Nearly one year ago I made this post about a print on aluminium that is for sale. Well it's yet to be unsold and now it's on sale. :D

Go ahead, make an offer!

30 October 2011

I found some unpublished pics from last summer on my computer.. thought it'd be a good time to share, cos it'll be a while I get new ones. Well, I should get more latex-golf pics next week though. :) But next weekend I'm going to Helsinki to meet friends and, surprise surprise, do two or three shoots - most likely three. Yippee, I'm soooo loving this again right now. How I wish I could just live on modelling. *sigh*

And looking at these pics how I wish it was summer again. *sigh*

On the cold streets of Turku...

From the shoot we did some time ago with Sami. Here are the ones I've posted so far.

20 September 2011

Silent street at night

Or not so silent afer all. Anyway, we were shooting with Sami - needed to wait for the perfect rainy, but not too rainy, weather. Here are some samples in the form of making of pics and ~~two~~ three final end products. More to come.

Antti was assisting and took photographs while we were shooting with Sami. Antti's web page here.

Here are some actual shots..

Some passers by may have gotten a story to take home as they were driving past. A half nekkid lady with two dudes shooting her in her underwear and a jacket.. O.O OMG!

We had to shoot really quick and then jump out of the street so as not to get hit by cars. The photographer now really needed to guide the model to save her from being hit by a car! Hah! We were shooting so that the cars were coming behind me, so it was a bit difficult to concentrate at times. Also the trafiic that was pretty heavy at times didn't helt either. Not to mention the light rain and the cold wind. <3 Gotta luv these outdoor shoots! x) Hehee.

Okay, one more, and we'll wait to get more pics from Sami. :D

Edit: I only just now noticed (it's 23rd) that I had accidentally put a making of -pic here as the last one. Now it's the one it's supposed to be! :)

Summer evening sun

I really should be sleeping right now, but I just have to post a couple of pics from today's shoot with Sami. :)

Why should I be sleeping then? Weeeell, tomorrow' an early start, cause we're heading to Helsinki with my friend to Sonisphere festival. I'm gonna see Slipknot <3 again. Hehee. I'm sooooo excited I had to share this non-modelling-related info with you.

Click to enlarge, this small size is not so good to these.. 8/

One morning continued

Black 'n gray to employ the tattooist way of saying it. Hmm, also a bit of white I guess. Photos by Sami.

One morning

A shoot before going to work in the early mornign. Well for Sami I guess it was late morning, since he's more of a morning person than me.

It took me a while to start liking this one (below).. maybe because I look somehow so raw. I don't know what I mean by raw exactly, but that's the word that comes to my mind just now looking at this.

This is a bit different kind of Sami, don't you think? And maybe even a bit different kind of me.. What do you think of these? I believe there's also more of these coming.

Going back in history: 2009 pt. 2/2

First, what we did with Sami Saarenpää in the year 2009 (in addition to this previous post).

In addtion to being in ~~porn~~ adult entertainment magazines this year (Hustler and Erotiikan Maailma, although, only as a catalogue model type of thing, no spreading them legz) I did another shoot for Dare Dolls (which atm seems to have been disappeared from the net). This time with Olga. I'd wanted to do a collaboration with another model for some time and then I came up this idea of Olga. Or was it Sami's idea.. hmmm, might've been actually.

Aaaanyway, here a couple of those.

Later the same year I did a bit more classy stuff with him.

I got to try a couple of other new things this year as well. First up: body painting modelling for Heli Tikkanen. Here she's adding the final glitter on the paint. This was a very quickly done bodypainting jog in a party. She told me she normally has lots more time to paint a person. And even this took for quite some time!

Unfortunately I have no idea who took this picture.

During summer I did my first moving picture-thingy: Duke short film, where I starred as the stripper. The video was released finally this winter and got huge success on youtube and was recocgnized all over the world by different gaming magazines and such. Even the man who invented Duke Nukem complimented the video! :D Awesome! Later the vid was hidden for underaged viewers, and can thus only be seen by logging on Youtube. This is quite silly imho. There is no nudity and no real striptease. I merely hang around the pole. Read these posts about making the video!

Here's once more me and "Duke".

I guess that was all worth mentioning for 2009! See you aigain in 2010. :D

5 May 2011

One less car, huh?

I could write a story for this one... but I'll leave it this time and not ruin your photography. ;)

Another shoot with Sami. Well actually, the same shoot with the biaatch and the stripey -concepts. I guess we tend to do lots of things once we get together. But hey, it works like that!

Okay, fine, the point in this was to shoot Sami's new bike. :D He just wanted to have me as an accessory there. x)

And yes, you've seen the socks and the shoes and the shirt and the bra before. -.- My wardrobe is only that extensive.

3 May 2011

Fuckyeah bitches!

Need I say more? I wanted to have something else than cute and sweet for a change. I got exactly what wanted. It's cool, cos I know what kinda stuff might work with which photographer, so it's easy to suggest a theme and know that it's gonna work. This look was no doubt for Sami to shoot.

More of tough-chick-Jodie coming up. ;)

The annoying little things

This is going to be the first ranting post of this blog! Wow. :D So beware..

