Member Notes | Experience:
I am an experienced model, starting at 18 with the usual Jackie magazine story strips (remember those?), progressing onto camera clubs and suchlike in my early 20s. I appeared magazines and my images were displayed around Europe in various exhibitions. I stopped at 25 feeling I was getting too old (ha, little did I know!) In 2006 I briefly flirted again with modelling and appeared on the cover and inside Lush Cosmetics Forum charity calendar for 2007, but didn't follow it up. However I've started again, and have been delighted to find that there is a much better market for leggy petite older models than in previous years. What a relief!
I love working outdoors and am not averse to being humorous or bizarre if required. I enjoy character work too. I'm flexible, often being able to work at very short notice and don't take myself too seriously. I will do 'implied nudity' and 'implied topless' but not overt. I know my limits.
I'm a car buff, loving old classic cars in particular, I'm passionate about cooking and adore musical settings. I play the violin and sing and enjoy photography at both sides of the lens!
Please note, I will be taking on very few TF* assignments from now onwards. There will always be exceptions, but please don't be offended if I say no. It's not personal. Thank you for your understanding.
Comments:
I am able to supply a fully equipped studio with various sets in for a very reasonable additional cost, if required. Please contact me for further details.
Thank you for looking at my profile. It's appreciated.
PS My dress and shoe size are UK. So that means I'm a US 4 and my feet are a US 71/2

Rita has a great wardrobe and plenty of ideas. She is ready to try anything and her experience shows. If your looking for someone that keeps in contact and that you can rely on to turn up with the goods she's the one.

Had a couple of shoots with Rita now, very hardworking with extensive wardrobe and great at vintage stuff.
If you want someone to photograph with your classic machinery without it looking to glammy, then this is your woman.

Just had a really great shoot with Rita today. Great comms all the way up to the shoot. An absolute delight to work with, very enthusiastic, takes direction brilliantly, she took all my concepts and built on them and produced some superb stuff for me to work on. A model really well worth booking!

Rita gave very good communications before, during and after the shoot. Her choice of clothes and attitude added to her experience and enthusiasm which can be seen in the finished photos from the session. I would recommend working with her.

"They say the devil's in the detail. If a photograph is requiring certain specific elements dependant upon the model, or just the frisson of edginess, that je ne sais quoi - then if your working with Rita your troubles are over. She's amazing! Intuitively she recognises the smallest detail that may just jar the picture. Now I'm good - she's better. She also understands the importance of storyboarding and characterisation. And as for quick changes including make up then look no further. She's an exceptionally proficient model who I thoroughly recommend."

"Rita is an intelligent, vivacious and versatile model. Her figure is sylph like yet very feminine. Her skin and look are wonderful to behold. She puts the photographer at ease and provides friendly suggestions as to how the shoot should be approached. Rita's sense of humour ensures that there is laughter and fun though this in no way detracts from her professional approach. A pleasure to work with."

I have worked with Rita on several occasions (11/2008-03/2010) and in a wide variety of different styles from fashion to vintage to burlesque, in the studio and on location, with props from cars to designer fashion accessories to vintage gramophones! She is very experienced, capable and adaptable. Excellent communications before and during each shoot, great fun to work with, and above all, willing to put in hard work to get the results. I hope to have the opportunity to continue working with her on a regular basis, and would recommend her to any other photographer.

26th March 2010 - Had my third shoot with Rita yesterday. If you are looking for a great model who can do her own makeup beautifully, knows how to pose and makes a really positive contribution then book Rita, you won't be disappointed ! (and she makes a wonderful cup of coffee)
16th March 2010 - Just had another great shoot with Rita - she arrived early with a great selection of cloths and had researched the look I was after. If you haven't worked with Rita before then you have missed out !
2nd March 2010 - Just finished shoot with Rita. She is really great to work with. Arrived on time even though we are not the easiest of places to find. Rita is very friendly, easy to work with and I know we have some great photos from this afternoons session. She is very professional and knows what she is doing and I would love to work with her again in the future.

Had a ball working with Rita last Friday. She was bubbly and full of good ideas but also jokes which made the afternoon just fly by. Would happily work with her again.
