Hey this might seem really random but I may be in need of an exceptionally pretty mermaid with some great photos willing to have their face plastered net-wide as part of a promo for my book. I'm looking for someone mid twenties, with long wavy golden hair and green eyes. It's not a big deal, just to accompany links to my books and stuff on visual sites like tumblr and my facebook page and as of next week, my website. I can't really pay anything yet so all I can pledge in return is a lot of exposure so if there are any up and coming mermaids who want a bit of advertising, I've got about 600 followers for now over 3 different social networks.

Also if anyone else wants to have their photos shown off, regardless of their looks, I'm always after fresh pics for my tumblr and Facebook :) Always happy to include links back to your own sites :)

As a side note-if you almost fit the first description but are off on eye colour and yet have photos where it's not visible anyway then that's cool too :)

How neat! I do have long wavy blonde/golden hair but have blue eyes. Would you like us to just post a picture up in the thread?

Sea Pearl you're pretty damn close to how I imagine my Ivyanne :)

I'm willing to accept pics of anyone so long as they don't mind my book being branded with their pics. I've been sharing mer pics left right and centre on my sites just for the sake of prettiness, but to put my link on them as well, I'd obviously prefer to have permission.

I will be going for vaguer photos-water shots and what not as opposed to really up close unless I find a doppelganger for the heroine of my series.The mermaids in my story are more like what a mermaid would be if they lived half their lives as humans, so I shy away from all the lovely shell bikinis and 'fantasy' versions just because of the contradiction to my theme. So the more natural, the better.
Happy to just re-blog the fantasy shots too though :)

I have about 60 characters in the trilogy so anyone who's keen to be shared, I'll be happy to take anything :) feel free to post your photos on my sites if you're on them too, and your own website links. It's https://www.facebook.com/skmunt OR http://mermaidwhispererskmunt.tumblr.com

sounds like a very cool project!
I have a few shoots coming up and we dont really have a theme picked yet--- maybe I can help? So you're thinking far away, in the water....nothing fancy as far as a top...maybe hair falling over where a top would be?
Please feel free to use any of my photos on my website (www.mermaidavalon.blogspot.com) or facebook (www.facebook.com/mermaidavalon)...you can just ink back to my facebook if you dont mind:)
I have a great location I'm shooting at on aug 10th-- I can try to do some shots you have in mind if you want:) It is a very beautiful pond with a naturally colored liner....sort of a paradise for me here on the east coast!

Same here :) I am currently growing my hair out (at my shoulders yay) but I have dishwater blond hair and blue eyes with a pink tail so I guess yell at me for pictures or when you need that kind of a mermaid lol can't wait to read the books

I'm not sure if sometime you'll decide to feature an Asian-esque mermaid (well, dark hair, dark eyes, olive skin)-- but when you do, holla! This sounds like SUCH a great project!
Here're some tester photos. Sorry they turned out so gargantuan.