There are a few things that annoy me in photographers and in people looking at my pictures. These situations described here are exaggerated to some extent and some have happened to me one time only. Don't take this too seriously either. ;)

The photos are chosen on the basis of having me there looking angry or dissaproving. No relation with the incidents mentioned with the photographers. ;)

- "Oh you got tattoos", says the photographer on the set. Yes. I friggin do have tattoos! You'd know that if you'd read my profile and chekced my photos on my portfolio anywhere.

- "Oh and remove your nose ring", says the photographer on the set as though surprised I got a nosering. If they'd checked my portfolio in MM (where basically all the photographers have found me in the first place) they'd know this and they could tell me in advance they want a look without the ring. This is easy to fix though.

- "You don't look like yourself at all!" says my friend/mother/anyone who knows me personally after seeing my photo. Well, yeaaah. What'd the point of modelling be if I always looked the same in every photo. O.o The whole point of modelling, my dears, is to be versatile, to look different, even weird. It's not the point to always look pretty and cute either.

- When arriving to the agreed place at the agreed time all ready with makeup on, ready to poseposepose, and realising the photographer is not ready at all. Ehm.. why did we agree to meet at this time if you haven't cleaned up the place(!)/ set the equipment/ thought of where to shoot and what to do. I could've come later, you know. Obviously there are exceptions to this: if we go to the location together (it'd be great if the photographer was familiar with the location beforehand), if the studio is far and the photographer takes me, also, if we're basically friends with the photographer and can chat about whatever then it's not such a big deal, but when I come to a photoshoot I'm ready. Always with make up on (maybe adding only lipstick), preferably also the clothes. Also, I arrive on time. So why won't the photographer?!

- Photographers expecting me to have a ginormous wardrobe. No, I do not. I shop mostly second hand. I use my clothes till they fall apart. I don't have the trendiest sack-like shirts. I hate leggings. And no, I do not have just that particular style skirt, shoes, shirt, dress. I also have very limited amount of shoes and clothes of a particular historical era/ certain style.

- Realising the photographer isn't really that big. Sure it's good to praise pneself, but bragging about stuff when one really isn't all that is just pointless - and will prove to be lie. So if you haven't shot all that much, don't tell me you're very experienced.

- Trying to make the model undress. We agree on implied nude and that nothing's supposed to show in the eventual photographs. During the shoot the photographer keeps telling me to lift my hem or lower my skirt, even asking me to take more clothes off. No, I will not, that is ot what we agreed on. Moron. I will never shoot with you again.

- Photographers that are photographers only to get to see(shoot nekked ladies. Need I say more?

For Sale!

It's not often that I actualy try to get something sold here.. in fact this is the first (and possibly the last?) time. This photo (or rather a set of) has come to it's retirement from circling around and being displayed in different places..

This series is printed on aluminium and is now for sale. Size of this piece is about one meter wide and 30cm high. The price is negotiable. Make an offer!

I am not selling this piece alone, nope, I'm merely a messenger;). The person behind this is Sami Saarenpää, the photographer (well, naturally I'd get my share, so..). And I must say this set of pictures looks great this size and on aluminium!

Feel free to spread the word!

Sraitjacket

These pics are from the latest photoshoot with Sami taken about a week ago.

Straitjackets are, by the way, unbelievably heavy. O.o

Tonight's photoshoot

This week I've done a lot of model-stuff. :) A shoot with Nadi Hammouda, been a t-shirt canvas for a performance painter Neal Barbosa on Rebound's gig, a music video with Steve Gatlin for Big Daddy & Rockin Combo and this shoot tonight with Sami. More to come from this session and looking forward to the results from others as well.

Photoshoots, where are you?!

I wanna do more shoots! Now! With my new hair n all, I feel like I want to do my portfolio all over again from a scratch. But where are all the photographers now when I need 'em?!

(Okay, okay, I'm pretty busy here myself as well, this time of year I guess everyone is?!)

I would looove to have a new beauty shot.. Here's one hanging on my wall (okay, I really don't have my own pic on the wall, but I just turned the page of the calendar for the purpose of getting a pic here.. and then it immediately fell down from my wall. O.o "Stop being so vain, take off this stupid pic of yourself" my wall was saying.).. I think this is one of the beauty shots I love the most. One of the best taken of me. Although, now it feels this girl here is someone totally different from me. Someone pretty lying on the bed.. wow, amazing. Now can I be in it next?!:D

Secret Meeting X

We've planned this shoot for long. It took really short time to shoot it when we finally managed to get together and do it. This is from the Secret Meeting series that sami has done. This though is perhaps the brightest and even one of the happiest stories among those. Not sure, however, cos I haven't seen all of them. And you can always "read" this any ways you like.. ;)

By the way: Do the locations look familiar? Some of you might recognize the places.. ;)

More of the hippie-Jodie

I just got more pics from the hippie shoot (haa haa, sounds like I was shooting hippies as bang bang with a gun. Theehee.. yea.) and wanted to share some of them here^^! I'm quite happy with these.

..especially the last one. My personal fave. And looking at the pic above, it seems I have gained some muscle on my biceb. All the training done in the autumn didn't go to waste. I wish I had more time to work out now as well.

Oh and this blog has reached over thousand visitors!! :D Whopiiiii yeeeeaaaah! In only a little over a mont! Thank you for visiting^^!!

Oh and one more thing.. I'll be posting these hippie-pics in color soon. :D (I'm just too anxious to post right away what I get. Haahaa!)
