Alicia Alexis

Hi hi hi ?

I'm a big dumb chancer who's accidentally but delightfully found an unexpected joy in the process of making fantastic images with lovely creative people.

Apparently I'm quite good at it too as I've enjoyed a couple of magazine publications and worked with my number one fashion brand already. It's a fluke I'm sure.

(To my detriment, I'm also slowly and laboriously learning my way around my own camera, which I hope gives me another helpful perspective...)

As you can see, I sit cheerfully at the 'super curvy' end of plus size with zero hang ups or quirks about my body or desire to make it appear less than it is.

I have tattoos on my upper arms and legs, both nostrils pierced and stretched earlobe piercings.

What do I want to shoot?

Your idea or mine!

My first love is art nude (whoever says 'naked chicks on rocks' have to be skinny ones?) closely followed by any and all quirky, unusual silliness. It's by no means obligatory for me to get my clothes off.

I do enjoy good old lingere, boudoir and playfully suggestive shoots (any excuse to get into a corset!) but would prefer not to be entirely typecast into soft fluffy bedrooms all the time. ?

If you're curious about shooting bigger bodies but haven't done so before, I'd be especially overjoyed to hear from you. Similarly, shoot film and go to the top of the queue.

I bring lots of enthusiasm, giggles and energy (and often Haribo) to shoots and am told, very flatteringly, that I make the space come alive with my presence.

We'll have some funny conversations along the way too no doubt.

How do I work?

Modelling is something I do for fun first and foremost - I have no delusions about how far from a 'typical' female model I am ?.

That being said reliability, trust, clear communication and good old effort are non-negotiable courtesies I give to and expect from everyone I interact with.

I'll do anything within my power to be available for ideas that interest me, bearing in mind I have other work and commitments to juggle. I'll tend to book a couple of months ahead to ensure I can plan my time properly.

I love a road trip, but outside of my immediate vicinity I'll ask for my expenses to be covered as sadly my car doesn't run on fairydust. ?‍??

Levels and rates

These are to be worked out between us on a case by case basis. I will work TF on projects that interest me and for photographers I've established a rapport with, but at the same time some recompense for what I bring to the table isn't unreasonable I don't think.

As a grown-up adult I'm unlikely to be shocked or offended by suggestions posed to me - it's much easier just to tell me what you have in mind so I can say yes or no and we can get on or move on.

Ultimately if your previous work and current ideas have something going for them that interests me, I'll be into it and do my best, but flatly lit open leg or pointlessly explicit ain't ever going to be on the menu of life.

Thank goodness frankly, because I can't imagine there's any call for it. ?
