typical beauty standards. I have a double nose piercing, a medussa lip piercing, a 3mm helix ear piercing, nipple piercing and two stretched lobes at 20mm (my hair covers these most of the time).I have numerous tattoos, including; a full back tattoo, Japanese dragon theme sleeve, zombie girl on my arm and Greek mythology inspired leg tattoos of Hades and Achilles - with more to come!

I can do my own hair and make-up to a high standard but have no extensive practice in beauty. If you want specific looks and/or styles, I may manage these myself or we may need some help of a MUA if for a specific detailed project. I am always happy having my nails, face and hair done to request, otherwise I will always be well groomed for shoots.


If you got to the end without falling asleep..... Thank-you for reading and feel free to message me your shoot ideas! :)
