Kelsy Nakamatsu

Bio:
I am of Japanese and Filipino descent. I began modeling at the start of 2007 and have done various TFP/TFCD, preliminary and editorial shoots around Hawai'i, California and Vegas. With each shoot I learn more and more about the art of modeling. I have a blast each and every time and still treat it as what it is: work.

I am fascinated by the pure depth and emotion that a photo can portray.

Aspirations:
I am currently accepting paid and TFCD work that will boost my portfolio and/or add a different element to it. TFCD is based on the type of work proposed. I'm interested in doing casual, fashion, glamour, edgy, lingerie, artistic, costume and will do implied-nude work depending on the assignment. I ask that there be a theme/story to what we will be shooting.

As long as traveling expenses are paid for, I will work anywhere. Job description and proper document proof required for overseas jobs.

If you are interested in shooting with me, send me a message including the location, the ideas you have that you'd like to shoot, if you are proposing a TFCD shoot or will it be paid, if you have a MUA/stylist, colors you'd like to use, etc.

Thanks for viewing my portfolio.

Update



Possible physical limitations (aside from height) or advantages (depending on what you want)...
- Tattoos: Tattoos on my lower back, back of my neck, one on each arm, and a tiny one on the back of my ankle. These can be covered with makeup (and a little photoshop) if needed.
- Peircings: Navel, rook, 2ga lobes, and micro-dermal anchor on left arm (placed on moon tattoo). Can be removed if desired.
- Back: I have a rod along my spine from back surgery I had in '98. This means that I cannot possibly bend/arch my back in the extreme way that some models are able to, to get a certain pose (not to mention the scar that runs the length of my back). I can bend my back, just not a whole lot.
