List of Publications I'd like to submit to and Pinterest links
Okay so here is a list of magazines that I am not published in yet would like to submit to. If any one stands out to you let me know and we can build a concept around that. If it gets rejected from one publication we can try for another. Please understand that if we agree to shoot for a publication submission, you'll have to be able to commit to it fully and if you have any questions or concerns I prefer to sort them out prior to the shoot. This saves both us time, energy, and reduces misunderstandings post shoot or doing.
If we shoot for a magazine concept I will send you links to different ones I'd like to submit to along with concepts I'd like to prepare for the shoot. Most magazines have guidelines as to what they want when you submit. like
*Hi-res images at least 300dpi or bigger
*Between 4-12 images
* Unpublished online or anywhere else before publication releases
*Some ask all parties involved to sign a release and confirms with all parties involved.
*Some ask for variety of 2-3 looks in one set
*Unmarked images (some don't mind as long as they have permission)
Are you able to commit to this? I only ask due to recent issues I've had with photographers that I've shoot with only to put in a lot of hard work and effort into something and not receive anything back. I only ask that you inform me in advance if you are too busy to edit pictures after shoot, don't know how edit or use your software, are unable to produce hi res images, or wouldn't be able to sign the release for one reason or another. Do you check your personal/business email often? Please inform me prior to shoot of any hiatuses from the internet, lack of connection, technical difficulties, upcoming vacations etc. If we submit and the magazine responds to ask for hi-res images, release, confirmation etc. A prompt response is preferred in order to have the set ready for the current issue.

If we decide to shoot a zivity set I can send you an invite through email for a free trail and it will remain free after the set is uploaded. If you have any technical difficulties with the site please seek help with the help desk and they will be able to assist you shortly. I think the minimum set is 6 images and the biggest ones are 45, but not so sure. Zivity.com has there own form of paper work for all members to print fill out and either mail out/scan/ or simply take a picture of and email them. They pay models and photographers on a 3 month cycle based on how many votes you receive from fans so the paper work is mostly tax purposes. Photographers are the only ones aloud to upload sets. The only way models can upload sets as if they are self shots or the model is a photographer as well and will have to create a photographers profile. So if we shoot with the agreement to publish a set for Zivity.com please be willing and able to commit to publishing the set and communicate with me of any technical difficulties or concerns you may have and I will be able to assist you as best as possible.
Sorry for the long post I just want to make sure you are as informed as possible and are able to commit to whatever it is that we a agree to shoot and all of my hard work doesn't go to waste. I'm not looking to shoot just for the point of shooting or just to add to my portfolio. I shoot with a purpose to create art.
If you have any questions or concerns about magazine guidelines or Zivity.com policies I will be more than happy to answer them or send you a link to their sites so that you have a better idea of what I'm looking to shoot. I can also send you link to the editors email address to contact him/her/them directly.
I hope this long list inspires you to create some art with me and I look forward to pursuing this journey with you.
Thanks- Ellen
Best Wishes :-)
P.S. If you do not follow up with you commitment on the projects we both choose to collaborate on as in not return pictures after shoot, etc. I will never work with you again and I will not be able to refer you to other models. If you do not want to fully to commit to out projects before and after shoots, Please do not bother working with me and move on to other models. Thanks :-)

