chantalbeare - Model, Fashion Designer from Bath, Bath, Bath and North East Somerset, UK

Hi I'm a South African/British female currently studying my second degree in Psychology. I have a degree in Fashion and love working in front and behind the camera. I do still create my own collections and show at Alternative Fashion Week. I also provide a made-to-measure service as a Designer.
My style is very feminine as I do tend to dress for my figure which is a true hourglass (10inch difference between bust-waist-hips). I have done quite a few different kinds of photo-shoots -hair, boudoir, campaign for Vaseline in New York, underwear; semi -nude only illusion. I have also done film extra work such as The Boat that Rocked (Naked Lady); 360 and the BBC. I have trained and mentored my own models in the art of catwalk and photo modelling as I did this in my teens in South Africa and England.
I am always interested in trying something new and creating beautiful images with like-minded professionals. I am a very creative person and such bring that to my work be it in front or behind the camera and I love editing photos too.
I currently work for pay as I self-fund my education and therefore do not have a lot of free time to TPF but I do occasionally do TPF shoots if they are mutually beneficial.
As a model I pride myself on being a professional, punctual and friendly person.
