“If you feel like shooting…”

This question (in various forms) gets asked so often that it’s more efficient to address it this way than to continue responding individually.

If you want to take pictures of me, or put me in a video, or cast me in a film or whatever other project you’ve dreamed up and want to involve me in, please email Guyleen.

Guyleen is awesome. She kicks butt at her job and is amazingly helpful and handles negotiations and bookings and my schedule so that I have the time to actually do the being me part.

Things like a clear idea of your concept, the dates you intend to shoot it, what publication it is for, and what my compensation will be are all very helpful in getting a fast response from her.

Yes, compensation. Compensation because this is my job and money is how I pay my rent and if I have free time I’m going to be sewing, hanging upside down, sleeping, interacting with people on the internet or reading, and again, you wouldn’t ask an accountant if they want to come over after work and do your taxes for fun, would you?

If I did feel the need to shoot something for fun, I have some amazingly talented friends I’d go to first, because I already know them and sometimes life is just unfair that way.

Thank you for understanding and following directions,
Stoya
