General Information

Shahina is an Arabic name meaning "falconess." I chose it as an inspiration to keep soaring ever higher and more gracefully, and yet, like a falconess, I am never truly free but always return to my falconer, fledglings, and worldly responsibilities.

I have found that artists and photographers enjoy a model who moves well and requires little or no direction, yet is willing participate in the artist's vision. I have an expressive face and can display a depth and range of emotion which is elusive to younger models.

I am not your "typical" model. If you found me in your search you are obviously looking for something different. I have no burning desire to appear in next month's Maxim or Playboy. I have the soul and vision of an artist. My preference would be to hang in the Art Institute one hundred years from now. I want to create images that might hang in a front hall or be displayed in a garden as a life sized statue.

To my way of thinking, there are at least two types of photography: first, commercial photography, which seeks to capture a visually perfect image of a physical object, perhaps even to portray a perfection which does not exist. This is of limited interest to me.

The second is artistic photography. This seeks to capture and bring to light sublime inner qualities which may not readily be observed with the naked eye, or which allows the viewer to see the subject from a perspective which they might not otherwise have taken. This is where my interest lies, and I love to see what a collaborative effort of creative minds produces. I am particularly interested in working with sculptors and painters in addition to photographers.

I am ever exploring new avenues of expressing my creative spirit. Middle Eastern dancing, writing and modeling are my primary channels of artistic expression. I am energetic and motivated, striving constantly to hone my skills. As a professional belly dancer, I supplement my training with ballet, modern dance, jazz, and yoga. This intense regimen over time has dramatically changed my appearance. Consequently, I have a need to regularly "refresh" my portfolio with photos that reflect my current physique.

I understand that fine art may take time. I am happy to negotiate my time per shoot rather than per hour. If I can stand in front of an art class for an hour, or in front of a sculptor for a few weeks then you can be sure that I want to take whatever time you need to get the shot right.

I have a great sense of humor and am not afraid to relax and be silly. Someday I may even go to clown school for a kick, since children seem to find tremendous amusement in the ridiculous facial expressions and unique voices that I employ when reading aloud or storytelling.

This brings up the subject of voiceovers. I have a great deal of experience in reading aloud, and at one time competed in poetry reading and readers' theatre. I am just as comfortable reciting Shakespeare as I am children's literature and would find tremendous pleasure in doing voiceovers or recorded books.

A Few Words About Professionalism:
I conduct myself and my business in a professional manner. I find that working out the business details of a shoot in advance leaves us free to be creative on the day of the shoot. When I commit to a session, I will show up and I will be on time. If I expect to be late, I will phone. I expect the same of the people I work with. Excuses are for children.

A Few Words About Travel:
I am willing to travel as long as expenses are covered. I do require that travel expenses be paid in advance. This can be done on my belly dance website through PayPal.

A Few Words About TFP:
I may occasionally shoot TFP for artists who have a truly unique vision, but I am largely seeking paid work. I have found that photographers who have an investment in the session are more likely to- A) show up, and B) take an interest in editing images to create a finished product. All TFP work must offer a shared copyright and unlimited use with proper credit. If you wish to work on a TFP basis, please state so clearly at the outset, and include a compelling reason why we should work TFP. If you believe we can make great art together by all means let's do so! All work is paid unless we specifically agree otherwise.

A Few Words About Communication:
For some reason many emails sent through OMP do not go through. If you are interested in working together please first use the acknowledgements feature to publicly bookmark me on your OMP tracker. Once you have done so contact me via email detailing the nature of your interest. By following this procedure you may be certain that I will receive your message.

A Few Words About Tattoos:
I have no permanent tattoos of any sort, anywhere. The highly visible body markings in some of my portfolio pictures are created with henna, or mehndi. This ancient art is used to create interesting patterns that disappear within a few weeks. See Shahina's Henna Page for more information.

The multi-colored body markings in some pictures are elaborate body painting work or body projections. Anyone can wear a bikini; contact me if your interest lies in more creative styles of body decoration.