TFP Shoots!
First, don't be afraid to ask. I do not bite. I try to be as specific as possible in my portfolio to avoid constantly repeating myself and having to deal with less than professional people.
Okay So I felt the need to type this up here due to a few problems I've had with collaborations not going as planned.
What is TFP?
Time for print/photos
It means that two or more people are coming together to create photos and the payment is the photos to use for whatever the agreed upon use is.
I have a pretty developed portfolio after over 2 years of modeling. I am not looking to add any more.Only to enhance and upgrade my portfolio. It has to be something new and exciting that I have never done before to capture my attention.
Why do I shoot TF?
1.)At this point I shoot TF with the intention of shooting with like minded creative individuals who I believe will enhance my portfolio.
2.) My look changes constantly and I like to have photos the represent my current look so there are any suprises when I show up to a shoot.
3.) I shoot TF with creative people who also like me have the goals of being published in alternative magazines and having high quality work to put out there for the world to see.
4.) Creative Muse: I don't mind working and collaborating with like minded creative individuals who have projects in mind that they believe are suited for me if I am interested in it. But it has be something that I feel is beneficial to me on some level either creative, career wise, fun, intellectual, charity, or something really mind blowing that I do not wish to miss out on.
Things I will NOT do Rather it's TF of PAID!
1.) Erotics, do play dumb and act like you don't know the difference between art and porn. You may see a creative side to this, but I am not interested. Offering me more money will not make me budge on this.
2.) Commercial photography work, my profile clearly states that I am an alternative model and that I am interested in alternative shoots. Most of the request I receive for this line of work are tf and have no benefit to me or my portfolio what so ever.
3.) Fetish work, I am not into foot fetish shoots. A lot of people would like to have you believe that it's just some guy hiring you to take pictures of your feet. But what I have found by reading the fine print is quite disturbing. They require me to be okay with being touched, having my toes sucked or licked, ticking, jacking some guy off with my feet, letting guys cum on my feet, and even footsie creeps me out. I'm sorry I am not interested in this line of work even it is just guys taking pictures of my feet it has no benefit to my portfolio or place in my career thanks for understanding.
4.) Video Vixens, I am not interested in shaking my ass in some guys rap video. Which is what I find most of those request to be. Sorry you are barking up the wrong tree.
Problem...
#3 Over the past year, I've been shooting tf with people clearly stating before working together that I'm interested in submitting to alternative magazines and that is the only main reason why I agree to shoot with them. But I have not been able to submit a single thing.
1.) I don't get pictures back from a shoot.
2.) The pictures I do get aren't good enough.
3.) I submit to magazines and get approved and I let the photographers know that I submitted and send them the guidelines for submissions and crickets. I haven't heard back from either one of them.
Solution...
1.) If you are looking to collaborate with me and it only benefits your project but does nothing for my portfolio. I have Rates they are reasonable.
2.) If you would like to shoot tf with me you must agree that to shoot a concept both of us can use and after submissions (if we decide to submit to any) fill out the photographers side of the applications so that our work can be published in the following issue. If I have worked with you TF before, and I've submitted to magazines yet never heard back from you I will never shoot TF with you Again!
3.) I do not shoot tf nudes, lingerie, or bikini work and very selective of projects that I do choose.
4.) You cannot try to control the shoot and have a my way or the highway kind of attitude. I will end the shoot early and never work with you again.
5.) You should be fully aware that I am an alternative model and I am interested in shooting in mostly alternative fashions. "Traditional" styled shoots aren't really for me. I'm not generally interested. Its ones of those things that I am fully capable of doing, but wouldn't benefit me in any way. Again I have rates! They are reasonable just ask or make me an offer even better.
Photographers
Basically I'm only interested in shooting tf if its an alternative, dark, horror, gore,....etc. concept that I can use for magazine submissions and if you are fine with all of the agreements most magazine require after approving submissions. These are most magazine requirements not mine.
I am genuinely interested in shooting with creative like minded individuals. "Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable" -unknown. I am looking to collaborate with people capable of creating art that shocks, captivates, scares, disturbs, and just pushes the button and goes outside of the box.
1.) Unmarked photos Watermarks looks like they copied them right off the internet without permission even if they do have permission it's still highly unprofessional.
2.) Unpublished photos, I know after shoots we both get excited to share them with the world and your intial reaction is to post them on all of your social media sites and such, but they are much more valuable after waiting until after they are published then sharing the tearsheets.
3.) Large Hi Res images that are at least 300 DPI or bigger. Please let me know in advanced if you do not know how to enlarge images to fit into these standards.
4.) Credits and permission from everyone involved via email mostly. They may ask you to send them an email okaying the use of the images. Send you and email asking if it's okay. Or ask you to print, sign, and scan the release to send it back to them. This includes models, photographers, designers, makeup artist, stylist, and anyone else involved in the creation of the photos.
5.) If we agree to shoot to submit to a magazine, please be willing to commit to it before and after the shoot. And if you have any questions, concerns, or issues please let me know in advance before agreeing to shoot together to save both of us time.
I have clothes that are unphotographed and different looks that I would like to experiment with along with makeup ideas and hair styles I'd like to portray. I have list on my model mayhem account and I tend to post a lot here too. If you are curious about them just ask and we can collaborate together. Thanks
Designers
I am willing to work tf for runway, shoots for websites, and promotional work as well.
Artist/Painters/illustrators/etc.
I have rates they are reasonable. I am a figure model, I work at various art schools all over the city. I can hold poses anywhere from 10 seconds to 1hr depending on the pose, posture, standing, sitting, etc and with breaks of course.
Charity
I am willing to shoot tf if it's to promote or benefit some sort of charity.
Okay So I felt the need to type this up here due to a few problems I've had with collaborations not going as planned.

Alternative Modeling; Alternative Magazines TAMD
Okay so I just went a a facebook group called TAMD a private modeling group for alternative models all over the world. I haven't read all of these magazines but if you are interested in reading more alternative magazines, learning more about the subculture, lifestyle, arts, fashion, models, designers, photographers, etc then here's an excellent source by Ashley and a few others over at TAMD
Here's The Alternative Modeling Directory facebook page. So if you are interested in learning more about alternative styles, modeling, etc from people in the industry world wide this page is highly recommended. Ashley is very supportive all of the models and affiliates on the page and will promote your pictures, website, blog, twitter, etc if you ask her.
Magazines
By Ashley Schandelmeier, Ashley Schandelmeier and 2 others in TAMD files. ·- Here are a list of magazines I have on my 'like' list, along with their FB links, feel free to add to this list. I've alphabetized them so that you can be sure to check if a magazine is already on this list, before you add it.

I'd like to do more alternative shoots but they are not in budget right now. I love the shoots I do in fashion and art, but Alternative fashion will always be my favorite. It's what inspired me to start modeling in the first place. If any photographers, MUAH's, artist, or designers in the Chicago area would like to work with me and discuss shoots with similar themes please email me at saphirerainforest@gmail.com for rates and booking information. Rates are affordable just ask and if you have a good concept and good work I don't mind shooting tf as long as it's within budget as far as transportation, props, outfits, etc goes.
