Wonderful thread! Everyone looks very pretty
Iv been modeling since 2008, I started with cosplay and then began trying swimsuit and alternative modeling. Now I do it as a regular hobbie thanks to all the photographers iv met over the years. Next month I have my first underwater shoot, no tail though. I did find a sponsor to fund me to make my mermaid tail so it should be done for summer <3

These are my favorites from my latest shoot

Ohh Ilonka, get out you're too pretty xD

I've always wanted to be a model of some sort but I was always
told I have to be tall o_O

[Ilonka]

It depends on what area of modeling you want to go for. Alternative modeling is becoming increasingly popular and the models range from curvy, short, tall, thin, it doesent matter as long as you know how to work it.
High fashion runway modeling is the type with high demands for taller, thinner models and even they are making allot of changes.
Im not that tall either, im 5'6.
You should look for local photographers who are looking for models to do projects, they usually do shoots for free or for moderate prices. You can find them at art schools and institutes and most are students anyways.

Ilonka you look stunning! Beautiful photos and a great body ^^ I love how you did, you hair

Unfortunately the only photographers in my area are creepers looking for nudes -.-

[Ilonka]

:3 thanks! Aww, that really sux. I hate it when certain photographers turn out to be pricks :/ make a Model Mayhem, iv met allot of good photographers thanks to it.

Ilonka, your a great model!

I must know where I can get that swimsuit!

[Kanti]

I probably should make one :'D
I love doing photoshoots~ But yea, I'd be a little iffy to get naked. I guess if they paid me a whole
lot I would baha.

I suppose this counts. It's from a photoshoot for a costume I did. I don't know if it's modeling? I guess so,
holding those poses was actually pretty annoying xD

No way, that looks so awesome! Yay silent hill!

The character designs from that series are some of my favorites.

[Ilonka]

Silent hill cosplays Love it!

Here is a pic of my latest shoot done in blacklight~ Was tons of fun!

[Mermaid Sirena]

That is so awesome! I want to do a black light shoot so bad! Well I want to do one that has a competent photographer -.-

[Kanti]

Oh my god that's a super cool idea o_o
It looks freaking awesome
I also love how the black light looks pink!

It almost looks like your holding a light-saber xD
Badass

I got the swimsuit at the hotel i work at, its from a brazilian designer. The problem is that they only make a few of each item and once they are sold they dont make them anymore :/

[AniaR]

did a big shoot in my tail and in mermaid minerals! check out these

[Spindrift]

I love your new photos Raina! You look great, and you're rocking the Mermaid Minerals makeup really well.

[Alveric]

Cool.

[Ilonka]

From my first underwater shoot~ It was a pain, but also tons of fun and i love how the pics came out :3
Also served as practice for my future mermaid shoot in the ocean

[Mermaid Lorelei]

The photos are beautiful Raina! I love some of the positions you got into.

And Ilonka, wonderful underwater shoot. I'm curious, however. What made them such a pain?

[AniaR]

Ilonka is a water baby my nose hurts for you look at that one backwards pose XD
